📋 About This Mod
A very simple mod that makes the nights very short, and the days very long. Daytime now lasts 23. 5 hours in game time.
Sunset now begins at 11:40pm and ends at 11:50pm.
Sunrise now begins at midnight and ends at 12:10am.
(As standard, the sunset time is from 5pm to 9pm; sunrise is from 5am to 9am.)
This mod has TWO versions:
- No DLC - the only thing it requires is the vanilla Fallout 4 game.
- With DLC: Far Harbor & Nuka-World - support for the three regions
Mod Conflicts & Incompatibilities
This mod will probably conflict with any other mod that changes weather and/or climate.
Perks: Solar Powered & Night Person
This will not affect the Solar Powered and Night Person perks. Both perks depend on the time of day (6am/6pm), not the position of the sun in the sky.
But Why Do This?
- Personal preference - I much prefer exploring the Commonwealth in the daytime, and this mod is scratching that itch.
- Settlement building - is easier in the daytime.
- Xbox/PS4 players (and Survival mode, too) - can't access the console to change the time of day, or set the timescale to achieve a similar effect
Tech Details
All I’ve changed are a few Climate forms, using Creation Kit. I’ve tweaked the time sliders for “Sunrise Begin”, “Sunrise End”, “Sunset Begin”, and “Sunset End”.
In the “No DLC” version, just “DefaultClimate”.
In the “Commonwealth, Nuka-World and Far Harbor” version, “DefaultClimate”, “DLC03AcadiaClimate”, “DLC03FarHarborClimate”, and “DLC04DefaultClimate”.
No other settings were changed.
A simple weather and lighting mod that drastically shortens nights to 10 minutes and extends days to 23.5 hours, with sunset from 11:40pm to 11:50pm and sunrise from midnight to 12:10am. For players who prefer daytime gameplay and want to minimize nighttime.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective – does exactly what it says
- Community-trusted (210 endorsements)
- Lightweight mod with no extra bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Makes nighttime nearly nonexistent, which may break night-specific gameplay
- Last updated in 2020, so may have compatibility issues with newer game versions
- No config options – you get the preset times, no tweaking
For players who hate dealing with darkness and want to enjoy the game almost entirely in daylight. Also great for builders or explorers who find night time tedious. Skip if you like the challenge of night survival or want adjustable day/night cycles.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible, since the mod hasn't been updated since 2020
- If you use other weather or time mods, load this one last to ensure it takes effect
- Test in a new save to see if the timing feels right for your playstyle
