Making the sun rise and set at a different position?

[RellioN]

Is it possible? is it maybe possible to change the compass poles in an exterior cell?

 

I spent a day making a heightmap and designing the landscape, not taking into account the sun's position. I need sunlight on 1 side of a mountain, instead it's on the other side most of the day.

 

Putting the sun more towards the center of the sky would also work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the sun and sky are textures, if you change the suns position on the texture, you would change it in game. but that would be a giant pain in the ass.

I strongly doubt that the game uses the texture to decide where the sun should be, but it's the other way around.

I'm not too sure about it, all the different skies are textures with lighting effects. So the sun is probably just a part of a texture with some lighting effects. Try to contact any of the people who made Fallout Skies, Fellout, or Nevada Skies. They would know.
