The Midnight Oil: Lighting Overhaul


by Merlord

Description:

This mod overhauls lights by making them reusable and toggle-able. Lights in town will turn off during the day, and you can toggle any light on or off by holding down shift+activating it.

  • Toggle lights on and off by holding down shift and pressing the activate key. This includes both carry-able and static lights.
  • Lights in towns and settlements will now turn off during the day, similar to window glow in Glow in the Dahrk.
  • Lights no longer get destroyed when underwater. Lights don't disappear when they run out of fuel (except torches)
  • Refill lanterns and candlesticks with candles, and lamps with oil, both purchasable at various traders and pawnbrokers.
  • All three bug lamps were made to match price, weight and duration, as two of them were zero weight, infinite lights in vanilla.
  • Flasks of oil can be refilled manually by activating an ash mire (those black tar pits in the Ashlands and West of Seyda Neen).
