Snowy Weather Mod 1.0

Environment Config


Description


Mod designed for those who want immersive snowy weather cycles in their game. Requires Christmas in Singleplayer Mod to look properly. I have pulled any RAIN, THUNDER and OVERCAST weathers from the cycles, added SNOWLIGHT, XMAS and BLIZZARD weather types instead. Had to avoid adding standard SNOW weather, because it's broken by R* (have no idea why), instead made some tweaks to SNOWLIGHT and XMAS to compensate and be more winter-like.

Technically you can use this in vanilla game without Snow Mod, but it will look very awkward, your choice.

Requirements:
- Open IV
- Christmas in Singleplayer

Installation:
- Use OpenIV and navigate to your *GTA V Root Folder*\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5
- Replace weather.xml file

To uninstall, just navigate to the same path and remove or replace weather.xml file with original.

Known issues:
Blizzard weather can be very bright during night, and in some areas has extreme fog (around mountains mostly) so you cannot see anything 1-2 meters ahead. To address this, I added only 2 BLIZZARD weathers to rotation and set lowest time duration, to make sure it won't drag for too long and to have pretty low trigger chance. Still, has some flavor as it is. See screenshot #5 (extreme fog) and screenshot #6 (night blizzard in city) for comparison.
