LE Indoor shadows

[essexfuzz]

I'd love to see shadows in large indoor environments without having to cut my framerate in half using ENB

Hi,

 

I use this mod and have indoor shadows without using any ENB

Or you could try this:

I don't think it only handles dungeons, it should darken most regular interiors as well.

The problem is that there still are no interior shadows unless you are standing right next to a powerful light source like a fire. Go upstairs in Breezehome and you'll see what I mean. Your character has no shadow on the ground

That's an engine limitation. The Creation Engine (which runs Skyrim) can only handle 4 dynamic shadow casting light sources per cell. The fire casts a shadow because it's a specific type of light source. If you were to put in more dynamic light sources, the Creation Engine would turn them off forcibly. I'm not saying you couldn't spread out the light sources better (for example, take a candle or something from the lower floor and use it to replace the fake light source on the top floor), but adding more dynamic lights won't work on its own.

So in short, with this game engine it's impossible to have shadows in ambient light environments?
