Tamriel Master Lights is a complete exteriors lighting overhaul. It replaces a huge amount of lighting sources with shadow casting ones without causing any light flickering issues. This highly improves realism, immersion and atmosphere expecially during the night time.
Tamriel Master Lights doesn't touch any settlement if not slightly, this thing make it compatible with all those mods that overhauls minor cities, villages and farms.
TML comes in two version, the standard and the cities one, the latter is not recommended for all those who use mods that overhaul the five major cities, except for JK Skyrim for which there is a patch downloadable from the download section, if you want to use this patch the JK "No Lights patch" isn't required.
The difference between the two versions lies in the fact that the "Cities" one revolutionizes lighting even inside the 5 major cities worldspaces, while the standard doesn't touch them at all.

-------------
This is the "standalone" version of the one included in my Lanterns Of Skyrim II mod. Do not download and install it if you have the LoS II version already installed, same for its LoS II patches.


How exactly does Tamriel Master Light work?

The two screenshots below show the differences between the shadow casting lights used in Tamriel Master Lights and those that do not cast shadows used in an unmodded Skyrim

  • Added a huge amount of shadow casting light with no flickering issues
  • A complete exteriors lighting overhaul that includes Skyrim worldspace + all DLCs
  • Flying Insect around lanterns
  • All lanterns are moved by the wind by default
  • High quality assets
  • All lanterns used are ENB light compatible

 if you want both the lanterns and signs movable by the wind, you can download my mod WiZkiD Signs

for a better visual result its higly reccomended to use an ENB



Fully Compatible with

Enhanced Lights and FX main , Enhancer and Hardcore plugins
Realistic Lighting Overhaul Interiors and Effects plugins
Luminosity

Despite Blowing in the Wind is not necessary for the lanterns, you can still use it for the movable signs and if you want to take advantage of its patches that add the "movable by the wind" feature to other mods added lanterns


Not Compatible with

Relighting Skyrim SSE (a patch could be made in the near future)
Claralux SSE
ELFX - Exteriors.esp
RLO - Exteriors.esp
Lux Orbis


I highly recommend you to use Torch Remover by grvulture, expecially if you chose to install TML - Cities version
but If you want to finally get rid of flickering lights issues even with NPCs using a torch I higly suggest you to download and install Flickering Meshes Fixes.





Download and install the version you prefer (Cities) or the standard one, with your favourite mod manager.
Tamriel Master Lights.esp must be placed after SMIM-SE-Merged-All.esp, EnhancedLightsandFX.esp, ELFX Fixes.esp, Blowing in the Wind SSE.esp and RLO - Interiors.esp.
