Relighting Skyrim SE

Skyrim LE Version |  Xbox One Version

Relighting Skyrim (RS) corrects the lighting design throughout Skyrim. The largest correction made is placing light references (invisible objects that produce light) at their sources (i.e., candles, fires, etc.). This alone corrects many vanilla issues such as sources that produce no light, light emitting from the center of two sources, light that is produced without a source, lights that don't illuminate the landscape, and much more!

Beyond correcting light placements, RS also adjusts individual light reference characteristics such as brightness (aka fade), radius, etc. This ensures the light provided by each light source matches the light one would expect from such a source. For example, a candle's light in a small room would hit all walls within that room. Therefore, RS ensures a candle in the game behaves the same way; realistically lighting the area around it.

In addition to lights, emittance on effects such as beams, fogs, glows, mists, windows, etc. have been adjusted to emit light from the light sources they are placed around. All these effects around natural light sources, as well as, interior windows are adjusted to emit with the region's weather. This causes these effects and windows to change their color tint based on time-of-day and exterior weather conditions.

In all of this, Relighting Skyrim aspires to keep the vanilla look and feel.

FEATURES

• []Proper placement of lightbulbs at their light sources[/]

  []Many more shadow casting lightbulbs vs vanilla to create the best ambience possible[/]

  []Natural, dynamic lighting that changes with the time of day and weather conditions[/]

  []Fixes lightbulbs not casting light on to the landscape in exteriors[/]

  []Retains the vanilla visual style and performance[/]

  []JITR is utilized in some interiors to provide more lights than vanilla limits allows[/]

  Keep in mind many interiors are pushed up to the edge of the light limit. These are interiors where players shouldn't logically use spells or torches (homes, inns, longhouses, shops, etc). Therefore, players are cautioned that using spells or torches in these types of interiors may cause light flicker. Caves, dungeons, mines, etc., where the player may use a spell or torch, will typically allow only one (1) spell or torch to be present before light flicker may occur.
