📋 About This Mod
This plugin was built on the RLOInteriors add-on. If I choose to create a version based on the full version of RLO, I will do so.
RLO does a great job at improving the lighting in numerous places throughout Skyrim, but in my opinion its RGB color settings for the Default Torch light was awful. At best, some places would have a small tint of orange, at worse, some places were entirely orange! It looked like ass. So I restored the vanilla Skyrim RGB colors for the Default Torch light, while keeping the rest of RLO's changes to this record.

RLOInteriors - Default Torch Light Tweak reverts the RGB colors used by Realistic Lighting Overhaul for the default torch light record, while preserving all other RLO edits. This is a small compatibility patch for Skyrim players who prefer the original torch color but want RLO's other interior lighting changes.
