Changing Light emittance from Object!

[Qvist]

Hi there fellow modders!

I'm all out of luck with finding mods that instead of increasing radius and emittance rather dimms and softens the various workshop lights we're given! So now I thought that I might try to change this myself, but I've no idea where to start.

Is this a rather tedious precedure or something that I could do with a few tweaks?

Basicly what I want to do is to change the radius and the strength of light in various objects built from the Workshop. I guess there is some base that I need to edit, butg can't seem to find it!

Some of them are Activators, some fall under the Light category (shocking I know). You'll need to find the specific lights you're wanting to tweak, open up Fallout4.esm in the Creation Kit and use the object window, filter for things like "workshop" under the Light and Activator sub directories. You'll need to find the lights you want to edit there and edit their specific properties such as the radius, intensity, color, and so on of a specific light. There are a lot more settings than that you can adjust for an individual light but you'll have to get a feel for how you want things to look by some experimentation.

 

You can also look in the Constructible Object records sub-section to find the crafting recipes that will lead you to the lights. Double right-clicking on the "object created" drop down box in these recipes will directly open up the record for the object being created which could save you some time.

@Urtho Wow, thanks! I'll give it a try and write back if I run into problems!

 

EDIT: Found the exact light I wanted to change under the Lights section, dimmed it a bit and changed some shadow values. I've officially tamed the lights in the game with this newly found strength! Thanks @Urtho!
