Dynamic Display Settings
This is a very work-in-progress WIP project and as such comes with no guarantees or warranty regarding safety or function. Please make sure to read this description before deciding to use it and do not run it on that super important save you have no backups for or expect the mod to be uninstallable without problems either immediately or down the road.
Have you found it hard to set up your visual settings so they work under all circumstances, dark, bright, day or night? Or maybe you made a perfect Reshade preset that made cities look stunning only to find the settings made the dark and atmospheric dungeons look anything but, well, dark and atmospheric. If so this mod is (hopefully) for you!
Dynamic Display Settings (DDS) attempts to make this easier by making it possible to have display settings adjust automatically to your preference taking both in game location and time into consideration! This functionality is divided into two main modules:Interiors module Interiors are detected through attached keywords which then is used to generate a unique identifier. Changing the locations visual settings will then also affect all other interiors sharing the same keywords.
Exterior module All exterior areas are treated as the same location and share the same settings. However this does not mean they're always stuck with the same ones. By detecting time of day - dawn, day, dusk and night the mod will apply the relate custom appearance. If you're dissatisfied with the time slots these are divided to or use mods that alter the daycycle you can also specify when they start and begin yourself.

Bloom Radius Bloom Scale Bloom Threshold Red tint Green tint Blue tint For details about the engine bloom please see this link. As noted by the default bloom threshold value 0. 6 it's fairly low so if you want less glowing and shiny everything increasing this should do the trick. Depending on preference values up to 0. 85-0. 95 here are perfectly viable, drastically reducing the effect to only truly bright sou
