Okay I'm done with Realistic Lighting Overhaul. What's better?

[HadToRegister]

I absolutely loved RLO, but it was really tough on my eyes and I would start to get headaches playing, so I had to give it up. I didn't use a lighting mod for a while, but I recently started using Rustic Weathers, and I like it. It's natural and comfortable, though it only affects outside.

 

Here is what helped me decide on it. Gamerpoets was kind enough to record the same scenes, using each of the currently-popular weather/lighting mods, so we could see how each handled the different aspects. Hope it helps.

 

 

 

Excellent!

 

I made a list, of the mods he used, then put a check mark or an X next to each one as he showed each scene, for me, three X's meant the mod was dropped from Consideration.

 

COT and Wander were the first to go.

Well, after watching that video, I'm now even more sure of Vivid Weathers. It's far and away the best one. The fact that it has options built in to customize it in the mod settings to your liking is the icing on the cake. Damn, what a good mod. Distant second place goes to Mythic, I guess.
