Yeah it can be needed. Earth has its own cloud texture but procedural planets get their own generated ones, and procedural stuff is higher resolution than the solar system textures so people wanted to give the Earth a higher-res procedural cloud texture instead of the lower-quality Earth cloud texture.

@Aperson

It's the very first line in the bloody document...

Is this even needed anymore? The sim has a cloud feature that can be enabled/disabled. Does this do something else? Not sure I'm seeing a difference.

@sysmical there is no "Planet "Earth"

Found how to make it work:

1. Navigate to" C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\314650\2195219302".

2. Open "Procedural_clouds_Earth_without_Rodrigos_mod.pak". If you can't open the .pak file, open it as a ".rar" or ".zip" file.

3. Inside the file, navigate to "catalogs", "planets" and open "Earth.sc" with notepad, or whatever you have.

4. At the first line, add this:

Remove "Earth" {
ParentBody "Earth-Moon"
}

Then, where it says "Planet "Earth", change it to "Planet "Earth (Clouds)" or something like that, to make the game recognise it as a new planet.

5. Save the changes, in the notepad .sc file and the .rar or .zip file. Then, after closing everything, rename back the .rar or .zip file to its original format (.pak).

And there you go, open the game and it should work!
