I do not want to create a new thread, since this is something that I have been testing myself and there may be issues I missed. Here is the final readme:

Known Issues:
•Loading a quicksave in X16 will cause the game to crash. To avoid loss of game time played, manually save in X16. Quicksaving is working in all other locations.
•When it is raining on one map and you enter another, the rain sound effect will no longer play until you save and reload on the new map.
•When opening the console you will see a argument for invalid ini_weather, I have no idea what it means, so if you do, please help! It does not seem to effect anything in the game though.
•This will not work with the steam version because of the ini_weather issue, unless there is another workaround to fix the issue above.
