📋 About This Mod

Description:
Lumière adds street lamps, lamps next to signs, lanterns outside inns plus a few other places, and general lighting in places like Imperial City Waterfront.
Street lamps follow a schedule. They are off during the day and turn on as night approaches.
Outdoors in Oblivion there's very few light sources. This aims to fix that by adding light sources where it fits.
Recommended to be used together with my other mod Enhanced Light Radius.
What does this mod cover?
- It covers all main roads plus a few extra like towards Kvatch camp, road around Skingrad etc, and it covers Imperial City Waterfront.
- It also gives inns a lantern outside to make them look more inviting.
- An optional Lighting Rebalance add-on that makes Lumiere's lamps and lanterns a more even and balanced experience.
Lumiere - Lighting Rebalanced:
Default uses light source settings that come with the game. It does not come packaged with the mod because the files go in a different folder and might be troublesome when installing with mod organizers like Vortex.
Lumiere - Lighting Rebalanced evens out light sources that Lumiere uses to be on-par or close to the strength of the main Wooden Lamp.
Performance Impact:
Not yet properly tested on low/medium hardware, but on high end the performance impact is not that much. Even with Enhanced Light Radius on 3x.
Please let me know if and where you encounter performance issues!
Current TODOs:
Make some lamp posts more interesting. Vandalism, debris etc
Redo Bruma exterior
Lite version:
Lite version is a patch for the main version of the mod. Make sure the Lite Patch is loaded AFTER the main version
main .esp files
Lumiere.esp
Lumiere Lite Patch.esp
Areas covered (not fully updated. missing some inns):
Compatiblity:
- Lumiere is compatible with everything in the sense that it will load and work. The only issue would be clipping if another mod places something in the same spot as Lumiere.
- Lumiere - Lighting Rebalanced directly alters the light sources of the lamps so it's compatible with everything other than mods that alter those specific lamps.
If you find any issues let me know and I will make a patch or update Lumiere to fix the issue.
Installation:
Safe to install mid-save
Drop in Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data
Then open Plugins.txt and add Lumiere.esp somewhere below the official .esps
Optional files: Drop the 3 files from the zip into OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks\~mods
