📋 About This Mod
Information: This is my own personal mashup and edit of assets from various open permission sources to create a subtle, but high quality sun.
- The textures are in 2k and should not affect performance negatively.
The base sun texture is based on Godric's Smooth Sky, and the sun_default texture from the RWLE dump.
- It should help with sky grain removal, I have not noticed any sky grain using these textures.
- The sun-glare texture is based off Hi-Def sky, and other open source assets.
If these don't show up in game: leave a comment and include the name of the weather mod you use so I can make a patch.
- This will work by default with vanilla weather and with weather mods that use the default file paths for sun and sun-glare.
ENB users: you may need to tweak the sun settings under and to get it to look best.
-Settings to tweak, and examples of my settings:
SunIntensity=0. 75
SunCoronaIntensity=0. 75
SunCoronaCurve=1. 4
SunRaysMultiplier=1. 25
Available files:
- Main file: compatible with vanilla weather, TTW, Tint Removers, and weather mods that don't change sun and sunglare file paths.
Also should work for: Altitude, Supreme Weather, 47 Weathers, Vibrant Weathers, HDR Weather and Color, Western Sky and more.
- RWL file: version for Realistic Wasteland Lighting.
- Nevada Skies file: version for Nevada Skies.
