At least, it looks more realistic to me, perhaps in reality weapons would turn completely yellow and brown over time, but it looks like garbage. This mod replaces those textures with a more realistic look. This improves the atmosphere in a great way.ĭid you ever notice how Pipe-Rifles and such were completely yellow/brownish? It looked pretty jarring. I had never noticed before how washed out and surreal the lighting was in vanilla interiors until I turned this mod off. This is one of those mods where upon experiencing it, you're baffled how poor vanilla was in retrospect. It was a hard decision to say this isn't essential because the impact isn't that big, but I do highly recommend it. Also adds new, better animations when rainfall interacts with water and such. Makes water look significantly better, especially in motion. Also works with True Storms to add more nuance to the weather types. It is a very nuanced tweak to clouds and fogs, that is more noticeable when it is in movement while playing. If anything, I'm impressed by this mod's restraint to not overdo anything. This fits exceptionally well with Survival Mode. You will end up having a reason to take cover inside and find a bed to sleep in to wait it out. My favorite, the radiation storm, reduces visibility and makes you take constant radiation damage if you're out and about. It also adds several new types of weather that, beyond just looking awesome, also affect gameplay. True Storms: Wasteland Edition - EssentialĪlters existing weather conditions like rain and thunder to be more realistic, noticeable and impactful. If I have marked it with 'Essential' it indicates that this feature either should have been in the game to begin with, or is impossible to imagine playing the game without it. There is an absolute fantastic game in here, evidenced by the fact that it outperformed Skyrim, it just needs some help getting out. It wasn't the push forward that I expected. Ultimately, the game felt bare bones and stripped to me. Even worse, some basic things that were present in Fallout 3 didn't even make it in here. Features, systems and concepts that I felt needed to be in here were nowhere to be found. When I was 10 hours in or so, I started getting very disappointed by some design decisions, or straight up lack thereof. When Fallout 4 launched I thought it was amazing. I've been known to write too much redundant nonsense, so I'll try to keep the descriptions short and concise this time.
