I love Arthmoor's Alternative Beginnings mod.  It's the best Alternate Start mod for Oblivion.  However, I don't know about you, but I got sick of having a character that looks like he/she has been on a lifelong diet of nothing but carrots and oranges as I try to create my character durring FaceGen.  Well, this simple little plugin changes the awful yellow lighting in Alternative Beginnings character creation cell into a normalized grey tone so you can better customize you character, specifically the skin tones.  No more sickly orange skin caused by the yellow lighting, just natural skin tones.

Disclaimer:
This mod is not a Patch, nor does it contain any assets.  It's simply a small, Bashed Patch mergeable plugin, that alters the color of five of the lightbulbs in character creation cell provided by Arthmoor's Alternative Beginnings mod.  Plugin requires Alternate Beginnings as a Master file to function.  If there is any issue, please contact me first and I will remove the mod immediately.


Compatibility/issues:

Will not work on any other Alternate Start mod.  Only works on Arthmoor's Alternative Beginnings mod.

Obviously, you need to start a New Game to experience the changes from this mod.  You can install it on an existing game, but you will not see any changes at it only effect the lights in the Alternative Beginnings Character Creation cell.  But you can install it so it's ready for you next Character build.

Plugin is also designed be mergeable into a Bashed Patch so it doesn't use up additional plugin space.  I recommend the most current version of Wrye Bash, because older versions might have problems with merging the plugin.


Regarding ENB/Oblivion Reloaded and interior lighting mods:

Any ENB presets will most likely effect the color of the lighting.  Oblivion Reloaded might also change the coloring as well.  This mod was designed for Vanilla lighting, as I do not use ENB or OR.

Completely compatible with any interior lighting mods as long as they do not specifically contain any direct changes to Alternative Beginnings itself.  This plugin only changes the Light Bulbs in Alternative Beginnings Character Creation cell and doesn't effect any of the vanilla light bulbs.  Does not touch cell color/lighting.


Load Order:

Place right after Alternative Beginnings.esp, but before any interior overhaul or lighting mods, like Darker Dungeons, Cava Obscura, etc.
