📋 About This Mod
During the quest Lights Out!, the play is tasked with turning the solitude lighthouse off. Unfortunately it does not get turned on in vanilla. This mod will automatically relight the lighthouse during the quest. Most importantly, this is retroactive if you have already completed the quest.
In addition, the light can be seen from far away such as from the Proudspire Manor balcony.
Features
- Mod is an .esl file. It was made in xEdit by stripping it out of my own personal mod

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 1,617 endorsements and 238,180 downloads—clearly a popular solution.
- Tiny mod that does one thing and does it well: no bloat, just the lighthouse fix.
- Works seamlessly with the quest, so you don't have to manually toggle anything.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version (though likely still works).
- Only fixes the Solitude lighthouse; other lighthouse bugs in the game remain untouched.
For Skyrim players who hate immersion-breaking bugs and want the Solitude lighthouse to actually light up after the quest. Perfect for completionists and roleplayers who notice these details. Skip if you're on the latest version and worried about compatibility, or if you don't care about lighthouse aesthetics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple ESP/ESL file, just drop it into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure to enable the plugin in your load order—it should be placed after any mods that alter Solitude or the lighthouse.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or if the original works—some old mods need conversion.
