Actual Day-/Night times

Description
Note: as of the update for the weekend of 31-03-2024 the EU and some adjacent areas that use DST are back on SUMMER TIME, disabling any winter timezone mod is recommended.

---

This mod changes the day/night cycle to real world times. This affects the time the sun will rise or set.

It works by changing the defined day from midsummer to the Wednesday of the current week. So in winter you will have long nights and short days, and in summer the reverse.

I will try to keep it updated every weekend.

This only changes the time the sun rises and sets: I cannot change anything else like adding snow in winter.

Should be compatible* with every other mod, just make sure to place this one above (higher priority than) any graphics, map, or weather mods.
As long as the mod places roads and cities where they are supposed to be on the map sun times will be automatically correctly applied for where you're driving.

Recommended additional mods: the season mods by Grimes (https://grimesmods.wordpress.com/)

Please note that the game is on permanent daylight saving/summertime, even in winter. This means that the timezone transition between the Kaliningrad region and Poland and Lithuania will be incorrect in winter, as Russia doesn't have any Daylight savings.

I recommend playing with timezones disabled while summertime is not active or using this mod to set the default to winter time: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890055880

No, Grimes mods are texture replacers so you still can only use one of those at the time.

As in perfect world I would prefer that I would activate all Grimes mods - and this mod chooses which assets for textures and stuff would be used, but I don't even know on if that is possible or not - hence asked the question - beforehands :D

I understand the sequence - but question was - Does this mod allows me to enable all the Grimes mods at the same time - or was it meant that at any given time there should be only 1 of the Grimes mods active..

Put this mod ABOVE any of Grimes in the load order.

Or does it means that I shall active one of the mods - and not to forget to change the activated mod when the real-world season changes?
AssassinLV Mar 24 @ 12:50pm 
Question about compatibility with Grimes seasons mods - does it means that I can add and active all Grimes seasons - and this mod will chose which one shall be used?

Then it is another mod. This mod will work on anything from 1.40 upwards.
