Welcome to Vivid Weathers - a complete Weather and Visual overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition ( and Anniversary )
Vivid Weathers is the latest and biggest Weather and Visual Overhaul for Skyrim SE.
It overhauls all the Skyrim Weathers and Imagespaces, and add a whole bunch of new
ones (500+) along with custom effects (Snowstorms, blizzards, thick fog, distant fogs, distant rain, particle snowflakes...) ...and much more!
It includes all the features from Real Skyrim Snowflakes, Vivid Clouds & Fogs, and offer a comprehensive compilation of multiple weathers style found in other weathers mods such as Climates Of Tamriel, Expanded Snow System or Supreme Storms.
It is especially tweaked to look stunning without a ENB in use - so weaker rigs can also benefit from the wonderful weathers.
