📋 About This Mod
Lighting overhaul of the Lucky 38, based on Lucky 38 Relit by doodlum.
Adds more lights and effects, so the place is now a bit more creepier at night, and there is a light cycle in the lobby and cocktail lounge, the lights are turned on and off using a vanilla script.
I've made this to be used with Weathers Revised and Perfect Skies, haven't tested it with other weather mods, could look a lot different.
COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with everything that doesn't edit the same lights in the Lucky 38.
This mod edits only the placement, color and position of lights, nothing else is changed
Mods that restore the cut Lucky 38 climate will probably break the intended look
I didn't notice any effect on my end but the added lights and effects could impact performance a bit.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple lighting mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- Make sure you have the game's DLCs installed if the mod requires them — but the description doesn't mention any, so it might work standalone.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
