Description:

It is master climate control mod for all your climate alternation needs.

Tired of never ending summer or winter?
Want to see how temperature changes as time pass?
Want to fight wet floods and hot droughts?
Let try this mod then!

It does not alter themes… so you will get -50C green grass on Boreal map and +40C with snow covered forests on Winter maps

In mod options you can choose one of predefined climate settings:
North Pole, South Pole
Planet Mars (try if you want experience extremes of day/night temperature change)
London, Seville, Stockholm, Helsinki, Kraków, Cairo, Pyongyang, Moscow, Beijing, São Paulo, New York and more to come

There is also one "special" preset which tries to preserve default game climate:

  • "Default climate settings" – will use vanilla-like weather settings for currently loaded map theme.

Other features
  • Choose what datatime should be taken for CC calculations
  • Chirp weather forecast
  • Snow Dumps (any SnowDumpAI building) melts snow faster when hot
  • Climate Control panel which allow for immediate changes to current weather settings
  • Rainfall creates water – when ground is soaked rainfall may create water ponds across map
  • Precipitation alter water sources – water target level of sources on map will alter in response to current precipitation

Mod can be turned on/off at will as it does not inject stuff into save game.
NOTE: This mean that you can LOAD your savegame without that mod but its internal state may be affected.

Plans for future
  • Features
    • Events-driven climate
    • Custom presets introduction
    • New default climate preset produce four distinctive seasons.
    • Better forecasts
    • Introduction of weather display panel (WDP) which will become turnable from options menu (checkbox option)
    • Current Climate control panel (CCP) will become turnable from options menu (checkbox option)
  • DLCs
    • Ground water simulation (spawning and removal of in map water)
    • Nation-thematic presets
  • Other plans
    • Make new screenshots and some video for this mod page
    • More climate presets (Tell me which cities/region you want!)
    • More map presets (Tell me which maps you want!)
    • Terrain overlay map for wind speed
    • Find a way to replace environmental textures!

DLC compatibility

Do not need any DLC (Snowfall, After Dark, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, etc.) although some options may not work as intended.

Dependencies

MOD compatibility
  • Harmony using mods

    Due to using Harmony any mod using Harmony binding to following methods may be incompatibile:

    • WeatherManager.SimulationStepImpl
    • SimulationManager.Update

  • FPS Booster

    Hard incompatibility – FPS Booster removes Harmony overriding SimulationManager.Update method.
    Instead use: Mini FPS Booster

  • Rush Hour

    Supports time used by Rush Hour mod. In order to get it working you need to select "Rush hour" in combo in this mod options menu.

  • Real Time

    Using Real Time will heavily affect experience from using CC due:

    • overriding day length and thus break immersive sun rise/sun set depending on preset
    • slowing down game time makes most of weather simulation like it would never existed (it relies on game time and that have slow pacing with RT)

    I am not saying that I will not make something to make it more reasonable to play with it… but just not today.

  • Time Warp

    Enabling "Alter day length" option can cause issues with proper city lighting (sun cycle related lightning).

    *As far as I can see this cannot be fixed due the way Time Warp mod assign current time (dayTimeOffsetFrames) into SimulationManager.*

  • Ultimate Eyecandy

    As its "time of day" related code is inherited from Time Warp having this mod enabled (even with time of day change option disabled) will cause issues related to city lighting (presets sun position, manual solar time change).
