Interior Lighting Overhaul

Description:

WHAT IS INTERIOR LIGHTING OVERHAUL?


INTERIOR LIGHTING OVERHAUL'S main purpose is to increase the immersion and creepiness of the Fallout world, especially inside the vaults, caves and ruined buildings.

WHAT DOES INTERIOR LIGHTING OVERHAUL DO EXACTLY?


The features of ILO can be broken down to three categories:

LIGHTING ESSENTIALS:

- Lighting values of most all lighting templates and image spaces have been adjusted.
- Changes have been made to every single interior cell in Fallout NV + DLC.
- Addition of lighting fixtures to the appropriate places where they were left out.
- Lighting color changes to both lights and fixtures.

VANILLA LIGHTING BUG FIXES

This includes the removal and/or changes of:

- Poorly placed lights (Not Sure who to blame for this one)
- Invisible lights (lighting in areas that should be dark or have light fixtures)
- Bleeding lights (lighting that is protruding through walls)
- Caves (No really, you cannot see your hand in front of your face in a pitch black cave)
- And lots more!

Think of Interior Lighting Overhaul as the Mission Mojave for lighting!

LIGHTING FEATURES

- Light Switches (Mostly all residential interior cells (houses, hotels, and safe houses))

After 200 years of degradation some things just aren't going to work, so don't expect all light switches to work.

****CRITICAL****

Make sure you have your monitor brightness levels set correctly, ALONG with the in-game settings. Maxing out your LCD's Brightness and Contrast setting is recommended. ILO is developed and tested on an ASUS VH242H LCD with Contrast: 80, Brightness: 100, and Splendid: Standard Mode.

Wrye Bash users: If you are using a Bashed Patch use the import cells option and select "Interior Lighting Overhaul - Core.esm". Doing this will make "Interior Lighting Overhaul - Ultimate Edition.esp" obsolete as it is just a load order fix to ensure the proper overrides take place. Interior Lighting Overhaul - Core.esm should have these bash tags: {{BASH:C.Climate,C.Light}}

You might want to consider a Night vision mod (Advanced Recon Thermal Nightvision). Otherwise a ghoul might eat your face off. Also check out Pelinor's Glow Sticks mod!

You should know that we really enjoy weather mods, they make the game much more immersive. We are working very hard to keep ILO compatible with all those popular mods.

===============
Bugs/Issues:
===============

A Nightkin reported that ILO was not working for him, It was later discovered that it was due simply to the fact he had smashed his keyboard over some courier's head who tried to take his special Brahmin skull

===============
Install/Uninstall:
===============

If you are NOT using FOMM or NMM, start using one of them, I will provide no support for manual install of ILO, I assume you know what you are doing.

****CRITICAL****
I highly recommend that you install ILO with the included .fomod package!
Interior Lighting Overhaul's installer for Nexus Mod Manager is scripted to install ILO plugins based off your Load Order.

Fallout Mod Manager Install:

1. Extract the .fomod file from the archive.
2. Start FOMM and click on Package Manager.
3. In the top-right button menu, click on Add FOMod and select the extracted archive file.
4. Interior Lighting Overhaul will now appear in the list. Select it and click Activate.
5. In the installer window, select the options you want, then click Install. If you are prompted to overwrite anything, click Yes to All.**
** NOTE: If any of the required install files are not active in your load order the installer WILL notify you.

Fallout Mod Manager Uninstall:

1. Start FOMM and click on Package Manager.
2. Select Interior Lighting Overhaul in the list and click Uninstall.
