Weather Changes

[Browner301]

Someone needs to create a mod for changing weather conditions (eg. winter snow fall, Terenchal down pour, Wind storm ect...

This is California, Arizona and Nevada. With a few exceptions, this is the desert. So seeing snow or a torrential downpour would be pretty weird!

Wind would be great, but it seems like it might be hard to do.

Ok...stop!.have you ever seen the Nevada sierra mountains in winter? Ever looked up the history of Donner pass, and the tragedy of The Donner Party? Ever been to Flagstaff in Jan? And let's not even talk about monsoon season in Arizona where some of the most intense ,wind rain, and lightening storms occur..I have I have lived in these places. Now to answer your question op....there are some great weather mods, and snow mods, winter mod v2 and frosty...as well as other seasonal mods....and qith sound fixes pack and winter mod...you get it all. Google it and look on facebook, their are a bunch of ATS groups, vipers customs and American modding, are a few and where I posted the updated winter mod.

With the current implementation of weather, you can only have one or the other. Not multiple. People have been begging for SCS to add in different weather in the game, but I think they may have good reasons for not looking into it still.

My theory might be that they haven't put in anything to do it by time of year (key thing because the game itself doesn't keep track of years for instance) and region. Since certain areas usually don't get snow and still rain. Others do get regular snowfall periodically.

Another thing, there is no wind simulated currently, so not quite possible; for the time being currently, it falls into the same mechanics as weather.

In the meantime, you can follow Crash's advice since there are winter mods available to download if you want to have snow instead of rain. Keep in mind, it'll snow everywhere you go if the game determines it should be raining at that point.

To add.....I will put winter mod active...when I'm in areas that commonly get snow in winter, or could, and I remove it in vegas , phx, LA. .etc, usually at bed time, put it in set rain to max, sleep and wake up to snow....leave reno, head over to eureka, and south, maybe hit Ukiah and take it out. I want to add the winter mod I had updated and posted, now works best with realistic graphics mod and alternative hdr for realistic mod, which are on steam.

Yep, the mountains in California, as well as the Flagstaff area in Arizona, would be two of the most obvious "exceptions" mentioned in my original comment.

Reading is fundamental.

I'm glad you schooled me about those "Nevada sierra mountains" and the "lightening" storms in Arizona, though.

map sectors and climate sectors are possible, but gonna take time to implement it correctly.
