#SKYRIM SWEETFX TOO DARK IN TAVERN HOW TO#
(Can't figure out how to make a proper gallery, if you do please let me know) I tried doing that in the Creation Kit but it was throwing errors and crashed before I could figure it out. That will light it up nicely without the need for ELFX lighting and solve the problem of too many light sources. According to the Nexus forum for Fort Dawnguard Overhaul, it is possible to use the Creation Kit to change the lighting template in the mod to WindhelmInterior. Once I added a loot rule to put Fort Dawnguard after Cloaks of Skyrim everything worked and I published the change. Today I took another crack at the problem and discovered in TES5Edit that Cloaks of Skyrim was overwriting Fort Dawnguard Overhaul lighting. Only problem was that as soon as I ran LOOT, the fort became dark again. So then, I left the ELFX lights in place. The problem was that left Fort Dawnguard dark and gloomy just like the screenshots for the mod.

I think it renders the four closest shadow producing lights.

The mod instructions say to disable ELFX for Fort Dawnguard because the engine can only handle so many lights and when you go over that the lights turn on and off as the player turns and moves around. When I installed ELFX, it became way too dark and gloomy so I tried Fort Dawnguard Overhaul. I also studied ICBNE2's SweetFX_settings.txt and incorporated curves and dither into Ambitious Skyrim.Īs for Fort Dawnguard Overhaul: In vanilla Skyrim Fort Dawnguard is properly lighted. Then, I decided ICBNE2 was too colorful and saturated for my tastes so I went back to the default SweetFX and no longer needed the darker snow. When I did, the snow became blindingly white so I installed the darker snow version. Several people suggested I try ICBNE2 (I Can't Believe It's Not ENB 2) instead of the default SweetFX.
