Cities: Skylines II

Description

Tired of setting time and weather options in dev tools everytime you open the game? This is the mod for you. Override time and weather settings and keep it saved on game reload or save reload.

How to use it:

You can change many settings here, and it's a very similar process to the developer tools mode but here, even when you close the game, your weather settings will stay, and you don't have to set them all over again.

The icon to enable the tool is in the top right corner of the game. You can also set a custom keyboard key to open the weather and time panel in the mod settings.

Here are the settings you can change now:

Profiles

• Create time and weather profiles that can be changed with a hotkey set in game preferences or using the panel.

• Profiles that are created are saved as a json file in pathToYourUser\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\ModsSettings\TimeWeatherAnarchy\Profiles They can be copied and shared with other people. Just paste the profile and reload your save.

• By default, all your current preferences will be copied to the Main profile if you already have the mod installed.

• If you delete all the profiles in the file explorer, a new main profile will be created inside the game.

Time Settings

• Default: It will use the default time from your save.

• Day: This sets the time to 12PM. It will also enable the day of the year slider so you can change the day to match the day time you need.

• Night: This sets the time to 22PM. Like the Day setting, this also enables the day of the year slider so you can change the day to match the nighttime you need.

• Custom: You can select on a slider the custom time you need your game. It also enables the day of the year slider.

Weather Settings

• Default: It will use the default season from your save.

• Spring: Sets the season to spring.

• Summer: Sets the season to summer.

• Fall: Sets the season to fall.

• Winter: Sets the season to winter.

• Custom: You can set a custom season selecting the value from the slider.

Enable custom Temperature

• Select the slider the temperature you want. If you change the temperature to a value bellow zero, you game can start snowing even if your season is not winter. Change this if you want to force snow combined with custom precipitation, otherwise, keep it disabled.

Enable Custom Precipitation

• Select the slider the value for how much precipitation is falling. If the temperature is bellow zero, it will be snow, if not, it will be rain.

Enable Custom Clouds

• Select the slider the value for clouds in the sky. If you don't see any clouds, check if you have clouds enabled on your game graphics settings.

Enable Custom Aurora

• Select the slider the value for the northern lights when your game is at night.

All the weather and time changes here are only visual just like the dev tools. This won't impact your gameplay.

This mod can conflict with other weather mods like WeatherPlus, NiceWeather DayNight Switch, so I recommend you disable it if you want to use this to avoid any crashes. This will not conflict with Lumina but Lumina's time of day slider must be DISABLED.
