Rain through the roof
Any way to stop it? Also best mods for building?
I have the cabin building mod but the rain goes right through… same with others…

Take it up with the mod creators for not putting the weather collision on the roof.

Rain seems to go through the Far harbor roofs too. Not played with other roofs in ages.

Yeah onyl certain pieces "block" it and I cannot remember which ones they are other than like the Vault pieces above ground.

About 99 out of 100 roofs including vanilla do not block rain. It's a fix that has been asked for on a lot. There are a good number of fix mods, I'd start by checking the specific piece's mod you are using (for instance that cabin) (which I should also look at since I have it) and check the REQUIREMENTS on the nexus list. If there are "require this mod" listed below any of the DLC and on- or off-site additional things, those are mods TO the mod. So, fixes, additions, changes, etc, that others have made to improve the functionality of any mod will be listed below the things that make the individual mod possible.

So if there is a fix for any specifically-created Nexus mod, it'd be there on that portion of the REQUIREMENTS tab. I wouldn't hold my breath. Thing is, it's *visual*, most likely, and won't really be a problem for settlers thinking they're being rained on.

In vanilla it can be glitchy, I use the Far Harbour barn roofs mainly in other areas just wood floors, sometimes the rain just comes through especially when you do a new build as the game has not updated for it, after that the roofs work fine, one thing I don't have on is wetness, maybe that might help. Cant comment on mods as don't have any for building.

I don't believe the wetness setting does anything about this feature. That's more for the laggy puddles and reflectivity issues you might see with the feature turned on.

No, this is a specific-to-the-model/framework that a lot of modders just forget to implement. I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the newer ones I have working correctly, but most don't.

I don't get rain coming down thru a covered building. I mainly use the Barn Roofs when I do cover a building. I have Wetness off. Rain Occlusion on. I see rain falling outside and hitting the ground and creating ripples when it hits puddles. Also the rain drops will appear on the visor of Power Armor when I am in them.

But several buildings do not let rain fall thru the roofs. A couple examples is the Slog house and Covenant houses. Red Rocket inside the building and under the Arch. There are a lot more. I don't use any mods. I don't know why you guys are having issues with seeing it rain in a covered building.

You answered your own question.

If the creator sets it, yeah, all the mods would be great if only.
Xenon The Noble Mar 22, 2024 @ 8:32pm 
So.... what's the name of the mod that fixes roofs so that they stop rain?

You don't need a mod to fix the roofs leaking. Sounds like it is mods which can cause it. From reading the responses.

Try clicking off Wetness and Rain Occlusion On. I have not ever had any issues with the roofs leaking after I did that a very long time ago.
