Dawn
4.4
(16)
"I used to play console & DAWN was beautiful. try it!"
"What sets DAWN apart from other weather mods, including Azurite, is not only the visuals but the audio as well"
"DAWN adds its own multi-colored sky mesh. It literally has not only the best visuals but also audio of any other weather mod available on console."
"DAWN, There really is no comparison."
"Dawn hands down. Some may find it dark so add Dawn Brighter Nights if you don't like it being dark at night."
"Honestly the best picks are going to be DAWN and Mythical Ages. DAWN is fantastic."
"Dawn is the tippity top when it comes to weather mods for Xbox."
"Dawn is THE premier weather mod for Xbox. I know the mod size is not ideal, but everything you get in it is worth the space."
