📋 About This Mod
Tired of unlogical lamp placements or unlit walking routes? Ever looked at white decals and asked yourself is this a light or a bug? This mod got you covered!
With my very first mod I tried to change things into a more realistic and more light up ambient!
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE UPDATED FREQUENTLY WITH NEW ADDED LIGHTS AND QOL IMPROVEMENTS
This is from my mod series

Rabbit's Real Lights Neon
Rabbit's Real Lights HopeTown
Rabbit's Real Lights Paradiso
Rabbit's Real Lights Akila City
Rabbit's Real Lights Gagarin
Rabbit's Real Lights Cydonia
Rabbit's Real Lights Landing Pads
download those if you missed them :)
This mod makes the following changes:
-
[]Adding over 700+ handplaced light sources [/]
[]Enhance visibility and give new atlantis a more welcoming atmosphere[/]
[]Fixes "broken" lamps and makes them light up again[/]
[]Added big lights to the landing pads to see spaceships at night[/]
[]Added lanterns in different places[/]
[]Added some more lifely scenery in some places (just for fun)[/]
Important notes:
-
[]Im happy for any advice or errors in the post sections[/]
[]Be aware that the engine does not turn off the lighting at daytime, so potatoe pcs might be having a hard time[/]
[]Basically i just added stuff without changing existing obejcts, so there shouldnt be any conflicts with other mods.[/]
For best visual results I
highly recommend to download my init settings
.
Additionally i recommend these mods for best ambient:
- Starfield HD Overhaul
- Quantum Reshade
- New Atlantis Lights On REDUX
