💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's scripted, make sure you have SKSE installed if required by the mod (though not stated, it's common for scripted mods).
- Test in different weather and time-of-day conditions to see if the lighting suits your taste.
- If you have other lighting mods, consider placing this one lower in your load order to avoid conflicts.
