    + Torches for Realistic Lighting mod :

    you can also install the Torches for Realistic Lighting mod by Monophonotronic to have a
    better brightness and radius with your torches.

Need help making your own custom effects ?
_______________________________________________________________________________


Here is a list of different places to go. That will help you tweek the RealisticLighting.ini file

like you want and find better balanced effects. Those places are really differents from one to

another (colors, lights...) :


Interiors :
  • Breezhome (whiterun) => warm lights / small room
  • The Bannered Mare (Whiterun) => warm lights / large room
  • The Winking Skeever (Solitude) => red ambiant lights



Dungeons :
  • Embershard mine (west of Riverwood) => red / blue ambiant lights
  • Forelhost Stronghold (south east of the map near Riften) => red / yellow ambiant lights
  • Silverdrift Lair (north from Whiterun or any nord ruin) => pale yellow ambiant lights
  • Tolvald's Cave (eastern part of the map...or any falmers' cave) => pale / blue ambiant lights



Landscapes (Day / Night / Dawn / Dusk) :
  • Whiterun
  • Riverwood
  • Weynon Stone (north of Whiterun) => brighter ambiant lights (snow)
  • Solitude (near Katla's Farm or the boats) => best for dawns



Nights - you MUST test... :
  • clear sky nights
  • clear sky nights with aurora
  • cloudy nights
  • cloudy nights with aurora
  • Storm nights (darker and cloudier)



Days - you MUST test... :
  • on regular grounds
  • on snowy grounds (refraction of the snow = brighter)
