    Hi, I've been trying to search for similar problems. It seems I have done something to my install related to Timeofday folder. Not that familiar with applying the pack to other routes (Worked on all freeware routes I tried so far) but I may have done something wrong along the way.
    I now realise the weather is not how it should, scenarios that are supposed to be snow, misty or thunder etc show up as clear and sunny.
    Not sure what I did wrong and how to mitigate and not sure where to start troubleshooting..
    I copied the Timeofday folder from AP/WeatherEP/ to some folders is all.
    Hope someone has some idea :)

    **I searched the \Content folder for Timeofday. Found a TimeOfDay folder inside the Content\Routes\*WCMLTrentValley*
    I guess it shouldn't be there - rather inside the Assets\Thomson\WCMLTrentValley\ (which it is as well). Trying to delete and see what happens

    By far the easiest way to change the weather in a scenario is to simply edit the scenario in-game and change the weather type (or if you don't want to impact the original, create a clone and then edit it).

    The Time of Day blueprints only control things like the skydome texture, sky colours and light levels at specific times of day for specific seasons. It will not impact your weather at all unless you've removed the weather folder (some of which may also reside in the TimeofDay folder of the original route).

    Hope this helps.

    Best, Steve

    Thanks, that's a good tip.
    I had also forgotten about TS Tools and it's capabilities so I'm using that to change a few things :)
