Raid weathers perfect for 2560 x 1080. Rest in peace Oliver. The lighting is absolutely incredible. Running on a Nvidia 1050ti 4gb. Best weather mod ever created in my opinion. In memory of Oliver. For bringing back Skyrim se with this incredible mod
Rest in peace Oliver
Raid weathers was made for RAID as well, by Oliver too. Its the best way to play Skyrim if you want reasonable and believable detection for NPC's.
Stick raid up your butt boy mythical ages far better in every way lol bad taste
Your the only idiot in the comments section that thinks raid is so great
Did the creator of this mod pass away?
Dude, came for the comparison, stayed for the audiovisual masterpiece, amazing work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't even imagine the amount of effort that went into this. Just what I needed thanks
Vivid in a nutshell= "you wanna look at orange the whole time even when the sun aint out? I got you covered"
it's funny how the ones I've never heard of in my life are the most appealing to me
I forgot how absolutely mythical Mythical Ages was. Thank you so much for this video which allowed me to rekindle the flame!
:)
Mythical was the go to. Now I'll try raid or wander. Maybe even some aequinoctium
another wonderfully helpful video! i'd never heard of mythical ages but it has exactly the right look and feel for what i've been wanting.
This video is so helpful and is kind of a masterpiece of art at the same time. I've always been such a big fan of Azurite and never really realized how much blue it gives off compared to some of the others. There's a couple I've never even even heard of that looked awesome and plan of giving them a try asap. Thanks!
I struggle with it. Azurite is just so blue
Mythical ages is my favorite, Ive done testing of my own with several weather mods but something most people dont show is how the mods affect npcs apereance, and mythical because of how the light bounces over surfaces on that mod the skin of npcs really look like organic texture and not like plastic. for a true to life feel I think aequinoctium is the best just cranc up the contrast by 2 and reduce the brigtness by 2 with the display enhancement mod and you are set for a realistic look for the enviroments.
Well done comparaison, lovely made ! Thank you very much !
Great video with a tonne of visual information to digest. Thanks for creating this comparison!
Great comparison, it really helped me to choose my favorite, Cathedral Weathers
I love that this comes up as posted 4 days ago as I literally just spent 4 hours trying to research and try better weather mods...been using dawn for a long time
Amazing video and very helpull too!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this. This is super helpful
Thank you for making this. really helpful in trying to decide which weather mod to go with in my new playthrough.
Great :)
Great job, finally someone made another complete video mine was a bit outdated and didn't have time to make a new one!
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
really was looking for this kind of video! wish the music wasnt so loud though so i could hear the rain ambient sound comparisons better :P
This is helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this, excellent comparison, excellent video... mad props :)
I love Cathedral because of all the blues and purples and pinks it adds. It’s so unique and it really is beautiful without straying from the cold feeling of Skyrim. My only complaint is that the storms are quite weak.
I was thinking of trying Vivid next. It’s warmer than what I’d normally like for Skyrim, but it looks really pretty and I just want my next game to be pretty. It looks to have great stormy weather too.
Hey if you're on xbox someone made a mod capable of mixing true storms with any single lighting or weather mod. So you can have the good lighting with powerful and strong looking storms now
I use vivid and I really love it so far :)
Nice! Hmmm. Tested Obsidian and cathedral. I think nat, Scandinavian and haze looked good as well overall.
Thanks for doing this, I love these comparison videos. The fog one was interesting - some of the weathers don't actually HAVE any fog beyond ground mist. Vanilla sure looks better than I remembered too.
I think we tend to remember 2011 skyrim when thinking about how vanilla looked
The fog of the «Dolomite Weathers» is perfect!
I dont usually have time to mod Skyrim again but watching your videos is so relaxing and lovley, keep up with the great job
thank you , my guy. you are a lifesaver
wow this helped me a ton thank you
Came for a comparasion, stayed for the Vibes. You got a easy sub my guy
Cot looks kinda the jack of all trades. Id love if this vid had also fps counter somewhere so we can figure wich is the less perf taxing, I believe all look good the best imo is the less demanding. Nice vid!
You forgot to add a general look of environments at night
but still awesome vid
Is it Azurite II ? Thx for the vid, always useful ! and a bit relaxing too :)
A suggestion for next comparisons - make each weather span over 10 seconds so you can easily fast forward with youtube to compare, as it fast forward by 10 second.
Great comparison! It's Mythical Ages for me! :)
Amazing how just the weather mods can completely change the look of the game without the use of ENB or Reshade. From this video I decided on Cathedral Weathers because I really like the blue/green shade it adds to the game.
this video was great you have earned my subscription :]
i'm up for mythical age, this sound very wild !!
Great and hard work!
For superb clarity in Skyrim VR use Vivid Weather's and The Sharper Eye mod.
I've used Obsidian + True Storms for so long, but I might just be switching based off of these comparisons. The fog comparison was extremely useful
Dolomite has always had that cinematic look even without an ENB, and Northern Saga was just pleasant to look at all round. Would love to see more ENB love for those..
This convinced me of northern saga. Its the most colorful and vibrant while still having an edge to it.
I use azurite 2 because it looks amazing and I can actually see at night
Great video 🤘
Thank you!
Climates of Tamriel is so extremely good, sadly my favorite ENB preset (Rudy) is incompatible/ not intended to be used with CoT :(
But its still a great Video and it the comparison is the best if seen on TH-cam so far, keep it up!
Hey, just wanted to chime in and say that your videos are the best mod comparisons, you show lots of mods and have very nice editing. If I can offer some advice though, it would be to try to have the best visibility the scenario allows, that is to say well illuminated scenes and avoiding effects like rain and other enviromental factors (the bitrate suffers too much and it doesn't look good on youtube).
