Simple Interiors Darkening
on the fly darkening of any interior cell without per-cell customization/color storage, but trying to keep cell color balance
color conversion stolen from amazing Weather Adjuster mod by Hrnchamd
Note that this mod is meant to work well with mods increasing lights radius, but will conflict with other mods changing cell stored ambient/sun/fog values
Darkening is a gameplay mod for Morrowind that darkens any interior cell on the fly, without per-cell customization or color storage. It uses an MCM panel for adjustments, but changes only apply to unvisited cells due to caching. With 35 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche utility for players wanting dynamic interior lighting.
