    Say you don't want to choose either Live, Dynamic, or Custom weather. Maybe you're tired of choosing presets and making custom ones every time you're hittin' the rails. Or simply driving with clear skies or light clouds often. Well here I will suggest a toggle option before you load in for the game to surprise you with weather conditions chosen by random!

    Similar to how you would choose any normal weather preset in game. "Randomized/Random" Would be the 4th option out of the existing 3. Also just like how the Live Weather preset removes the sliders, this one would also do the same to keep the element of surprise until you load in.

    This would have to correspond with the date you're driving in, so if you pick a winter seasonal day, you could potentially get snow. Spring, rain and so on. Because no one wants to see it snowing in June with no clouds in the air... Which brings me to my next point:

    For it to logically make sense and work for the game, the randomizer needs to be smart enough to bind clouds and precipitation together. So for it to rain, the appropriate amount of clouds needs to be present to match the severity of the rain. Because if you load in and it's pouring rain out of purely nothing, then the immersion ends before it even begins.

    So to conclude, with the correct in depth setup and execution of this feature the randomized weather preset could give players a less predictable experience when on the rails.
    (randomized weather in this case is not dynamic but potentially could be)
