📋 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

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
