Description:
This mod alters lighting and textures.
My attempt at fixing the way textures blend in the light and the dark.


All .esp's work together or separately. (Except for PhyDark, only use one.)



PhyLight.esp (Requires all DLC)

  • Removes most of the dust and fog from interiors.
  • Normalizes Saturation, Contrast and Brightness.
  • Cleans up most water and allows water to be dark in the darkness.
  • Vanilla only version added in the optional downloads.


PhyDark.esp (Requires all DLC)

  • Reduces majority of interior lighting.
  • Added (128), (164), (192) and (256) versions.
  • Most default lights are 256 radius.
  • PhyDark (128) - changes radiuses to 128.
  • PhyDark (164) - changes radiuses to 164.
  • PhyDark (192) - changes radiuses to 192.
  • PhyDark (256) - changes radiuses to 192, but leaves some main ones at 256.
  • Vanilla only versions added in the optional downloads.


PhyLight AIO Textures Pack (no esp version) Parts 1, 2 and 3

  • No esp's required.
  • The Textures had too many esp files, so i got rid of them all.
  • Combined all 7,295 textures together. Vanilla and all DLC.
  • Split them into 6 parts of 1.7 GB for each .ba2 to stay under the 2 GB limit and to even them out.
  • Fast loading time. As fast or almost as fast as the base game.
  • No difference in input latency compared to the base game.
  • (To test, ready a weapon and spin in circles. Different weapons have different speeds, so use the same one for testing.)
