Hi, I've been a lurker for more than 3 years but finally have something to contribute now.
I'm working on a custom world in CAW and wanted to achieve a crisp and golden lighting which is typical to late summer/early autumn here in Scandinavia. So after fiddling about with both the colour ramps and .ini files I think I have figured out, which ones correlate to each of the EA weather types.
In CAW there are five slider settings in the Time of day panel (at least that's what I think it's called in the English version) and I've assumed that they run in the following order:
1. Clear
2. Partly cloudy
3. Overcast
4. Stormy
5. Custom
This assumption is based on observing how the cloud cover and atmosphere looks under each setting - I could be wrong but it also seems like a fairly logical order to me
After changing the hue for each colour ramp quite drastically this is the result I came up with:
Clear
S3_1F886EAD_00000000_967BC6C3B3808C00%%+_INI.ini
S3_00B2D882_0076A684_7529C26EE8E2A9E6%%+_IMG.dds
Partly clouded
S3_1F886EAD_00000000_560C0FD7012DA7F3%%+_INI.ini

Overcast

Stormy
S3_1F886EAD_00000000_2C02B3532B64EB49%%+_INI.ini

Custom

Hope this helps.
simsample - concerning your problems viewing your changes in game, I'm experiencing the same issue when testing in CAW. More often than not all five different weather settings only show the clear weather but I find that reimporting the altered files and reloading CAW corrects the issue. Still, as you say, it makes testing quite tiresome.
