I added an update to WeReLight REDUX. This update keeps the saturation and contrast from previous iteration but adds a few features.
Namely Fire, Frost (previously credited to iRetrospect for Inferno and Arctic) and Lightning FX (Electrify by Ramccoid), plus several effects from the late great Ramccoid:

SOUL at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)
DOOR at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)
Also, I added Luminous Atronachs LE at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) by Raxyx7.
Ramccoid's work has been installed at 512px, except for Soul, which is at 1024 (I'm trying to keep a compromise between quality and performance, to potentiate a more fluid gameplay).
Inferno and Arctic FX were installed at Vanilla definition, with no mesh changes.
Choose this or WeReLight ReDeLuxe. A word about installing mid-game, this allows you to update from previous REDUX iteration (1.0) with no issues, as it carries the same name. You might need to reconfigure the book (by the way, sometimes the book doesn't spawn in player's inventory. I'm addressing this ASAP by placing a copy of the book in Kynareth Temple in Whiterun in next update, but for now you need to add it to your inventory through AddItemMenu or similar).

I just added WeReLight ReDeLuxe, which is a retweaked WeReLight that comes with Particle Patch for ENB, an overhaul of elemental fire, ice and lightning visuals and other visual effects, plus a more extensively tweaked .ini.
WARNING: If you use ENB and the shadows look strange, go into the .ini text file and change SSAO from 1 to 0.
Highly recommended (what I'm using now), install latest ENB series, then overwrite with Caffeine ENB, then overwrite with Kwanon ENB.
You don't need ENB I think, just WeReLight ReDeLuxe should be enough for interesting gameplay, but that's up to you.
If your machine struggles with ENB, try turning off Complex Grass in ENB menu.

Thank you so much for Hot Mods! First time for me after almost three years of activity!
I've gone and remade WeReLight - Weathers Redone and Lighting Enhancements (my Special Edition environments mod that replaces a weathers mod and a lighting mod) for Legendary Edition.
I still play Legendary Edition quite a lot, and am making a few mods to implement several features with one plugin only, as besides simplifying the process of installing a mod list and being less prone to errors between the included changes, the lack of ESL flags in LE makes it extremely important to save those ESP slots.
It is for my personal use and I'm sharing in the hopes these will be useful to the community.
It is mostly the same as in Special Edition, but instead of backporting I remade it from scratch (tweaks, merge, conform to USLEEP changes, 100 hours testing) to ensure compatibility with Skyrim's 32 bit version.
This is a carefully tweaked merge of several mods whose authors I would like to thank for their work and generous permissions.
Features:
- Four environment mods into one.
- Dynamic weathers and seasons,
- Six colour scheme presets,
- extended and pronounced shadows (respecting shadow sneaking values),
- window shadows,
- darker dungeons,
- taverns and inns vanilla-friendly ambiance overhaul,
- new candles,
- edited lights.
Compatibility:
Foreword: I made this mod for myself, to use instead of Lux/ELFX, Cathedral Weathers and a darker dungeons mod. This is in line with my view of how Inns and Taverns should look like in Skyrim, meaning this makes object additions to VANILLA taverns. I don't use tavern enhancement overhauls apart from this, so any mod that makes radical changes to the composition, size or placed objects within Inns will conflict with this.
This mod is not supposed to need combining with any other lighting or weathers mod. If you must combine it, combine with an ENB only. Rudy ENB may be too dark for you, in that case I can also recommend HHaley's Kwanon ENB, or please search for a preset you like yourself.
It is not compatible with other weather mods, mods that make changes to imagespace, mods that make edits to lights. (just test it by itself, if you want test other stuff over it but remember, this is one plugin, and other plugins you add may overwrite changes instead of adding to them).
The lighting can be overriden by any mods that have edited cell records.
ENB ShadowCastersFix must be disabled with this mod.
Otherwise, window shadows will disappear.
enbseries.ini
[SHADOW]
ShadowCastersFix=false
I won't be making additional changes or patches for mods I don't use. You can suggest a patch, but I reserve the right to make it or not. I am currently busy with college and some other modding projects, so I appreciate your understanding.
If you enjoy this mod and/or my work in general, please take a moment to endorse.
