[Suggestion] Illuminated Fake Windows for Settlements

[LeonDaniels]

I thought I'd just preface this by saying I'm a terrible modmaker haha.

BUT

 

I would love to see someone create 'fake' windows that are illuminated for settlements

I love trying to create cityscape style settlements and you cant have a city scape without some large towers or skyscrapers.

One downside though, is to create lit windows means creating actual spaces behind the glass, with lights inside, which obviously consumes more and more processing / GPU power and isn't really viable.

 

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a mod which would essentially take the commonly used windows/glass panes, illuminate them and opaque them, thus allowing for snappable placement on flat solid surfaces. You could make a skyscrapers and decorative buildings with no interiors then, akin to how developers achieve the city effect in games like GTA V / Open world games

 

I'm no developer but I'm sure there's a more appropriate gaming development term for this sort of 'trickery'

 

I've attached an image to show what I mean more clearly
