Being a skin encyclopedia is not my best trait, but you can look at either:

Skins that seem to not work do work too once you rename the .rmskin to .zip and extract the skin folder from it, e.g.:
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=44748
Choosing your location above is about editing the EngCityURL variable from the C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Mass Effect\Launcher\Applications.txt file, by the way.
As for the difficulty to adjust skins to your liking, it depends. It's mostly about:
- having some WebParser measures to get data from a relevant address (e.g. https://www.foreca.com/<Code>/<Location>/15-day-forecast)
- right click to 'View Page Source' in the browser, as that is what the WebParser measure(s) will be parsing to scrape desired data from
- designing the regular expresssion patterns (test sites here and here) used by the WebParser to 'capture' the parts you are interested in from the webpage source
- designing your meters to display the data from the measures the way you want to
The more complex part is the 3rd step above, mostly because some knowledge on what regular expressions are, how they work and what patterns are used for various characters or groups of characters (e.g. using .* for any char repeated any number of times, round brackets to capture something, etc).
