About this mod

New Summer keeps a summer setting while refreshing the scenery and weather around it. Vegetation and grass receive more variety and detail, alongside changes to roads, lighting, rainfall and reflections on wet surfaces. After rain, roads stay wet for longer.

Give it top priority in Mod Manager and disable competing weather or graphics packs. Only one seasonal mod should be active. Grimes recommends high vegetation detail and grass density with normal maps enabled. Choose the free ad-supported download or the paid ad-free option through the official author page.
