About this mod
Removes cloudless sunny days, changes weather to mostly rain and fog with occasional pollution and sandstorms, as well as rare sun through breaks in the clouds only lasting a few minutes.
- Permissions and credits
All credit goes to rmk1234 for developing the mod this is based on, Weather Probability Rebalance.
If you want normal weather as the devs intended but with vastly improved weather cycles and more variety, you should install that mod instead. You should also check it out if you like this mod.
Weather Probability Rebalance - Climate Change Edition
What this mod does
This mod is an edited version of the Weather Probability Rebalance mod, inspired by Climate Change mod.
I always felt that the sunny weather doesn't fit the aesthetic of Cyberpunk's dystopian and... well... cyberpunk vision of the future. I used to use the excellent Climate Change mod which works quite well but what I really wanted was a mod that only cycles between more Blade-Runner-y type weathers.
This mod cycles between rain, fog, pollution, etc. with no sunny days at all. Sunny and light clouds have been replaced by fog or rain. Scattered clouds with sunshine does happen, but it's rare. Most of the time it's basically going to be dystopian af.
How this mod works
For a great description of how Cyberpunk 2077 handles weather after patch 1.5, please check the Weather Probability Rebalance page as rmk1234's explanation is excellent. For Compatibility and Troubleshooting please also refer to rmk1234's excellent mod page which should explain everything you need to know, as both these mods function in essentially the same way.
Installation
Due to issues with weather cycling and bugs built into the engine that can halt the cycles, you need to trigger the blade runner easter egg before installation:
Before you install:
To test if the mod is working, I like to go to my apartment, make a manual save and skip time repeatedly for days to see how the weather cycles, then load my manual save once I can see it's working.
Compatibility
In the screenshots the only graphics mod I am using is the E3 2018 lighting mod and almost every mod should be compatible as long it doesn't modify cp2077_master_env_nge_v002.env.
Known issues and wanted features
Enjoy!

Installation
Due to issues with weather cycling and bugs built into the engine that can halt the cycles, you need to trigger the blade runner easter egg before installation:
Before you install:
- Trigger the blade runner easter egg
- Leave the building fully
- Save your game
- Quit
- Install
- Load only that save and continue your game
To test if the mod is working, I like to go to my apartment, make a manual save and skip time repeatedly for days to see how the weather cycles, then load my manual save once I can see it's working.

Known issues and wanted features
- Having to trigger the blade runner easter egg for installation is annoying but I don't think there's anything that can be done about it. Maybe a script to force a weather change on first save load after install?
- Rain in Badlands - would like to change this to a mix of pollution and sandstorms, but not sure how.
- Fog/rain obscures some distant objects NPCs point out in dialogue during cutscenes. Not really an issue and not sure what to do about it.
- If someone can be bothered to travel to all of the locations shown on the load screens and re-take nice screenshots with rain and fog I'll mod them in to replace the existing sunny load screens :)
Enjoy!
