📋 About This Mod
possible in development and completion.
First of all MannyGT who granted me permission to make this new version of his magnificent Lanterns Of Skyrim.
Secondly, Toostruus, who helped me by patiently testing every new update and finding bugs and issues. And finally
Amon for his valuable advices regarding the aesthetic aspects of the various lightposts and textures I created.
With this new 4. 0 version LoS II - Tamriel Master Lights.esp has been merged with Lanterns Of Skyrim II.esm and this makes it a complete overhaul of all Skyrim exterior lighting system. This will not only save a plugin slot but will make it easier to update the entire mod if necessary. I have personally taken steps to update all the patches, including those included in the various collections created by Janquel.
