📋 About This Mod

Yeah - you know the drill! First time doing an addon for existing mod HopeTown expanded :)

Rabbit's Real Lights HopeTown expanded (addon)

This is from my mod series

Rabbit's Real Lights HopeTown

Rabbit's Real Lights New Atlantis

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 roughly 100 handplaced light sources

    []Enhance visibility of the existing mod with tweaked lights and added some objects for realism

    Important notes:

    • []For any feedback or errors, please leave it in the comment section

      []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 in the exterior, so there shouldnt be any conflicts with other mods like ELFX which focus on interior lights.

      []Any LUT and ENB will work with this mod

    • Load this smart master mod at the end of your load order and AFTER HOPETOWN EXPANDED!

      For best visual results I 

      highly recommend to download my init settings

      . Additionally i recommend these mods for best ambient (as seen in the screenshots):

      - Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters

      - Starfield HD Overhaul

      - Quantum Reshade

      - Royal Weathers - An Immersive Starfield Climate Overhaul

      ENDORSE if you like my work, so others can see it :)

      or be a hero and donate to help me pay the rent
