LucifKaiser Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi everyone, I have been using a bunch of mods to make my skyrim experience more immersive and realistic, by adding needs and frostfall for example and getting rid of the compass etc. As such I force myself to navigate by exploring and using sun and landmarks for direction. One problem though at night the moons dont light up the way they should. I feel there should be a mod so the moons light up the way they should. A little knowledge of astronomy tells us that around sunset and you look at the moon the light side should be pointing west because that is where the sun is because the sun sets in the west. Consequently around dawn the light side of the moon points east because that is where the sun as the sun rises in the east. This also doesnt matter which way the moon goes around the world so long as the sun goes from east to west as it does in the game. However as I have discovered the moons of skyrim dont always follow this. See my screenshot for example I turned on my compass and took this at 10:25 at night some time after sunset and nowhere near dawn the moons point east but the sun set in the west. I feel a mod adjusting it so the moon faced the right way would make navigating at night a lot easier. I would be happy to help explain the phases of the moon etc to anyone if they want a crack at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
