The mod shouldn't be behind a paywall. I remembered seeing it without subbing as a Patreon. I opened both mods to compare. Good news. They did completely different stuff. Yours edited region tunings while Carl's did not. His mod is different with custom interactions with edits to a zone lot trait (Great Soil).

I did not notice anything conflicting between both mods. They are not in the Overrides folder because neither gave me the impression they will override each other.

That's great! I thought that since it had features like making weather always sunny, it would edit region tunings.

Hi!
Thank you for the updates!!
It’s not conflicting and work great. I love that.

I wonder if it’s possible to make the seasons longer, what do you think?

The file is dated March 6, shouldn't it be dated June?

Do you think there's any chance this mod could be updated for the moon phases?

I'd love it if the moon phase lighting was more severe. Much darker on new moon, much brighter on full moon? The difference right now isn't very severe.

I think it's possible, but haven't tried yet.

Interesting suggestion, but that would be outside the scope of this mod, and would not be realistic. The moon isn't very good at reflecting light at Earth even in its full moon phase, so real-life differences would be very slight anyway.

Snow not working in San Sequoia. Does not accumulate. Other worlds are fine. Latest everything etc.

This might be because San Sequoia does not have snow textures; it's strange that it is the only world to not have them. I'll change the description to clarify that.
Snow should not happen in San Sequoia naturally though, whether you use vanilla weather or my other mod, WRO.

I was actually having it happen in all worlds that don't have snow set up in vanilla. To get it to work I found out thru trial and error, either reload the game or visit a lot OUTSIDE the current world and then go back. If you loaded the game with snow already running it would be fine. Its something to do with the loading code. It needs to reset that to load snow properly in worlds that don't usually have snow. So if you are in a world that doesn't usually have snow and suddenly weather changes to snow, only the lot accumulates, until you reload the world file not the zone itself.

I have a problem going on. My seasons are 28 days long, and I noticed that autumn does not change in any way over time (the leaves do not turn yellow or droop at all). Is there any solution to this problem?

I see, will fix this in the next update; small question though, do you have snow in San Sequoia or any of those other worlds without the weather machine or a console command? If you have snow in these worlds naturally that's a problem.

Well this would have been a widespread issue if it was on my end. Are you sure you're far enough along the season?

I simply cannot fully enjoy my game without the weather overhaul and seasonal changes mod. I've been using your mods for close to 3 years now I believe. thank you for all that you do
