📋 About This Mod

Lux Orbis is amazing. The whole Lux ecosystem is amazing. I love how understated, natural and muted it is. However, some users feel its a bit too understated in Riverwood, which is virtually pitch black at night. I miss the warm inviting feeling of getting back to Riverwood in the evening that we had in LOSII, with welcoming lights and promise of safety. GGUNIT is working on a mod to add some lights to villages, but until an official Lux addon is here: here's a small patch to adds a couple of Lux lights to the streets of Riverwood, giving it that cozy feeling we all want.

Features:

  • []Sparsely placed hanging and placed lanterns (warm light)

    []Two smaller horn candle lights by doors

    []More of the wonderful Lux Orbis window light glow on buildings, especially the Inn

    Note:

    • []This probably requires partitioned meshes, if you get flickering lights you need to make sure you're not overwriting your farmhouse meshes with non-partitioned ones.

    • I used a copy of defaultcandlelightNS for two, well, candles. This is a vanilla light source and not a Lux one, so I modified it to be weaker and slightly redder. If anyone can recommend a Lux light source to use for small candle lights instead I could replace them.
