I would like to start by thanking people without whom this project would not have been possible in development and completion. First of all MannyGT who granted me permission to make this new version of his magnificent Lanterns Of Skyrim. Secondly, Toostruus, who helped me by patiently testing every new update and finding bugs and issues. And finally Amon for his valuable advices regarding the aesthetic aspects of the various lightposts and textures I created.
With this new 4.0 version LoS II - Tamriel Master Lights.esp has been merged with Lanterns Of Skyrim II.esm and this makes it a complete overhaul of all Skyrim exterior lighting system. This will not only save a plugin slot but will make it easier to update the entire mod if necessary. I have personally taken steps to update all the patches, including those included in the various collections created by Janquel.

LoS II - Lantern Workers.espLoS II - Lantern Workers adds a lantern maintenance system. In each region there will be a workshop where lantern maintenance staff works. Lantern workers have scheduled tasks and real life for each day of the week and in addition to taking care of the various workshops, they will travel throughout Skyrim alone or escorted by one or two guards to check and repair lightposts. This first release includes the Solitude Workshop only but there are other new workshops ready to be implemented in the next releases of this addon.
