Changing Weather: How to find the World Region an Exterior Location is in

I've been changing the Weather for specific World Regions, since that is where the Weather all seems to be controlled. This works perfectly - for example, changing the "Weather" setting(s) in the Region "WhiterunWorld->WeatherWhiteRun" so it's always Sunny in Whiterun. My issue is for Locations where it's not apparent which World Region they belong to.

 

Specifically, I'm trying to change the weather for the LakeView Manor exterior. How can I identify which World Region that Exterior belongs to?

 

LakeView Manor Exterior Location is: Tamriel -> BYOHouse1Location

 

In the Region Editor, under "Tamriel", I don't see the Weather Region that applies. None of them start with "BYO". Here are the choices starting with "Weather":

I tried the "WeatherFalkreath", but it did not affect the Weather at LakeView Manor.

 

Is there an easy way to check a setting for the Location and determine the World Region?

 

Thanks...

This is quite easy to do. I don't have Hearthfires installed, but a quick Google search showed me the location of Lakeview Manor.

 

Find the location in the Creation Kit and note the cell number. This turned out to be -3,-17

Open the region editor and select Tamriel (if not selected). If you move the mouse around on the square grid area, you will see the corresponding cell displayed in the bottom left corner. (yellow rectangle)

 

Find the cell -3,-17 (you may have to drag the grid with the middle mouse button) and place it roughly in the centre. (yellow rectangle)

Zoom out a bit (scroll wheel)

Now select each Weather Region until you find the one that surrounds the cell. (red region border)

 

In this case, it was 'WeatherPineForest' (blue rectangle)

 

Click on the 'Weather' tab and see settings. (click image below for full size)
