Shabutie95 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just recently built myself a new computer. Originally I had Realistic Lighting with Customization combined with the Enhanced Lights and FX. It was splendid, I had no problems and it was a beauty. Now I come to find out the mod is no longer available and what is left is Realistic Light by itself. For whatever reason (and I'm not sure if it's the mods are causing this) but my torch lights, fires, lanterns, what have you, are dim and pale looking. They are no longer the warm fires that I had with my previous installation. The only mods I have installed right now are Realistic Lighting and Enhanced Lights and FX. I've tried re installing the game, and starting fresh but it's having no effect. I've also tried to install various enhanced torch and lighting mods, which also did not fix my problem. If there's any recommendations or help you guys can give me it would be much much appreciated! Thank you for reading. specs: GTX 770i5 - 4670k 4.2ghzRaid 016gb RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedMinds Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Do you have Climate of Tamriel installed? I tried to find what was happening in my game recently and found out the method used by CoT to make the night darker is by darkening the whole scene. Side effect is that all lighting sources appears dimmed :/ Edit: It seems possible to easily fix that if using an ENB (I have yet to test it personally)(Thanks to 999-jay-999 for telling people in the CoT's comment thread :D)Thanks to MISTERMOURAS for this:For anyone who is using ENB and needs to brighten up nights or interiors:1) open the enbseries.ini file, which is located in your main skyrim dir2) edit these entries, under [ENVIRONMENT]:DirectLightingIntensityNight=0.8338DirectLightingIntensityInterior=1.9227The above values are the ones I am using right now, along with the brightest of CoT nights preset and vanilla dungeons. You can adjust those values as much as you'd like, save, then go back into the game and see what suits you better.

prod80 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 ELFX is no longer compatible with RLOUse either one, not both. As for CoT, certain weather conditions are desaturated... this is normal for that mod. If you fix that with an ENB you might end up with other weather conditions being super saturated... ENB does not care what the weather in Skyrim is, you set a value up to have it look better in one scene will influence the appearance of all scenes. Btw those settings you posted only make direct light brighter, and they are also heavily dependant on which ENB this applies to... it will NOT work on any ENB. Direct light is light from the Sky, not from fires. If you want fire to become warmer you need to change the curves under [FIRE], if you want to light emmitance of fire to be warmer you need to change the curves under [ENVIRONMENT] PointLightCurve Day/Night/Interior. If the light sources are too dim to your liking you need to change PointLightIntensity Day/Night/Interior, so they become brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabutie95 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 im unfamiliar with customizing ENB's what should be my first step? All i want to do is keep CoT and make brighter and warmer fires. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
