Description:

Makes rain lighter in both heavy and light rain, making rain less straining for one’s eyes.

Compatible with all mods that don’t change rainy weather characteristics, specifically the rain_drizzle.sq and rain_storm.sq files in the truesky folder.

Mod works fine for ROME and Alexander, but not for BI campaign mode – explanation below:

This mod for BARBARIAN INVASION:

For unknown reasons, this mod is incompatible with BI campaign mode, because the game tries to load the descr_regions.txt file from the base ROME game when loading or starting a BI campaign, and that causes an error that makes the campaign unplayable, game will kick you back to the menu. If you want to use this mod in your BI campaign gameplay (and, as a consequence, in every other RR mode as well), you will need to manually paste the mod contents to your game files:

Mod folder: Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/885970/2762679245/truesky ← that’s the Lighter Rain mod directory, there are two files that make this mod work, they sit in the truesky folder: rain_drizzle.sq and rain_storm.sq

Game folder: Steam/steamapps/common/Total War ROME REMASTERED/share/data/truesky ← make a backup copy of these two files and copy-paste the rain_drizzle.sq and rain_storm.sq from the Lighter Rain/truesky mod directory to the truesky folder in the game directory.

And leave this mod OFF for your BI campaigns to avoid the loading error. Doing the manual workaround explained above will change your "default" files, so your rainy weather will be always different from vanilla as long as you use the files you pasted from the mod (= even when you turn off this mod), that’s why you really might want to make those backups file, even left as a copy in the truesky folder itself.
