✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- High download-to-endorsement ratio (62k downloads) shows it's widely used and appreciated
- Simple concept that adds significant visual immersion to a beloved DLC area
- Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul the game, just improves the vibe
⚠️ Cons

For Fallout: New Vegas players who love the Sierra Madre and want to make it feel more alive without heavy overhauls. If you're a completionist who explores every corner of the DLC, this adds a subtle but nice touch. Skip if you rarely visit the Sierra Madre or prefer full-scale lighting overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- If you use other lighting mods, load this one after them to ensure the window lights appear correctly.
- Check the mod's comments section for any reported conflicts with popular mods like Nevada Skies or ENB presets.
