Better Weather

This mod changes in-game weather effects of some weather types to make them look nicer.
May have some performance impact, especially if your computer doesn't even handle the normal weather effects.
All showcase photos are taken on the "High" graphical preset.

Features:
- Actually visible raindrops, spread over a wider area.
- Fog is more realistically colored, being closer to gray.
- Rain fog is less dense close by, but denser far away.
- Sun scales better with weather effects.

Currently affects the following weather effects:
- Fog (light and heavy)
- Rain (light and heavy)
- Thunderstorm (light and heavy)
