I've taken a look at the script in one of the Basic ESPs, and I can see it contains multiple OBSE functions, so the original author was mistaken to say that Basic does not require OBSE.
I am using Wrye Bash to install and using the advanced esp. My windows are always lighted as well. Not sure why it wont work, I have OBSE, etc all working fine.
Hello. I have a question. Some windows in some buildings might have the lights on and off and then again on during the night. Is it supposed to be so or no?

They are lit from 5am until the sunrise and will also be lit at 75% brightness during rainy weather. Cathedrals, inns, and taverns are lit all night long. The smoke from the chimneys depends on the altitude, season, and weather conditions.
Specifically,during the 6 cold months of the year smoke is heavy during the night and light during the day. During the 6 warmer months of the year smoke is light during the night and zero during the day except when raining. However, even in warmer months smoke is still heavy in the northern part of Tamriel and in the mountains.
Asmall random factor (25%) allows having different types of smoke (a large effect among smaller ones or a small effect when no other chimney is smoking).

The install script for AWLS doesn't work anymore because updates to Wrye Bash broke backwards compatability.
An error occurred in the wizard script: Line 15:SelectSubPackage "000 Core" Error:(Line 15, Column 28): Sub-package '000 Core' is not a part of the installer.
Is there any chance of this getting fixed? The script needs updating to work as I understand it, and this is not the only BAIN/FOMOD installer i've seen break in precisely this way.
Works absolutely fine with Wrye Bash 311. You're changing the content of mod archives before installing them, that's what is breaking the installs for you.
The images don't really do this mod justice. When you're walking through the Imperial City as night falls, and the lights come on, it's quite a magical transition. 10/10 mod.
Thanks to your comments, i was able to play with AWLS!!!! I searched for hours and hours with control-F for MO2 and other keywords, until I saw your post, and tried your solution! Thank you for posting and posting the ANSWER! .
I also Like MO2 and went to install AWLS, and saw no headaches. Even used a backdoor approach and ran OBMM archive activation through MO2, however the light only stayed on for one load and the smoke was spotty at best, lol. I could not keep the smoke and lights on after one session.
Saw your SKYBSA fix! I also think SKYBSA fixes other things as well. Just seems smoother now.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!
I think AWLS - Animated Window Lighting System and Chimneys - Must have SKYBSA mod......................
help me please somebody. what should I do to reduce the brightness of the windows? could not figure out the IllumAnimation tool :( how exactly to do it?
I installed using Wrye Bash, everything seems to work as intended. My only question is this, why do the interior windows appear to glow at night, as if it's daylight outside? Is this just how the mod normally functions?
AWLS doesn't touch interiors at all, you're either seeing the lighting from the original game, or you have another mod installed which changes the interior lighting/windows.
please make it consistent with the fashion for transparent windows and so that the light does not burn in all windows, and sometimes it lights up and goes out, and, of course, if you put a window with curtains, they would appear inside the building.
Hey, I'm modding my game using Bevilex modlist. My problem with this mod is that the lights stay on 24/7 (like during the day as well). I definitely chose the right settings in the wizard with Wyre Bash. You seem to be a great responder. Is there any info I can give you to hopefully solve this? I'm pretty knowledgeable in terms of getting a great working modded game, but this one mod is giving me trouble. Thanks
AWLS offers six versions of the ESP to choose from. If you choose not to use any of those six ESPs, then AWLS will give you permanently lit windows.
So, if the lights remain on 24/7 then you are not using one of the optional ESPs. Copied from the readme:
001 AdvancedESP No Smoking: Detection of Night and Day with OBSE. Windows are lit during the night until 1am and off until 5am. They are lit from 5am until the sunrise and will also be lit during rainy weather. Cathedrals are lit all night long. No smoke from the chimneys. 001 AdvancedESP Smoking Chimneys: Detection of Night and Day with OBSE. Windows are lit during the night until 1am and off until 5am. They are lit from 5am until the sunrise and will also be lit during rainy weather. Cathedrals are lit all night long. The smoke from the chimneys depends on the altitude, season, and weather conditions. 001 BasicESP No Smoking: Windows are lit from 8pm to 6am and unlit otherwise. No smoke from the chimneys. 001 BasicESP Smoking Chimneys: Windows are lit from 8pm to 6am and unlit otherwise. Smoke from the chimneys is heavy at night and light by day. 001 MediumESP No Smoking: Detection of Night and Day with OBSE. Windows are lit during the night and off during the day. Windows will be lit during rainy weather. No smoke from the chimneys. 001 MediumESP Smoking Chimneys: Detection of Night and Day with OBSE. Windows are lit during the night and off during the day.

Appreciate the response. I actually am using the AdvancedESP Smoking Chimneys esp. It is activated, and the lights are still remaining lit throughout the day. I've even tried the other esps and still no dice. I'm installing using the install wizard through wyre bash. I am 100% using the correct esp.

The Install was smooth so I have no idea what went wrong =/
I forgot to install Skybsa
It's all working now

Also, make sure you're checking when the skies are clear and ensure that OBSE is running correctly.
