🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a visual mod, make sure your game is updated to a version close to the mod's last update (March 2024) to avoid conflicts.
If you use other weather or lighting mods, test Nova Rain in a few different conditions (day, night, rain) to ensure it blends well.
Check the mod's comments section on the Nexus for any user-reported compatibility issues with specific game versions.
