Skymod for RTW/BI/M2TW

Skymod is a mod by HorseArcher, which aims to change the wheather condicions, wheather graphics, as well as add alot of new things like blizzards, thunderstorms, bloodred dramatic skies etc.




Skymod for RTW/BI

There exist two versions for RTW:

  1. Skymod for RTW 1.2 (outdated)
  2. Skymod for RTW 1.3 and more important RTW 1.5 / Barbarian Invasion 1.6

Mod changes and content, the different download links as well as the Install Instructions can be found here in it's official TWC Thread:

Skymod + Night Battles in RTW



Skymod for M2TW

Here is a short list of what HorseArcher has tried to implement in his mod:

  • correct all small problems, or whatever problems i see or find during my customization
  • Reduce the fog globaly on all climates
  • Increase sunny the weather patterns according to the climate type
  • Increase the chances of some rare events, such as blizzards and thunder storms
  • customize weather events by chaining them into one (sunny to rainy, rainy to sunny, cloudy to clear etc)
  • customize the clouds, try using alternative custom made clouds
  • Increase the speed of the clouds (visually very cool)
  • build custom effects
  • reduce bloom lighthing globally
  • Create custom weathers
  • Create custom climates
  • Create custom weather phenomenas (as far as the modding and the engine and my experience let's me), such as heavier dust/wind/rain/snow/fog/ effects as well as custom made weather effects (light/heavy snow; light,medium,heavy rain etc)
  • Attempt to re-activate disabled effects (overcast)


When installing this mod for M2TW, two things are important to remember:

  1. You will need to activate the Shader 2 graphics option for this mod to work.
  2. You will need to use the --IO. file_first command to get this mod to work.

The install instructions for this can be found on the Total War Center download page for this mod, see below:
