Anyone else tried modding Skyrim with every available weather preset?

I keep switching between realistic and cinematic lighting and can't decide which vibes better for late-night playthroughs -- anyone have a favorite combo that doesn't break performance?

Yeah did that and my game broke on day 3 from conflict. Don't do it

I've actually tried this and it breaks everything because I didn't know about load order priority -- you need to put your custom weather preset at the very bottom of your master files list or every single script will default to vanilla clear sky regardless of what mod you loaded first which is infuriating when you spend three hours crafting a storm setup. It reminds me so much of that time I tried to fix my old Dell Inspiron by opening up the case and just -- never mind, completely unrelated but this happened in 2014 and it's relevant because the principle of troubleshooting top-down is universal regardless of whether you're dealing with a file path error or a hardware failure. I remember thinking 'if I can see where the problem is I can solve it' which is basically what load order management is at its core, just applied to virtual files instead of physical ones and somehow we both ended up crying over our respective machines while drinking lukewarm coffee -- but yeah, for your specific question: install Weather Unlimited first as a base then add your individual presets in reverse alphabetical order if you want them to override each other properly.
