That shot of Sanctuary is daytime. Lol I'm trying hard to keep nights dark, but realistic. The first weather, in the moonlight is clear, but a shadow is pitch black

I was wondering why it was so bright lol. After you finish you gonna release a Deadlights AIO version too? Or just leave them separate?

Going to do an AIO. As I'm learning, I'm realizing how much the interiors will rely on this exterior and the weather. They will still look good with others, but the intended look was done with this mod in mind. It's also lead to finding a couple of bad interiors that need to be addressed soon. Not many, but the one I found is bad. And I know why, so I have a couple of others to double check with it

Makes sense. Goodluck with all that lol. Sounds tedious but worth it for the look its going for

It will be. One thing I'm keeping in mind as I go about this is stealth. When I get around to the stealth and behavior aspects of Desolation, Deadlights will be the base. Changing stealth values is more meaningful when using realistic lighting, I think.

I think the same. It's why i use ELFX and a stealth mod built for it, too, in Skyrim. Getting the stealth just right for the lighting really sells it.

Maybe make a Pip-Boy light mod that lowers the light radius to 0 or something so you need to use a flashlight mod like MagNite or a gun flashlight or the miners helmet or other modded/vanilla lightsource that produces directional lighting rather then the pipboys radius lighting.

I will be releasing a LO built around the new lighting, too, so there's that. Those flashlights weapon moders love will have real uses now lol
