DIAL (default interior template) + Window Shadows Ultimate + Placed Light: 
DIAL transforms interiors into living spaces that respond to the passage of time.
Days are bright white, mimicking the intensity of midday sunlight.
Sunset and sunrise are warm with an orange tint.
Nights are dark with a blue tint consistent with the cool tones of nocturnal conditions.
DIAL simulates the ambient lighting of exterior sources and therefore only affects dwellings with windows. It does not affect interior lighting sources such as candles and fires.
Use the optional dark or bright plugin to match your lighting mod setup and personal preference.
DIAL has its own text channel on 'The Cistern' Discord server:
Compatible with all lighting mods and any combination of lighting mods.

Weather Syncing:
DIAL works by injecting interior weathers that override lighting templates.
These weathers are synced with exterior weathers with a simple script that only runs during cell loading.
The script is non persistent so it is safe to install or uninstall mid playthrough.
