Skyrim - can't make weather files for solstheim/soul cairn?

EDIT: So I think I've figured out how to force ENB weather files using location ID's, but this means I have to set the weather per location regardless of what weather is playing (e.g. same weather for clear vs. cloudy vs. ashstorm, or clear vs. cloudy vs. rain) - so I'd still like to know, if it's possible, how to do per-weather weather files for Solstheim, Soul Cairn, and other areas whose weather files don't seem to load properly.

I've made dozens of enb weather files for mod-added weathers (Obsidian, True storms mostly), but can't seem to make weather files for certain weathers, specifically any of the Solstheim or Soul Cairn weathers.

I've tried adding the weather formID for Solstheim weathers without the DLC prefix (e.g. 31ac0 for Ash weather) and with the DLC prefix to the formID (e.g. 04031ac0), but neither work, and same for other Dragonborn weathers and weathers in the soul cairn.

It just doesn't seem to want to load the new weather files I make. Checked spelling of the ini file names, and I've done this before for dozens of other weathers.

I've noticed that I can't find any ENB's with weather presets for Dragonborn, so it might just not be an easily solvable issue, but if someone knows how to fix this, I'd appreciate it.

(I'm not an experienced modder, I just play around with ENB settings til I find something I like).

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Dont know how to help, no idea what is Solstheim and where is it, i didnt play the game. Weather ID is read by mod with cut off first two digits, for example 04031ac0 become internally 00031ac0. It doesnt matter what else is used, as long as script functions to catch weather are the same.

Ah ok. Thanks for sharing that info. I think I've tried writing it just as 31ac0, but I'll try with 00031ac0 and 04031ac0 and see if either of those work out.

Also ENB is amazing, thanks for making it :3

So, this was actually really helpful because I tried changing the weather ID in the weatherlist file to all zeroes before the main weather code (instead of the DLC # code, eg. 4), and now I can get individual weathers for the DLC areas. Exactly what I was wanting.

Thanks Boris!
