- - Needless to say, lighting in Vanilla skyrim is hilarious, Ambient Lighting (light coming from everywhere) is ridiculous, too grey/bright, it makes using a torch really not important or necessary, I don't like that, so a lighting overhaul mod is a must for me in every playthrough, the best one is ELFX obviously, but alas, that mod comes with a great FPS penalty, so i needed a mod to fix lighting while being performance wise as a top priority, luckily, Skyrim modders deliver, I found two mods that do what i want, Ultra Realistic World Lighting (URWL) and this one (Realistic Lighting Overhaul RLO), So i had to make up my mind between the two; I have finally decided to go with RLO for some reasons,
- * 1st of all, URWL makes lights too bright and saturated, and doesn't really dim lights much, it only makes them look better, RLO on the other hand, makes lights a lot dimmer, and it removes ambient lighting.
- * 2nd, RLO not only is FPS friendly, but the author also says that it could proved some FPS gain because it removes that stuff that encumbers GPU which is a +1 for RLO, especially that performance is my top priority.
- * 3rd, URWL primarily tackles exteriors, while RLO tackles interiors and weather/exteriors, and tbh, even if RLO didn't make nights dark as i want, i can easily use a mod to make them darker, and that's why Interior lighting in this case is more important that exterior. Also in Interiors, I get much more FPS so I don't mind splurging a bit.
- * 4th, RLO is more customizable, if you find nights to be dark, simple, just change esp for brighter nights, same thing for dungeons.

- - In-game, use the 'RLO Exteriors' power given to you, and disable 'Guard Torch removing', it's ON by default, so set it to OFF. 3 reasons for this, 1st, I don't want guards walking in darkness, I want to see them at night; 2nd, the flickering is believed to be fixed with 'fFlickeringLightDistance=8192' which I have, so no need for this; 3rd, One less looping script.
