📋 About This Mod
The D.I.Y Darker Dungeon Mod. A.K.A: TESIV is Too Bright! Features: Dynamically reduce the intensity of atmospheric lighting for all dungeons and all public interiors by a percentage of your choosing.
SB Lighting Manager
Requires: OBSE | LINK (Optional)
The D. I. Y Darker Dungeon Mod.
• Dynamically Reduce the Intensity of Atmospheric Lighting for Dungeons and Public Interiors. ( Houses, Shops, Chapels, Etc.)
• You Choose Your Preferred Percentage Level of the Original Vanilla Lighting.
• Separate Input for Dungeon and for Public Interiors. ( Default: Dungeons 20%. Public: 50%.)
• Toggle FX Cloud Models On or Off. (The Bright Fog-Clouds Found in Dungeons and Ruins - See Screenshots Above).
• All Changes Can Be Made On the Fly Using the LINK Menu and Will Take Effect Immediately.
• Save Game Friendly. This Mod has a Very Low Footprint.
If using this mod with MOO it's probably best to disable MOO's lighting feature by changing the following settings in the Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul.ini: ( set MOO.ini_dungeon_light to -1 )
May not function well with some features of Oblivion Reloaded
OPTIONAL: For full hardcore dark dungeons try combining this mod with "All Natural - Real Lights.esp" from the mod: Weather - All Natural. It removes all fake lights from the game so that only natural light-sources remain. (For using 'Real Lights' without the rest of 'All-Natural' make sure to also use the all natural BSA renamed to "All Natural - Real Lights.bsa").
Thanks to Maskar for creating LINK.
Thanks to the OBSE team.
