A Note About Weather/Lighting Mods:

If you do not like RWL, the three best alternatives are Nevada Skies, Clarity, and Yellow Goodbye. Nevada Skies is the most similar to RWL Redesigned, featuring completely reworked vanilla/DLC weathers and all new weather effects like rain/thunderstorms, as well as an MCM to tweak it all. However, there may be some performance loss and bugs. Clarity is a simple tint remover and Yellow Goodbye is based off of Clarity, but still retains a little bit of the vanilla tint. Clarity and Yellow Goodbye should have no bugs or performance loss.