Thanks for the tips :)
There is many to choose from and it’s so hard to decide. I guess I’m going to trial most of them out. In the end I seem to to fall in love with Autumn Skies. Hmm might try it. I like Dawn v2 but it seems to cause more crashes.
ty for these
In these comparings, I think Cathedral and mythical is best (in my opinion). But I miss a comparing against Solas weather :) I have never seen a comparing against solas weather system. I hope you could add that or make a new one :)
I love mythic for it does not make the game feel overly fantasy and it still adds dramatic colorful weathers that are not too bright or dark. And they bring back a similar feel to OG Skyrim weathers.
(the only things I don't like with mythic)
- level of bloom
- the nights
these can be fixed with mods easily.
They all have their pros and cons but my choice are: Dolomite (love the slow snowflakes), Mythical Age and Northern Saga.
Second choice: NAT, Raid, Wander, Climates and Vivid.
I need to test dolomite, azurite, and wander when I get home
Wander is the best overall. If it had heavier rain and an aurora like mythical ages it would be perfect.
In my personal opinion, what weather mod may suit you most depends greatly on whether or not you use an ENB. If you are not using one, Obsidian, Azurite and NAT (the old one) are definitely the best imo. However, if you are using an ENB, NAT.III (the new one) probably has the best selection of ENBs. Of course, other weather mods all have at least a couple of great ENBs but other than NAT.III, the ones that stand out the most for me are Obsidian, Azurite, Cathedral, SOLAS and NLA. If you are going to use an ENB, you can always opt for vanilla weathers because there are a few great ENBs that uses vanilla weathers like Ruvaak Dahmaan.
Nat 3 is full of bloat and feature creep and tries to do way too much in an attempt to replace a bunch of other mods. It also completely messes up the soul cairn by adding the sun moon and stars to the sky box which makes it incompatible with great mods like Praedys soul cairn.
If that's your thing then great but people should be aware of how much it changes before they commit to using it. Especially if you just want a weather mod not a weather fire lighting 6 in 1 shampoo and conditioner style one
"Autumn Skies" and "Northern Saga" were the choices for me , but nightsky+rain are the most importants for me and Autumn literally beaten everyother in those two.
Azurite ~ absolute Best raindrops on water (very big deal for me) & my fav aurora & night sky!!! Incredible video & easy new sub from me!
I’ve tried most of these but I’m sticking with Dolomite. It’s my favorite.
Great video, i was wondering what lighting mod you're using because your game look insane even without ENB and weather mod ?
goodjob my bro
oh my dog! that thumbnail tho💀
Thank you for comparison!
Which water mod had you used in this video? Looks amazing!
Would love it if someone could add the blue hues of Cathedral to Aequinoctium's greens and yellows. That would be perfect... for me.
TY i love you
Nice Bro ❤❤
I'm looking for one suited best with community shaders something with a mark dark theme appearance the game lighting and environment just seems to bright to me and i want it to be more darker especially in some places where i added tree mods and all more of a realistic feel basically
Try obsidian
@@imlookingformyhome6025 alright thank you
Both snow and rain looks awesome in vivid. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get only the snow and the rain from it? (I’m using Azurite)
These are beautiful mods yes, but thank you for showing me the beautiful artist Scott Buckley. I couldn't help myself, this whole video I'm like "damn this is amazing music. Who is this?"
Northern saga got that mexico filter
Are you going to do a landscape parallax comparison? thanks
Why not :)
Mythical Wonders - A Weather & Sky Bundle by GamerPauly
I feel like ive been using Obsidian for like 6 years now but never had a reason to switch, even Jacopo's newest weather Azurite just doesnt look good to me.
Vivid FTW
Been having a weird glitch in snow areas at night using vivid and azurite. The snow becomes extremely white and saturated. No shadows just pure white.
Any idea on what this could be?
Or is it a know issue that can be fixed somehow?
Right?? I've struggled with that too. I find if you get a good VFX or display setting mod from the nexus like Dynamic Display Settings it helps adjust things a lot, I think it's a contrast or maybe even texture problem thanks to the ENB's intense lighting. I've had it be both too bright and too dark in places while using Obsidian Weathers, stuff goes almost totally black or white. You could always try bumping down a level of the ENB (like how some have a light, high, ultra) and it can fix a bunch of texture screw ups like that! I also find if you mess around with your contrast/brightness settings through either your game or your monitor itself it helps a lot, you can also adjust brightness and contrast settings for specific apps and games if you're on windows through "adaptive brightness control" in your display settings. I'm sure theres gotta be some more elaborate display adjusting mod for us hiding out there!
Did you use azurite weathers 2 or 1?
I use azurite weatherman because I have a real potato computer. I don't need enb. It looks more realistic than in this video.
My only problem is that there is no parallax. My computer is having problems even with community shader.
Hi, it’s my first time modding on PC as I used to play console but I upgraded to a PC….. I have a 3090 Nvidia graphic card, am I going to have a problem running any of these mods you showcased?
With that 3090 definitely not :)
Wander or myth IMO
Which of these works on the PS5?
For me: autumn
what is the tree mod used in the video?
Nature of the Wild Lands
Modding skyrim is nightmare, too many mods do same thing
does anyone notice that vanilla weather have more volumetric light 😅😅 with is better
precioso
Haze Weathers 2 and Autumn are the bests
I have a PS3 with mods in Skyrim. Who else?
Dolomite & Wander far from the rest imo
تنها پیجی که درست مقایسه میکنه. نباید انقدر کم ویو بخوره.
How do you not have Dawn in that comparison?
Dawn blows everyone of them out of the water. Maybe that why you didn’t add it?
What is dawn
this is literally fake for cathedral
i tested the cathedral and walkign around whiterun, its so dark AF! its like hiding the bad textures.
