These textures were tested on a moderately high-end machine, with no real performance issues on max-settings, I would not recommend using this texture pack on a machine that struggles with performance.

Regular cloud textures were not made by me, they came from here:

Please report back if you notice any issues, performance hits, or any suggestions for improvement. Thanks.

Ah! Sorry ive made an error in my readme, dont just add -ImprovedClouds,
add -mod=ImprovedClouds
Sorry will edit the original post. That should work.


If you have it on steam, right click it and hit properties, then launch options, and add
-mod=ImprovedClouds

To make a regular shortcut, find your .exe file and right click, create shortcut, and add -mod=ImprovedClouds to your target line.

Great work. Just one question as I am new to the whole mod install process, how do I add this to the steam launch options or target line on a normal shortcut? In fact what does this mean? Thanks for all your work, cheers! :)
