Lux

IMPORTANT:

Lux Via resources (if you're not using the mod, just download the resource pack) and Lux patch hub are now hard requirements.

First includes all needed resources I'm relying on (lanterns and braziers), Second includes all Lux official patches. I separated both pages upon request cause the mod is now way too massive for me to update or even manage it. I'll also help users who just need to update their patches or resources without installing everything from scratch.

Lux main goal is to improve interior spaces lighting consistency, especially for ENB users. I've reworked vanilla features and assets from scratch, rebuilt lights and carefully placed them by hand. Lux is not about fancy features or placement tweaks but a complete rework of vanilla game and mods lighting.

Consistency has always been a priority, I've always found consistency more important than actual realism, thus I prefer to focus on a cinematic lighting approach more than a purely realistic one especially since Skyrim engine is limiting a lot what can be done through lighting only.

As a general rule, if there's a light source, then there's light. Expect darker environments where there's no light.

If you like my mods and want to support me, feel free to visit my Patreon. Even if you're not donating you can still download my next project beta for free and try it out before it's even released. Supporting existing mods and working on new ones as well is really time consuming so any kind of support is highly appreciated. You can also join my discord to get all recent updates before they hit the Nexus or even talk about modding.

- Lighting and visual FX rework of interior cells, including some exterior worldspace cells that made sense, mostly dungeons.

- Rework light bulbs from scratch, new lighting templates, new placements, new image spaces and lighting templates as neutral as possible Most fake lights have been removed so only light bulbs create light, not fake lighting. As a result stealth may be easier in completely dark environments. Breaking news, it's easier to hide in complete darkness.

- Shadow casting lights are limited so i've tried to make them as useful as possible. I've focused on natural light sources from pits, windows, occuli or chimneys. I'm also relying on lightswitch scripts on many patches to bypass the 4 shadowcasting lights limit, you can thank Bethesda for the 10 years old script and Drengin who told me about it since he was already using it in his awesome Blue Terrace Palace.

- Many vanilla lighting bugs or consi
