📋 About This Mod
This is a patch I have made for a popular location replacer made by Hylios Skyes called HSWhiterun Warmaiden's and for Lux, as such both mods are required, as well as their prerequisites.
Please Make sure that this loads after the Realm of Lorkhan - Custom Alternate Start - Choose your own adventure.esp, if you use Realm of Lorkhan, otherwise the location will be way brighter as it overrides the lighting template, if you want it to be brighter, then you can ignore this
Please tell me if you notice any flickering (I know there is one spot on the basement celling that can do so), the bug report section will be open for this reason. Description will be below:
HS does have a lux patch on his mod page however like the one for The Bannered Mare that mod it reverts all changes made by lux reverting it to the vanilla lighting, and l in this case looks too bright and washed out, It is brighter then the outside for me..., so I gave the place more contrast.
A compatibility patch that replaces HSWhiterun Warmaiden's lighting with Lux-style lighting, ensuring visual consistency for Skyrim modders using both mods. Requires HSWhiterun Warmaiden's and Lux. With 88 endorsements and 41k downloads, it's a niche but proven fix for lighting conflicts.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (41k downloads, 88 endorsements) shows it's widely used and trusted
- Solves a real problem: lighting conflicts between HSWhiterun and Lux
- Simple patch, does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both HSWhiterun Warmaiden's and Lux, so it's useless without them
- Only affects one location (Whiterun's Warmaiden's), so limited scope
- Potential load order conflicts with Realm of Lorkhan if not placed correctly
For Skyrim modders who use HSWhiterun Warmaiden's and Lux and want consistent lighting. Skip if you don't use both mods or don't care about lighting consistency in that shop.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Realm of Lorkhan, place this patch after it in your load order to avoid lighting resets.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to ensure the patch loads after both required mods.
- Check your load order with LOOT to catch any conflicts with other lighting mods.
