About this mod

Broken after CS Update 8.0. Obviously Mega Particles workaround for one light limit is considered "bug, not feature".

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Only works with CS (Community Shaders) up to version 7.4 + LLF (Light Limit Fix) up to CS version 1.2. CS v8.4 supports big lights again (In between versions were tinier than with ENB). Unfortunately they still do not work in 1rst person.
I'll update when they fixed this problem.

Gives you twelve different rings with different intensity and colour to stack and combine.
All you need is a ingame Forge or something like AddItem Menu.
Flagged as ESL.

As there are more than enough light mods out there, I consider this more a prove of concept, albeit an absolutely functional and playable one.
You can even use it with ENB, but you'll only get a tiny, not really useable light radius.
At ttime of publishing ENB only supports small radii with shadows, CS LLF mega ones but no shadows.
No shadow rendering means less impact on the GPU - can't ge it to scream even with all rings equipped.

The lights of all rings but the Darkness, Rainbow and Sneak Ring are set to vanish when entering sneak mode and reappear when moving normal again.

And yes, ironically only the Darkness Ring uses a small but powerful negative light.
Everything else is lit up with particles. Three per ring, but theoretically you can do it with just one.

Set up with lower intensity to accomodate my old, sensitive eyes, but you could "white out" Blackreach wit one or two fat particles.
Opposite to ENB-Particles their light IS detected by NPCs likeregular  ingame lightsources because they are rendered ingame and not post-processed.
They can be as big as you want (size 255 still works for me): Look at the last image
They can (with appropriate EffectShaderPropertyController) flicker, change color etc...

Technically one still has the "one real light limit" (here used for a negative light on the darkness Ring), but you can use all rings but the Darkness one and at the same time cast candlelight.

Do not Use only the Darkness Ring, even if that one is a dirty cheat!!
(But it's the only one that still works - minus the LLF-glow.)


Have fun!


Install the Requirements to get this to function as intended.
Some of that stuff, like Engine Fixes and SKSE related mods will already be in your Installation.
