Rabbit's Real Lights & Landscapes

👹🗻🧙‍♂️🌳🧛‍♂️

No more grey lumen palette and pitted landscapes! Time for some real ambient shadows, lush flora and visibile long distance bouncing lights - all these within just a few engine tweaks!

This is a succesor of my Starfield mod Real Lights INI Tweaks :3

Features of this mod:

- Better Foliage handling with much more realistic density and scale

- Better shadow render settings with accurate sunlighting and ambient light reflections and render distance

- Better Nanite noding and lumen reflections

- Better Ambient occlusion and SSAO quality

- Better LOD scaling and volumetic clouds

- Better Global illumination and reflection denoiser

COMPARISON SLIDE

Installation:

- add the lines from the downloaded file to you engine.ini which should be located at

%UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows

- save the file

- Start your game and enjoy!

Do a backup of your engine.ini just in case. To uninstall delete these added lines.

If you are a fan of real dark lighting i highly recommend to use my reshade preset "Rabbit's Realistic Oblivion Reshade" (Top 7 reshade on nexus)

ENDORSE and VOTE if you like my work, so others can see it :)
