Technoss Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Could someone help me identify what exactly controls this lighting property and how to modify it? I have attached identical areas in their respective games for Oldrim and Special Edition for the purpose of illuminating (pun intended) the differences in lighting. Notice the brightness on the banners for Oldrim The sun, if godrays are disabled, now looks like a bright moon in SE I have always loved this cave light effect, but it looks very dull in SE As you can tell, SE uses different lighting from Oldrim. SE lighting is duller and softer, even if only by a little. This is not bad or good. I just wish to get it to look like Oldrim lighting. I just need to know what variable controls the brightness in these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasikko Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd like to know that myself. When I was dungeon building in Skyrim SE, I noticed the lighting was terrible no matter what I did >_>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilloughbian Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Looks like bloom to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoss Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Looks like bloom to me.Hm, that sounds about right to me. Given it's that, how does one jack up the bloom to Oldrim levels? I must test this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilloughbian Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) This might help you out. http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_INI It's got about every tweak you can make. I also think there's some edits that can be made in the CK, but that's more on a cell by cell basis, unless you want to start playing with weathers and climates.

TheWilloughbian Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 As for the sun. I ended up editing my own sun glare textures to get it to look the way I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoss Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 As for the sun. I ended up editing my own sun glare textures to get it to look the way I wanted.What do you mean by this? The sun will need more than just a bloom adjustment in order to look like the Oldrim one? Also, thanks for the direction. I looked around a little in an attempt to pinpoint the exact .ini setting that controls bloom; but alas, it seems like a frequently asked yet still unanswered question. Or maybe someone knows but they don't want to say what the .ini setting is. I will keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I thought it didn't exist, or is it that the SE .ini contains it but the Oldrim .ini doesn't? Come to think of it, that was kind of dumb of me to just hand wave it away. At any rate, I'll be testing in the meanwhile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
