About this mod

Early Autumn brings a less leafy landscape, fallen leaves and revised lighting to your routes. Rainfall, windscreen drops and wet surfaces are reworked, with roads staying wet for longer after a shower.

Place it at the top of Mod Manager and disable other weather or graphics overhauls. Use only one season at a time. Grimes recommends high vegetation detail and grass density, with normal maps enabled. The official page offers a free ad-supported download and a paid ad-free option.
