Make Skyrim’s weather feel more impactful with this particle mod
Watch On
I loved The Witcher 3’s wobbly bushes. In the original version of The Witcher 3 they used to sway like they were singing Auld Lang Syne on New Year’s Eve, and it really helped bring Velen to life. Particle Wind, a mod by RavenKZP, does the same for Skyrim.
You’ll need to have SKSE and the Address Library for SKSE Plugins installed, but after that it should be a simple matter of downloading Particle Wind from Nexus Mods. If you find the way things blow around to be a bit much, you can tweak the effect in the ParticleWind.ini file you’ll find in Data\SKSE\Plugins. Just alter the fDefaultStrength, maybe dropping it from 2 to 1.5.

RavenKZP is responsible for a host of useful Skyrim mods that add things you might not realize are missing until someone points them out. Their other mods include Underwater Bubbles, Universal Arrow Spin, and Weapon Switch Animations Complete, which gives you bespoke animations for a variety of weapon-drawing and -sheathing options the vanilla game lacks.
