Default Is it possible to have clouds in the sky with advanced rendering turned off?
Just wondering. My poor laptop doesn't like when I force him to push boundaries each time I turn on the game to play,therefore I got curious if I could still have good bits without AR on. It lags my game to the extent It crashes after 30min or so gameplay,most commonly when I look up to the sky in tab mode (which is like every 3mins). I adore sky and lighting mods in TS3 and It loses its charm when there are no clouds. Its just sad. I put my hands many time on GraphicRules file and modificated lines which does smth with Advanced rendering off

AdvancedRendering
setting $Off
prop $ConfigGroup RenderForceMinspecShaders 1
prop $ConfigGroup TerrainLODMode 0
prop $ConfigGroup RenderPostProcessEnabled false
prop $ConfigGroup RenderShadowsEnabled true
prop $ConfigGroup CullUndergroundBuildBuyStructures 0

So I still manage to keep nicely textured grass\ground,more dinamic shadows without straining my devices capabilities.
But what can I do about cloud situation? Any suggestions?
(When I alter "RenderForceMinispecShaders" to 0 -tada-clouds appear,but my game doesn't aprove this option,unfortunately)
(Sorry in advance for any mistakes,I hope you'll get what I was blabbering here)
Thanks!
