Compatibility

____________________________

Compatible with everything except weather mods

Not compatible with mods that make nights darker unless they're made specifically for Obsidian Weathers (these are fundamentally weather mods)

Not compatible with storm mods without a patch (these are weather mods)

Uses only vanilla weather ID's ensuring full compatibility with mods like Frostfall, Wet and Cold, Wonders of Weather, and Beyond Skyrim

Seasonal weathers require modification to region records and thus requires a patch for audio overhauls that add new region sounds

Compatible with all interior lighting overhauls (ie, ELE, RS, ELFX, RLO). Minor adjustments made to torches and magelight to balance darker nights.
