📋 About This Mod
Introdution:
This is just a personal retexture of the Sun for Skyrim SE i really didn't like how Bethesda replace the Sun and i think it's not so immersive My Sun will bring a little more of immersion, it's a soft retextures that add some godrays and extention in the sky and soft the glare of the sun
Perfect with Dolomite Weathers compatible with Vanilla,vivid weather , not compatible with Climates of Tamriel ( CoT actually has a good sun) compatible with Enbs (tested with Sin xtreme Realism ENB)
The mod is still a WIP (work in progress)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and simple—just a sun retexture, no bloat
- Works with Vivid Weather, so you don't have to ditch your weather mod
- Community-tested with 340 endorsements and 6.5k downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches the sun—no other visual changes, so it's a niche pick
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be actively maintained for newer Skyrim SE versions
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the sun or godrays, so check your load order
For Skyrim SE players who want a subtle, more realistic sun without overhauling their entire weather setup. If you're using Vivid Weather and feel the default sun is too bright or fake, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for major visual overhauls or if you're on a mod list that already changes the sun.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod after Vivid Weather in your load order to ensure the sun retexture takes priority.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file placement needed.
- Check for conflicts with other sun or godray mods; if you see weird visuals, try moving this mod lower in your load order.
