Fixes the placement and characteristics of lights throughout Skyrim. Aspires to keep the intended vanilla feel, while actually making light come from light sources and not be absurdly bright or dark.

(Thanks, cjamesmac001!) - Fixed the fireplace fire in Fort Kastav, which was missing an Enable Parent. (Thanks, Cornathan & ikonomov!) - Changed emittance on all "sunlight" bulbs, effects, and windows in the Winking Skeever to provide better effect blending. - Some tweaking to Folgunthur to try to reduce reported flickering issue. It should be mostly fixed without a torch. With torches there is one small corner that flickers. (Thanks, CaliburnusPDX!)

Throughout this game I was bothered by the lighting...be it the fires in Dragonsreach, outside High Hrothgar, or many other places. Issues such as lights sources without lights, places where light emits from the center of two fires rather than from each one, light that just magically emitted from the middle of the room, or lights that don't illuminate the landscape. This mod aims to fix all that and more, however, some of these issues still remain (there are engine limitations). All lights come straight from a light source and all light sources produce light.
Originally I was just going to make this fix for myself but the more work I put into it I thought "hey, maybe others would like a fix for these things as well." After 50,000 subscriptions on Steam, 5000+ endorsements here (wow), getting to the point where I feel actually covering all of Skyrim is within reach, and my collaboration with JawZ I can assure you that this has gone far beyond anything I expected!
Thanks to all those who support our efforts and continue to expect the best :)

LOAD ORDER

Weather mods
Relighting Skyrim
Interior lighting mods (With no light bulb changes!)
As for other type of mods, let LOOT decide where in your specific load order is the best place them. Just keep in mind to place mod that make changes to interior ambient/fog/directional lighting after Relighting Skyrim's plugin.
Probably best to use clean save procedures, we recommend at least being outside when you save before uninstalling. Go to the Skyrim "Data" folder. Delete any .esp files starting with "Relighting Skyrim".
