borealisphoenix Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) We now have great weather effects in the game but, what puts me off my immersion is how the towns people walk around in the rain. I think an easy mod to make would be to have people either walk out of the rain into their homes or go under covering. Edit: someone was able to make people run in doors when a dragon came. if someone was to do the same thing with rain this would be a quick thing.

OblivionShatterStar Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That is actually a very brilliant idea. my favorite mods are those that make everything more realistic. i believe that you would have to script something like that. i've done some research on scripting with quest. but scripting character behaviors, im not sure if that's even possible. if anybody has any ideas on how to do it, i would love to hear about it.

thefinn Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Totally agree, also you cannot get under cover from the rain. When in whiterun it was pouring, I went to upgrade a piece of armor - the bench is under an awning - I was still being rained on under cover :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLeonhardt Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't really think people in Skyrim have as much of an aversion to rain as the rest of us. But still, I don't like it raining on me when I'm sitting in the entrance to a cave or under the awning of a building.What would also be neat would be having the people that don't go inside put on hoods or hats to cover their heads while they go about their business.Maybe have the ability to catch a cold if you're out in the rain for a long time. Lightning strikes can kill people or creatures during a severe thunderstorm. Hail can do constant damage if you're not wearing armor or a helmet.

Sanbru Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Good idea for a mod. I wouldn't mind if they added a get wet mod as well to this like they had in Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLeonhardt Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There already is a Get Wet mod for Skyrim.As an optional file with the WATER mod.http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borealisphoenix Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I never noticed the awnings issue until you mentioned it. I agree that the people of the land may not be extremely bothers by rain. They are rough and tough but if they had a choice between standing in the rain and taking a few steps to the left to get out of it, why wouldn't they. If I was at the neighborhood pool and it rained I get out of the rain. It's a safety issue. I could see a number of thing added to this mod as time passed. 1. New weather based on month of the year for every area. ( snow in the southern area. you would not need to worry about snow on the ground their if the snow doesn't "stick") 2. If people are using WIC or any other cloak mod...or not, the people could put on warmer clothes depending on the year. (as of right now their is no reason to care about the month in the game) 3. For the mod that makes cold weather lower your "exposer rating" time of the year would effect this amount to. 4. I like the idea of lightning. Even if it was a scripted effect done to trees or rocks for targeting. lightning rarely hits near someone. It is usually hitting somewhere far away in my experience. If a tree is hit have it set on fire for 30 seconds then put out by the rain. I am going to follow this mod idea. I love the idea and won't let it go. I would do it myself but I have not modded since Morrowind and that is a long time ago. If I can somehow get some help to learn this stuff again I'll make it otherwise I am hoping for a modder to come along and see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
