About this mod

This mod reduces interior ambient lighting, interior fog, exterior lighting at night and exterior fog when the weather is clear.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Also available for XBox One.

This mod makes the following changes:
  • Reduce interior ambient lighting.
  • Reduce interior fog.
  • Reduce exterior lighting at night.  Brightness values have been adjusted to create more realistic lighting and a seamless skyline for each individual weather at night, sunset and sunrise.
  • Reduce exterior fog when the weather is clear.
  • Increase AI sight for sneak detection.  An adjustment has been made to compensate for the reduced interior and exterior ambient lighting resulting in a more realistic sneak detection in well-lit places.

The intent is to create a more natural lighting by reducing and balancing interior and exterior ambient fog and lighting while still allowing adequate visibility. 

The .esp file has been flagged as an ESL mod.  ESL mods do not count towards the 255 mod limit.

Both interior and exterior lighting mods should be assumed incompatible.  Exterior lighting changes are applied to weather records including one added by USSEP, making it a requirement.  This mod can be placed anywhere in the load order, but in order to use the modified interior lighting it needs to load after mods that change interior cells.

All files and modifications have been created specifically for this mod.  I wish to express my thanks to TheMilesO (Darker Interior Ambient Fog), unforbidable (Darker Nights), BourneMcReady (Reduced Fog) and OlivierDoorenbos (Realistic AI Detection SE) for inspiring the creation of this mod.
