Evravon86 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is hard to explain but I'll try my best. I have pictures I took of one of my settlements from a week or so ago. Using Homemaker and SSEX, along with Better Settlement Lights and another mod I can't remember the exact name of right now, something like "Lamps and Pipboy light" (it makes your pipboy light much stronger, can make it omnidirectional, and can add shadows, as well as your power armor light and mining helmet light). In this picture of my settlement, the fire barrels (one looks mesh and one looks like a metallic barrel) are giving off a LOT of light. It looked absolutely beautiful and lit up my settlement amazingly. It looked like there was firelight everywhere. The problem is, for some reason, these same fire barrels aren't giving off hardly any light whatsoever anymore. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I could fix it? could it be my load order? I have darker nights installed, which I had before. I can still build the barrels but the light they give off is almost non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamefever Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Sounds like one author or the other author might have adjusted the settings. So its like if darker nights got darker either by you know you updating that mod maybe picking a different setting or perhaps the SSEX mod author thought hey these barrels give off too much light at Vanilla Light Settings (which they kinda do at least candles also seem to be too bright...) Anyway something like that could have happened and the only thing I can think of is if you want them brighter just get a less severe darker nights or maybe pop open Fo4 edit and give editing a whirl.

Moraelin Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 There is a mod that makes the normal placeable lights, well, not necessarily brighter, but cover more area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evravon86 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 I really wish I could figure out which mod it was that changed the file so I could revert back or something. I used the fire barrels as my main light source in most of my settlements. Now I can't hardly see anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evravon86 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Update: It seems non-player built fire barrels are still giving off plenty of light. It's only the barrels I build that don't give off hardly any light anymore. What gives?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
