Permanent Cloud removal

[Silfr Estep]

Is there a way to turn off clouds permanently? Its annoying to turn the off every time i start up the game.

No. I tested all INI options which are available.
For example in ENGINE.INI added this at the end of the file:

[SystemSettings]
r.VolumetricFog=0 ; Clear water in ocean
r.VolumetricCloud=0 ; Remove moving clouds
grass.SizeScale=0.7 ; Define height of grass
grass.DensityScale=2.5 ; Define density of grass

The fog and the grass works. But the clouds are still there.

Then tested command line parameters for launching the game in steam.
Then tested running an -exec script via command line at start.
For most options these working too, but not for the clouds.

I haven’t tried this yet because playing on official but on ASE it was

DisableWeatherFog=True

Maybe also try without the r.

VolumetricClouds=0

I would be curious to know.

I hate the clouds, they don't impact fps/performance for me but without them i the game looks so much more stunning and beautiful to be able to see a sky. and as a visually impaired person getting rid of the fog on top of removing clouds is a huge +

You hate your computer, not the clouds.
When your PC looks like this, they are gorgeous.

Nope, my computer is just fine

rtx 4060
500gb ssd and a 2tb ssd[which the games runs on]
32gb ram
I7-3930k

the game looks gorgeous event with the clouds on, but like i said, i don't need my vision in game being impaired by clouds/fog when i'm already visually impaired

I wish they was mid ground compromise, I love the cloud effect especially in certain weather conditions when the cloud are low, makes for some strike visual but also some never wrecking moments due the atmosphere, as a result i leave the clouds on.

But it no mistaking the performance gain if turn them off, wish they was middle ground that left them on but maybe reduce the quality a bit, or fake it better in the distance, but have it real up close
