Changelogs
Version 2.02
Fixed an issue with vanilla force greet AI packages not functioning properly, which could result in broken quests.
Fixed an issue where NPCs with a filled head slot would still sometimes be forced to equip fur hoods.
Fixed an issue where Soggy Feet could become stuck on the player after swimming indoors. Disabling the mod, exiting the menus, re-enabling should now also remove it.
Version 2.01

Fixed an issue where linen cloaks weren't being added to leveled lists if enabled.
Fixed an issue where rain cloaks weren't getting checked against a list of heavily clipping armor before applying.
Version 2.0
Wet and Cold has been largely rebuilt to utilize more resource-efficient techniques.
The cloak spell, used to distribute all these effects to NPCs, has been replaced with a quest and alias system, which provides more control over the number and type of NPCs affected by this mod. It also makes it easier to keep effects from polling on NPCs unless the conditions are right thereby reducing resource consumption.
In an effort to streamline the mod, the following features have been removed: heat source detection, steam effect, snowshoes and umbrellas.
Added new rain cloaks, fur cloaks and fur hoods created specifically for Wet and Cold by volvaga0. Fur Hoods HD removed.
Added option to add equipment to leveled lists. There is a chance you will be able to encounter items specific to and distributed by Wet and Cold at general goods merchants and inside house containers.
Added a summer mode that disables all cold-related features.
Face Cover slots no longer use the circlet slot and instead use slot 44. They should also be more commonly worn in the cold.
Monk hoods have been made playable and can now be seen worn by NPCs as part of Rain Gear.
Alternate fur-lined mage hoods have been made playable and can now be seen worn by NPCs as part of Cold Gear.
Sabre Gear and Frankdema backpacks removed. Wet and Cold will now distribute Campfire's backpacks if Campfire is installed.
All knapsacks have been repositioned lower on the body.
Go Home: Should no longer bug out and force NPCs to stay indoors indefinitely. NPCs will also now have dialogue options indicating that they're under the effects of Go Home.
Snowy effect brightness reduced.
Cloak equipment now checks against a list of heavily clipping armor before applying.

Umbrellas added to Rain Gear courtesy of seanbonaker from Umbrella. Civilian NPCs in cities have a chance to equip them in place of hoods.

Survival Gear enabled for regions outside of Skyrim.
Added cold breath support for lurkers, werebears, boars and rieklings.
Update interval and shelter detection performance options added to the MCM. Survival Gear can now be configured further.
Dead bodies will now become covered in a light snowy effect regardless of whether it's snowing.
Warlocks and necromancers will no longer equip backpacks.

Fixed bald vampire issue with one of the rain hoods.
Miraak cultists should no longer be affected by Go Home.
Removed save and reload requirement from the Ashes addon to help those who don't read stickies (and because it wasn't necessary anymore).

Added cold gear support for all Winter Is Coming plugins. Use whichever you wish.
Snowy: Snow will accumulate on hair and armor during a blizzard. Moving near a heat source will cause the snow to melt away--even with dead bodies.

Fixed MCM from resetting options to default if this mod is reconfigured by Frostfall 2.0.

Fixed drips not appearing if the player was moving for a period of time.
Increased mouth breath particle count and volume in snowy/coastal exteriors for humanoids. Cold interiors and night time tundra/marsh breaths remain the same.

Effects
Drips (2): Water drips from body parts during rain and after swimming.
Soggy Feet:A light splash sound effect and splash particles play from each footstep when it's raining and after swimming. Does not work on creatures.
Rain Blind: Rain drops will blind you periodically while looking up.
Breaths: Breathe out visible moisture from the nose and mouth in frigid regions (snowy/coastal) and less visible moisture in the tundra/marsh regions at night. Breaths from the nose appear in steady intervals while breaths from the mouth become visible while talking (NPCs only), running, sprinting or fighting. Creatures currently supported: giants, horses, dogs, huskies, wolves, bears, (Vale) sabrecats, falmer, werewolves/bears, trolls, dragons, cows, hagravens, lurkers, boars and rieklings. Breaths will not appear if the actor is a vampire.
Snowy: Snow will accumulate on hair and armor during snow fall. This effect will also appear over the whole body after swimming in a cold region.
Strong Winds: If caught in a blizzard (weather classification: snowy and wind speed > 0.5) you and all nearby NPCs will receive a 15% reduction in movement speed if out in the open. Wind sound volume has also been increased during a blizzard and in mountainous regions.
Blizzard Blind: Disabled by default for the player. Snow will blind you periodically during a blizzard. Keep your face down or move under a shelter to avoid. NPCs are blinded making it more difficult for them to detect targets.
Cold effects support for Dawnguard, Dragonborn(requires Wet and Cold - Ashes) and Wyrmstooth's creatures and locations.
Go Home
Rain: Civilian NPCs will return to their homes once it starts raining. Adults will walk briskly. Children will run. Argonians, beggars and working class NPCs will remain outdoors.
Blizzard: Most civilian NPCs will walk briskly to their homes when a blizzard starts.
If an NPC doesn't live nearby, he/she will go to an inn.
Gear [SKSE]
Rain: All NPCs except Argonians and beggars may equip hoods and cloaks during rain if their slots are free.
Cold: All NPCs except beggars may equip fur hoods, cloaks and gloves in cold regions if their slots are free. If Wet and Cold - Ashes is installed, they may also equip face covers. Equip chance of face covers depends on the time of day, weather conditions and if the NPC is a traveler. Due to their incredible resistance to the cold, Nords are more likely to equip their Cold Gear at night.
Survival: All NPCs except followers may equip backpacks while traveling outside of villages and cities if their slots are free. Leather knapsacks will auto-adjust to fur cloaks to prevent clipping upon unequipping/equipping.
Equipment specifically from Wet and Cold can only be found on NPCs. If SKSE and SkyUI are installed, you can add equipment to merchant leveled lists through the MCM.
Compatibility
Everything in this mod is applied dynamically so it should work with any NPC in any location (DLC, new lands, new villages, etc) except the cold features. While the cold features are also applied dynamically, mods or DLCs with new regions or creatures may need to be supported manually.

SKSE v1.6.5+: SKSE is only needed for the Gear functionality to work and configuration of this mod through SkyUI's MCM.
