Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So I'm not sure what happened in the last month but I used to get an Aurora Borealis often and yet, I never get them anymore. I had a save that was during an Aurora Borealis and when I loaded it up, the Aurora Borealis isn't there anymore. What I'd like to know is if anyone has found out where the values are that decide when an Aurora Borealis appears and if they know, could you let me know so that I could tweak the rate at which it appears. At the moment, it is impossible to get an Aurora to appear and I don't know if it's got something to do with the current ENB I'm using or what but I'll need to know what script decides when an Aurora Borealis appears so that I can monkey with it.

AlexanderJVelicky Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That's decided in the weather tab of the weather regions under World > Regions (Select Tamriel). It's normally an assortment of rain/storm/clear/cloudy/fog, then a clear and cloudy that both support the Aurora, marked by _A. There's normally a 5% chance for each of the 2 weather types to show, meaning that 10% of the nights have it. It sounds like a mod altered that or removed them somehow. Do you have an weather or sky altering mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Yep, something is up. I went through the CK and the option for Aurora is absent from every weather dialog. I'm not sure what is going on. I'll continue to try to hash it out but any ideas from anyone would be very welcome. I also turned off all my mods with no success. If I think about it, I haven't seen an Aurora since I installed the beta build 1.6. Any idea how to add them back in? Under the general tab in the weather effects, the aurora option isn't there unlike what is shown in the CK weather page. However, there is an aurora option under effects but I can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone give me some advice how to get the Aurora's occuring again and maybe at a greater chance than it is in vanilla?

Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Also, my mods I'm using now are EDWS, Imaginator, ENB .0113, enhanced Sky, SKSE and several others (But the others I'm not mentioning because they cannot effect the sky.) and I'm at version 1.6. I might try reverting to a previous version if no one can figure out a way to return Auroras to my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralFire Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The CK would only show what your mods are doing if you loaded all of your mods - you checked all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) The CK would only show what your mods are doing if you loaded all of your mods - you checked all of them? Yes and I also uninstalled them all and then examined the weather dialogue again within the main archive. Edit: Okay, I finally did a work around in the CK to finally get the weather effects tab to appear. However, I'm at a loss once again as how to get the Aurora to appear. Will I have to go through each region one by one and weather data types? Edited June 26, 2012 by Soulece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Uggh.... No matter what I try, I can't seem to get the Auroras to appear. I found that the SkyrimClimate was set to Cloudy with 100 chance so I reduced the cloudy to 10 and added the other weather effects and they all work perfectly however, still no auroras. I made a plugin and changed the SkyrimClimate to only use weather effects that end with _A which are supposed to denominate Auroras and they still don't appear. However, it did start to vary the weather effects which had been missing frankly. The same time the Auroras disappeared were the same times that the overcast night was always the same cloudy. I'm not sure how to get the Auroras to appear now that even setting them to only _A profiles didn't work. Edited June 26, 2012 by Soulece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulece Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Ah ha! I figured it out. I wasn't doing anything wrong at all and here I was thinking I didn't know as much about modding as I thought I did. What happened is that somehow the ENB customizer I was using had Aurora Borealis set to 0 intensity. I don't even remember having the ENB customizer still on my computer. Oh well, at any rate, it was overriding the .esm and my .esp settings no matter what I did. All fixed now. Thanks however for letting me know exactly where the Aurora settings are now. Still getting used to the new features compared to the CK. Edited June 26, 2012 by Soulece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
