Immersive Weather

This mod adds 41 weather presets that can be switched between while playing skirmish and conquest maps. The focus of this mod is on realism and staying true to the vanilla style, with realistic, muted lighting and balanced contrast - though a few presets do provide more dramatic weather conditions such as heavy storms and dark nights.

For best results, ensure HDR is turned on, and Depth of Field is turned off.

To switch between the weather presets, enter a game, select a single unit, and use the Next Weather and Previous Weather buttons in the bottom-right gear menu. If a unit normally has a button in this space, that will take priority, in which case another unit may be selected for these buttons to appear.

Dynamic Conquest and Skirmish/MP on vanilla and DLC maps is fully supported. Third party maps may or may not work, depending on the map.

These are the included presets, in the order that they are switched between in-game:

• 1. Dawn - Very early in the morning. The contrast between the sky and ground hinders visibility, and makes vehicle lights particularly useful.
  
• 2. Early Morning - A bright, early morning.
  
• 3. Crisp Morning - A misty, cool morning in a slightly purple light.
  
• 4. Hazy Morning - Morning in a warm, purple haze.

Immersive Weather is inspired by (and originally based on) the Random Weather Button mod by Nikral. If you are looking for weather presets that are a bit more stylized and different from the base game, I strongly recommend checking this mod out as well!
