I've been looking over the various mods available and trying to form a good weather combo pack. Right now, these are the weather and lighting related mods I have downloaded:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23765
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17802 Final Edition
+ Dawnguard patch
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27022 for CoT version
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15506 v19
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25675 v2.1
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16541 COT v5.0
+ Real Rain Ripples v5.0
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28110
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1702
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4910 High (only a texture pack so hopefully shouldn't cause any problems)
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25666 v1.041
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28127 Climates of Tamriel Preset

Does anyone have any experience getting mods like these to fit together smoothly? Is that a good order to place them in? Are there any other essential weather mods? I've also read of problems with the sound effects from Immersive Skyrim Thunder not working with the lightning from the other mods.

Additionally, someone on other forum posted this a while ago:
which I used as the basis for many of my mod selections. However, he mentions to use "performance rain & snow FX texture replacers" to remove a problem between Supreme Storms and Real Rain. Anyone know where to find them?

I considered using mods like http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7654 and http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1875, but I'm guessing trying to get multiple mods that affect lighting working together will probably end in tears.

Instead of real rain I've been using http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27022, which has a CoT patch.

Been considering adding http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25022 - somewhat weather related.
