Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics or NLVA is a powerful weather mod developed from the assets of Vivid Weathers, NLA, Mindflux Snow, and Ethereal Clouds. The Skyrim mod is a combination of two impressive weather and lighting mods in the gaming industry. These are Vivid Weathers and VW and Natural Lighting & Atmospherics or NLA.

There are plenty of Skyrim modifications available as weather mods. However, none of them employ rain and fog effects as good as this one. In addition to this, most Skyrim modifications don’t produce stunning sunrises and sunsets. Most importantly, compared to Cloaks of Skyrim and FNIS Behaviors, NLVA download comes in a lightweight free package.

A mod developed from the best elements of Vivid Weathers and NLA

The main purpose of Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics is to preserve the coloring and lighting of NLA. At the same time, it aims to incorporate the spectacular effects and visuals developed by WV creators, Kesta and Manga. While this Skyrim mod was born from VW and NLA, it has become a highly feature-rich, realistic, vivid, and powerful combination of the two mods.

Are there optional components?

NLVA download comes with some optional components, which add more features to the game. For instance, this Skyrim modification offers ‘increased weather variety’. It includes multiple plugins on the basis of your sound mods and weather preference. It’s worth mentioning that you can use only a single plugin. Before using it, check out the readme file for detailed instructions and load order.

Another optional component in Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics is NLVA - True Storms Patch. Simply put, it’s a solid patch, which is compatible with ‘increased weather variety’. Last but not least, the Skyrim mod gives access to Vivid Weathers MCM, which ensures more control over interior and night brightness.

A good choice to improve the game’s appearance

NLVA download is compatible with all kinds of lighting overhauls, excluding the ones that modify weather. According to most gamers, this Skyrim modification is recommended to be used with Wet & Cold and Frostfall. This increases immersion since certain weathers can be quite intense.
