Dark dungeons or dark nights don't work. HELP!

[vmh1029]

To keep it short, I've used several mods to make my dungeons and nights darker. I've tried to install the following mods.

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72594

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12454

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/88476/

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49472/?

 

 

And none of this seem to have any effect on my game. I choose the hardcore dark versions of this mods and I can clearly see everything and it's not pitch black or super black as it should. I chose this setting for testing if it worked. The only way I've gotten my way around it is to change the gamma curve in the ENB menu in-game without the mods. but I do not want to change the appearence of my ENB. I will post here my skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini just in case there may be something that I should have enabled. Thank you so much!

 

 

P.S: I have COT and ELFX installed.

P.S 2: Now that I think about it, even though I have ELFX installed, I'm not sure if it actually works or not (since well my dungeons or interiors aren't really that dark and according to forums there are complaints that ELFX makes things too dark, and that is weird to me because I think they aren't. Maybe It's my ENB, I don't know. I use VandB ENB https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65584

Well, with the information given, I'm guessing you're using Mike Fox's Darker Nights and/or Darker Dungeons.

Your ini files have nothing to do with the mod.

What's important is your LOAD ORDER

Because it matters where the ESP is.
If it's way at the top, then other mods are going to override it.
A mod that Darkens the Dungeons or Skies is going to need to be low in your load order so it overrides and mods that affect the sky or dungeons

Thanks for answering. Well, I use LOOT, so I normally don't pay attention to the order. I'll try to put it lower and see what happens.

 

P.S: I just chekced and actually both mods (night and dungeons) are actually pretty low in the order. Still nothing happens. But maybe it has to do with my ENB?

Try disabling the ENB and loading your game and check.

Alright I'll try that and I'll let you know. Thank you!
