What this mod does
Winter Weather is a weather mod by kworey that turns Europe into a winter setting. It doesn’t add snow to the landscape: what it does is cool the climate down so that, when the weather turns bad, snow falls instead of rain. The author himself admits it isn’t realistic in areas where it never snows, but it’s an easy way to get a wintry atmosphere all year round.
Snow probability
- Default climate: 50 %.
- Cold climate: 90 %.
- Arid climate: 30 %.
- Desert climate: 10 %.
- With ProMods: 70 % in subarctic climate and 100 % in arctic climate.
Skies
It also rebalances the skies so they all have the same probability throughout the 24 hours, including overcast and foggy ones.
Compatibility
It’s incompatible with other weather mods that change the climate settings. The author recommends pairing it with his Real life day and night duration mod for a more immersive winter. He doesn’t state a game version, but keeps it maintained: the latest update is from October 22, 2026, and several users confirm it worked on 1.58. There’s a separate version for American Truck Simulator.
