#Skyrim dark nights mod mod

Several mod creators have taken different approaches to improving the lighting in Skyrim. However, some of the light placement decisions appear to have been for speed rather than artistry or even common sense. Too many lights hitting a surface may cause flickering.

With mods darkening interiors or nights, these false lights stand out or fail to stand out like a Dragon Priest kicking back in your living room with a cup of tea. Use the MCM for darker nights and other adjustments. Includes water make-over and landscape textures.

For darker nights, you could try sorting the CoT nights-level patch after Vividian, reverting back some cloud and fog colors, or patch it using TES5Edit. The second and third installation page includes patches for CoT, CoT weather patch and extended groundfog for CoT patch. This is primarily a lighting and atmospheric effects mod, but includes some weather adjustments and, of course, darkened nights. I use the CoT darker nights nights-level-1 option since default nights are far too bright. These weather mods should give the skies more variety and nicer looking fog made even better after we add our ENB choice below. CoT by itself has a few issues such as sun visible in dark clouds, fog and rain appears a bit off, making the patches desirable. Vivid Clouds, no procedural sun rays-only. The mod includes visual choices: basic, regular, summer, and version 2.

Install the one you want second and overwrite, or do what I did and only install some of the HD 2K options, which are broken down into multiple files for easy pickings. Some of the texture replacers in these mods overlap. Updating the relatively low base HD Texture Pack is nice, too.

All the mods I list here link to Nexusmods. I play at x resolution p so more pixels compared to p affect my decisions on mods I add. Since ENB replaces anti-aliasing, go ahead and disable antialiasing AA and anisotropic filtering in Skyrim launcher options. In general, install new weather and landscape mods followed by lighting before installing and adjusting ENB. One could go very realistic, ultra-fantasy art visuals, or cartoon-ish even. Besides, wild animals in Skyrim are extremely dumb, even with SkyTEST installed they are still randomly wandering into cities and bumping into NPCs.I covered environmental immersion in my previous post. I was thinking about enabling the option in iNeed to make food extremely scarce so I would have to hunt every day but maybe I'll do it in my next playthrough. Hunterborn is a mod that gives you more options for hunting. I'm doing a semi-casual playthrough right now since I don't have too much time for gaming so I haven't tried these yet. If you want to bump up the difficulty, I've heard that mods like Morrowloot, Scarcity, and 'Rebalanced Encounter Zones and Leveled Actors at Skyrim' will do the trick.

I never use fast travel and these mods make it a little easier to get around. I also use Realistic and Balanced Horses which gives them slightly more stamina but doesn't make them invincible, like other mods do. Mods I'd recommend to use with this one: Campfire (so you can make shelter), Wearable Lanterns, and iNeed (which gives you penalties if you don't sleep regularly)Д¬omplete Fast Travel Overhaul - This mod adds more carriages and ferries to Skyrim so you have more options for travel. Vanilla nights are too bright and safe, this makes it much more dangerous to wander around during night because you can't spot enemies. Some mods that I recommended on a similar topic recently:Дarker Nights - this one is pretty self-evident, it makes the nights darker so you actually need to find shelter before the night falls. You need to play more carefully because the potions heal over time (deafult is 5 seconds) and you can't drink more than one of the same kind. In order to fix this, I use Wildcat, Mortal Enemies, and Skyrim Alchemy Fixed - the last one changes the potion effects from applying instantly to applying gradually. Vanilla combat is too easy and unrealistic, since you can pause the game at any moment and chug 15 restore health potions. In my experience, the most important thing in making Skyrim feel darker and more dangerous is combat.
