📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 159 endorsements and over 23k downloads.
- Simple concept that delivers a noticeably darker, more immersive exploration vibe.

- Potential conflicts with other lighting or overhaul mods that touch the same cells.
For Starfield players who want a creepier, more horror-like atmosphere when exploring derelict ships. If you're into immersion and don't mind a flashlight dependency, this is for you. Skip if you prefer bright, well-lit interiors or want a comprehensive lighting overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only affects specific locations, you'll want a good flashlight or headlamp mod to compensate for the darkness.
- If you're using other lighting mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
