This makes my FPS inside shops, etc. drop from 170 to about 45. Is there a way to minimise the impact on FPS? Is this sort of drop normal? I assume this FPS hit is mostly to do with the 'Real Lights' part of the mod, as opposed to the 'Natural Interiors' part?
I'm sure this is a fantastic mod, but unfortunately the beauty is slightly marred due to it raining/storming all the time. I have been trying to fix it for a while now but decided to finally ask for help here. At first, I had it "install from file" via Vortex. I thought might have been the issue, so I re-installed it manually following the readme, but still no luck...
Here are the things I have tried so far if that helps:
- changed .ini settings based on a discussion thread a few pages back from here (i.e. setting duration for storms/rain to 1 and clear to 17) - fast traveling all over the map - waiting for many hours in-game - uninstalling/reinstalling the mod - only enabling the required parts
Any help is greatly appreciated, it's amazing the modding community for this game is still going, thanks for that!
This mod changes the weather, not the lighting in interiors. If you want it to be brighter in interiors, I recommend either equipping a torch or going into video settings and increasing the brightness setting, though increasing overall brightness will affect the game as a whole which may affect immersion.
Actually, any version of this mod does change the lighting in interiors, because of its Natural Interiors and Real Lights features. Natural Interiors brings natural light coming from the weather outside, and Real Lights removes all the fake light sources not connected to real objects. If you installed the full version of the mod, normally during daytime the rooms will be flooded with daylight, so they shouldn't be dark (although the light is dependant of the weather/time of day so the rooms will be dimmer if it's stormy, and dark if it's nighttime) but I found that if you forgot to rebuild your bashed patch, they won't have any daylight at all (= Natural Interiors won't work) and thus be very dark. And if you installed the "Real Lights Only" version of the mod, it'll remove many light sources from the rooms so yes, they'll become darker than usual.
Why is the brightness scale on the vanilla clear weather set to 0.7? The brightness blowout from vanilla weathers was definitely overdone but it's weird looking up at the sky and having the display get darker
Adds so much atmosphere to the game for me. In some cases the weather changes abruptly when entering cities or exiting an interior, but not too immersion breaking!
I use a timescale of 20 as opposed to the vanilla 30 btw (which I change by tweaking settings via Wrye Bash when rebuilding patch)
My amateur self can only recommend a Reshade and just the default 'Home' key to adjust brightness, saturation etc. Or use the vanilla torch and light spells or Hunter's Sight!
Sometimes my weather abruptly changes when I have a loading screen (leaving/entering cities or entering/leaving buildings) Also when I change from inside to outside (Interiors/cities) or vice versa and my weather is in transition the transition will be stopped and I will have the former weather again (So for example when it just stopped raining or when it begins to rain less and I leave the city it will be full rain again) I found out that a similiar problem is caused by outdated obse versions but I use the latest xObse. Is there anything else what could cause this?
