Thank you to StergioValente for these short videos showing Ambience's realistic flickering torch effect
and also working alongside Paraphernalia - Magicka


Skyrim's game engine has a very large number of settings that can be tweaked in many ways.

The purpose of Ambience is to tweak many of those settings to deliver a more realistic and balanced lighting and FX experience.

Load Ambience near the very bottom of your ESP load order
Ensure all files take priority otherwise the shadow casting torch will not work correctly

Ambience makes NO Worldspace or Cell Edits - this means your preferred Weathers, Acoustic Spaces, Encounter Zones, Music and Lighting Mods all take priority and are not overridden by Ambience

In Skyrimprefs.ini - change below to at least 1500

iMaxDesired=

  • The most realistic torch flicker effect in Skyrim
  • Now includes an infinite timescale shadow casting torch for increased realism and immersion
  • All Lights (candles, flames, torches, street lights) now have more natural RGB values
  • Blurs, Tints have been toned down to reduce those eye murdering Transition FX (eg. at the steps of Bleak Falls Barrows)
  • Depth of Field settings have been normalised to allow your chosen DoF mod or ENB to deliver the effect as intended
  • Relevant Lights (candles as one example) now have a very realistic flicker effect
  • HDR/Eye Adaptation thresholds have been optimised to avoid lengthy or unnatural transitions 
  • All Bloom values have been set to zero so as to let your weather, lighting and ENB take control
  • We have normalised Cinematic Saturation, Contrast and Brightness values to provide full colour consistency
  • Lights now have a wider spread and we have altered the fade values for more natural coverage
  • And lots of other changes including Interior Fog, Specularity and Sunlight
