      That was my exact thought too. I'd be happy if it was that dark haha.

    Real Lights (from All Natural) terminates all artificial lights inside buildings and outdoors, but for some reason -- probably to allow exploration without mandatory torch/spell --, it only slightly reduces the light level in dungeons.

    Darker Dungeons allows to fill the void, by killing any kind of artificial light in dungeons while preserving the vanilla light physics (it will be totally dark when there are no natural sources of light, but areas will be perfectly illuminated if sources are nearby or above).

    I recommend using the two mods altogether -- Darker Dungeons without Real Lights is not as good, because the vanilla light physics are less realistic than those of Real Lights.

      I would say LTBD is actually better, but it depends on how dark you want it and if the black-to-dark-grey banding of DD bothers you.

      I for one cannot stand that visual bug with DD.

      I wish you would say what LTBD is, for those of us who haven't memorized all of the acronyms for mods
      I'd look into whatever LTBD is, but I haven't the slightest clue how to determine what it is.

      I'm assuming the L is LIGHT or LIGHTING, but don't now what the TBD is...

      That would be Let There Be Darkness. Theres also Let There Be More Darkness if you need it.

    No effect. The only mod I have running is Darnified UI. I'm not even using any of the patches.

      CO looks nearly identical to LTBD - DD is not quite as dark as the others, but if your using Real Lights - All Natural, then DD is probably a better combination, or LTBD+LTBMD if RL-AN is not used (since LTBD+ covers more than CO).

    Does it affect the NPC awareness and Sneak ability ???? if not than there is no point of using it

    Tell you one thing........

    It's actually made dungeon crawling a bit more scary.




    I wonder though.....does it effect sneaking?
    Like is the AI detection effected by these darker areas?

    ...ether way you made oblivion more better so you have my thumbs up

    Reducing monitor to 50% prior to playing creates nearly pitch black dungeons.

    Ideal, immersive, and challenging. Plus works well with mods that add torches to NPC enemies. A must have with every playthrough!

    Oh and I spotted your comment maym_001, I will be getting those mods now to try your suggestion out. I just love survival horror games!

    This mod + Real Lights + Creepy Oblivion Ambient Tracks + Ambient Dungeon SFX + Deadly Traps = Dungeons are now a freaking survival horror game! Amazing combination of mods, I would encourage people to try this combo.

    Edit: Plus, add Creature Diversity and go to a dungeon with giant spiders in it, and you've got a change of underwear waiting for you!
