Increase light source radius

[J0L0tz]

Hey everyone. Maybe someone can help me with the following question:

I'd like too increase the light radius coming from lanterns, camp-fires etc. Cause my nights are realistic dark and in solitude for example, the street lights don't really light up the streets well.

Mods used (with impact on lightning):

Obsidian weathers

Lanterns II + Tamriel Master lights (City Version)

Intrigued ENB

 

How can I adjust the lights to make them enlighten the surrounding more.

Tweak the Lanterns' esp,TML-esp or by Enb-settings.

Which settings should I focus on?

 

Thx for help and advise.

You can adjust light source radius in esp files. It's pretty easy to tweak individual light types. However, lights placed in the environment frequently override the default radius in their placement entry, so if you want to do every light source in the game, then it becomes an impossibly tedious approach.

 

Darkening things via ENB or imagespace settings can have the problem of also darkening light sources, since it's a visual effect that's applied to the entire screen. I'm not well versed in ENBs, but maybe this problem can be avoided through careful calibration of the darkening effect. I do not know.

 

I solved a similar problem by entirely avoiding ENB/imagespace darkening and getting my dark nights via darkening the ambient lighting. This is also a tedious process as it means adjusting numbers on every weather type, though less so, since there are no instance entries with overriding to worry about.

 

Anyway, as best I can tell, you'll probably want to dig into your ENB settings to address the issue.

Be careful with increasing the radius of light sources.

 

Skyrim does a horrific job with managing many light sources, if you put the light sources too high random light sources around the player will just completely turn on and off.
