Vurt's Hi-res Skies and weathers

This pack was created because i wasnt satisfied with how some of SWG's skies looked
together with my bloom/weather settings.You need SWG skies 3 installed or else these skies will look.. odd. This pack does NOT include all skies, that's why you need SWG Skies, and you need his meshes, and you WANT his moons and particle effects :) 

I don't have either Cloudy or Clear sky, SWG's version of these skies are excellent and his other skies are great too, try both his version and mine and see which one you prefer. 

SWG Skies 3: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7066

IMPORTANT! Remember to install SWG's fix for the nigt sky:

Night Sky fix: http://www.2shared.com/file/6922846/3ce2f1b7/sky_night_02.html

I also highly recommend my weather settings below, those has been tweaked for these skies. I've put many hours into tweaking the values, the weathers, including sunrise/sunsets and night fog, are color matched from real-life pictures.

If you are using MGE i recommend these shaders with the latest MGE:

Use in this order:

knx_SSAO
KNX_DoF
ImprovedWaterCaustics
SunshaftV002a
trueBloom_g6_i6 (bloom shaders always needs to be tweaked a bit for best results!)

ALWAYS check the official forum for the latest verions of shaders and MGE:

Instructions:
 
* Backup your morrowind.ini just in case.
* Copy/ paste my weather settings over the old settings in morrowind.ini, make sure you first select the old settings and nothing else, and then paste over my settings.

If you want to make your own weathers you can check out this image i have created to
make it easier to understand what you are doing with the different values:
