Description:

This mod changes the day/night cycle to real world times. This affects the time the sun will rise or set.

It works by changing the defined day from midsummer to the Wednesday of the current week. So in winter you will have long nights and short days, and in summer the reverse.

I will try to keep it updated every weekend.

This only changes the time the sun rises and sets: I cannot change anything else like adding snow in winter.

Should be compatible* with every other mod, just make sure to place this one above (higher priority than) any graphics, map, or weather mods.
As long as the mod places roads and cities where they are supposed to be on the map sun times will be automatically correctly applied for where you’re driving.

Recommended additional mods: the season mods by Grimes (https://grimesmods.wordpress.com/)

Please note that the game is on permanent daylight saving/summertime, even in winter. This means that the timezone transition between the Kaliningrad region and Poland and Lithuania will be incorrect in winter, as Russia doesn’t have any Daylight savings.

I recommend playing with timezones disabled while summertime is not active or using this mod to set the default to winter time: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890055880
Make sure my mod is above Winter Time Zones in the mod list as that mod changes the same file.
