📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 8,764 endorsements and over 746k downloads
- Works across SE, AE, and VR so it's a one-stop lighting fix
- Actively maintained (updated May 2026) so it's current with patches
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Community Shaders framework, so it's not a standalone mod
- Visual changes are subtle; if you're after a total overhaul, this won't blow you away
For Skyrim players who want more cohesive lighting that matches the celestial bodies without overhauling the whole look. Perfect for modders who already use Community Shaders and want that extra polish. Skip if you're looking for dramatic visual changes or don't want to mess with dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Community Shaders installed first, and load Sky Sync after it in your mod order.
- If you're on VR, double-check that your mod manager supports VR-specific loadouts to avoid conflicts.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file placement—manual install can get messy with multiple patches.
