📋 About This Mod
Just some patches I made for Standard Lighting Templates (StandardLightingTemplates_USSEP_5 1. 2) by cyberrumor.
That mod allows you to achieve a)
pitch-black darkness
and b) consistency.The mod edits lighting templates and some cells' stats. Patches either fix conflicting cell edits, or "standartify" new templates, or apply settings to new cells for further consistency.
No installer, so check what you install yourself.
Beware that most Lux patches here were made for version 4. 2, which is now outdated
. Do not install old Lux patches unlesss you know what you're doing. Always check old patches. (Archived links for those old Lux patches are available here: 1, 2, 3).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 132 endorsements, so it's got some love.
- Does exactly what it says: makes interiors properly dark, no half-measures.
- Small download and simple patch, so it won't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it might be stale if the game has had updates since.
- Very dark interiors might be too much for some—could make dungeons a pain without a torch.
- Compatibility risk with other lighting mods that also touch interior templates.
For players who want a more hardcore, realistic lighting experience where interiors are genuinely dark and you need a light source. If you're into immersion and don't mind the challenge, this is for you. Skip if you prefer brighter, more forgiving interiors or use other lighting overhauls that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base Standard Lighting Templates mod installed, as these patches are meant to override it.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test in a dark dungeon first to see if the darkness level is to your liking—you can always adjust with other mods.
