📋 About This Mod
Exactly as it says. Hattix' Fellout NV mod is great, imho.. clearer days, clearer nights.. and the nights are truly frightening. :)
But the Friend of the Night perk barely lets you see your hand in front of your face. This mod removes the "tint" overlay effects from FOTN and fades, and allows you enough light to navigate - but not enough to read the sunday funnies, as in vanilla.
Friend of the Night for Fellout is a small compatibility patch that removes the tint effects from the Friend of the Night perk and brightens the outdoor effect, making the perk useful when using Hattix' Fellout mod. With 440 endorsements and over 7,000 downloads, it's a niche fix for Fallout 3 players who want a more functional perk in darker environments.
