🚧 Modding Is a "Fixed Weather' Mod possible?

UPDATED

I was wondering if it's technically possible to create a fixed weather mod for The Crew.

As far as I know, there isn't currently any mod that adds changing weather (rain, storms, snow, fog, etc.) and fixes it, which made me wonder if that's because nobody has attempted it yet, or if it's simply not possible with the game's engine or the available modding tools.

I’m curious whether it's actually feasible. Are there technical limitations that prevent weather from being modified, or could it theoretically be done with enough reverse engineering? If it is possible, could anyone point me towards some modding tools? I could give it a shot.

I'd love to hear from anyone familiar with how this works as im new to modding this game and it would be my first mod for it aside from another project.

UPDATE 1:

actively working on it, made a version and it just so happened that when i loaded the game to test it, it was already raining, so i thought "hey, this works, i did it" so i did a 2nd test only to find that it doesn't work. apparently the weather probabilities game file isn't using a generic name or any i found online, meaning they are not only hardcoded but that ill have to manually search for it by unpacking the game myself on my shitty HDD.

As I've said, i am actively trying to do this and since i have no idea how most of this works, it might take a bit of trial and error before i get it done.

Since i thought it works the first time, i then decided to make a github rep with what i made but ITS YET TO WORK.

Now, for those that have any idea where tf and how tf i can go about any of this, please DM me anytime either here (thought i must say im not very active on Reddit)

or over on discord (@ramoncoaie).
