skyrim special edition realistic lighting overhaul too dark

I plan on releasing this mod to Skyrim Nexus after more work has been completed and it's a bit more fleshed out. Any mod that alters lighting in Breezehome, Honeyside, and Sleepy Giant Inn (and soon more) More Dynamic Shadows (It will work, but the lighting will not match up with what's in the screenshots and buggy visuals may occur). I highly suggest you run this mod without any lighting mods that modify individual lighting in the affected areas. As a result, buggy lighting and strange results unintended by this mod WILL occur. Please be aware, the following mods are known to modify the lighting in areas affected by this mod. The altered areas are listed below in the change log. Please keep in mind, this is not a world-wide alteration, but a built-by-hand, per-area, alteration. (typically each version will add a new area.)Īfter installation, in the affected areas only, expect ambient lighting to be a tad brighter, slightly more diffused, windows will generally emanate light as if light is really shining through them from the outside, as well as a few of my own personal artistic touches to certain areas (such as the light beams seen in Breezehome's bedroom).

Please see the changelog which lists all areas affected by this mod. The most highly-trafficked areas will be given priority. Future updates improve upon further interior areas based on my own personal priority. The first pass of this mod fixes the ever-popular Breezehome. This mod aims to fix some of these areas and create a more realistic feel. In real life, when light is in an enclosed space, it bounces around off surfaces a lot more, creating much softer shadows and more ambient lighting than what is reflected in-game with Pluto's mod. I think it works fine in the exteriors, but in several interior spaces the lighting feels far too harsh. I have enjoyed Pluto's Realistic Lighting mod very much, however, I've always felt he took things a little too far with reducing the ambient light throughout the game. I highly recommend picking up the Realistic Lighting Mod (or other mods that darken the ambient lighting) to fully enjoy this! Overall, you'll be seeing a much lighter and brighter version of the affected interiors, and things will be a bit washed out. However, the visuals will not be quite what I intended. I have tested this mod without Realistic Lighting, and it works just fine without it. (also found on Skyrim Nexus here: ) OR other mods which significantly decrease the game's ambient light in interior spaces. This mod is intended to be used with the mod 'Realistic Lighting' by Pluto (aka kurtcop) found here:

Also adds a few personal stylistic alterations to improve visual interest in certain areas. This Mod updates certain interior spaces with more realistic lighting solutions to better mimic ambient lighting caused by smaller enclosed spaces.
