📋 About This Mod
Expands the exterior lighting of Skyrim based on Realistic Lighting Overhaul. Mostly covers areas not touched by RLO and even fixes a few areas.
Realistic Lighting Overhaul - Exteriors adds light sources to most cities and towns. Even adds some lighting to the roads leading to cities and towns.
This mod focuses on covering areas that RLO does not. This addon mod will add multiple light bulbs to the outside of buildings and roads near settlements. Everything done in this expansion is made with vanilla assets. No custom effects or assets here!
Version 0. 1 - Adds exterior lighting to Winterhold buildings.
Version 0. 2 - Adjustments to lights. Added lights to Winterhold bridge and town entrances.
Version 0. 3 - Added exterior lighting to Falkreath.
Version 0. 4 - Added exterior lighting to Morthal and Dawnstar
Version 0. 5 - Added exterior lighting to Solitude
In the future, I plan to add the DLC lands some love too. Maybe this could turn into a complete road lighting overhaul; but, we shall see!
As with any lighting overhaul, this mod is not compatible with any other lighting mod that touches the same locations. My mod is only compatible with RLO - or vanilla. If for some reason your wish to use this mod as a standalone lighting, YOU will have to remove RLO - Exteriors as a master. RLO does not have any custom assets, accept a few scripts. My addon could be used without RLO, but is a master to my mod because my addon attempts to replicate RLO's lighting style and will probably not look good with any other lighting mod.
ALSO, the visuals one may get with this mod are highly subject to your ENB setup. As for my screenshots, NLA - Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB SE is used with minimal adjustments.
Permission is given to any mod author wanting to make patches. I will not make patches for clutter mods like JK's Skyrim or any mod that makes significant changes to the locations my mod touches.
Snipey360 has permission to port this mod to Xbox.
