About this mod Machine translation

Add darker nights to cathedral weather and seasons.

Unfortunately, the unforgivable mod Darker Nights appears to have been abandoned, as the mod has not been updated in several months and the author has not been active since October 2018. Since I made a Darker Nights patch for my mod that improves Rain and Fog weather, I thought I'd patch the default cathedral weather as well.

Let me tell you, it's not easy. Manually copying all the lighting values ​​would be very tedious, so I used a dodgy script to automate the patching. However, there is no documentation on these scripts and I had to dig through tons of posts to get some insight. Then, the program the script depends on doesn't work with SSE and I have to install Visual Studio and compile the SSE version from source. To save others the headache, I've provided the download and compile patcher.exe of the script in case anyone wants to create their own.

Unfortunately, the mod Darker Nights by unforbidable appears to have been abandoned, as the mod has not been updated in months and the author hasn't been active since October 2018. Since I made a Darker Nights patch for my own mod Improved Rain and Fog for Cathedral Weathers, I figured I should make a patch for the default Cathedral Weathers as well.

Let me tell you, it wasn't easy. It would have been much too tedious to copy all the lighting values by hand, so I used the scripts that unforbidable provided to automate the patches. However, there is no documentation on these scripts, and I had to dig through tons of posts to get even a little bit of insight. Then, the program the scripts depended on was not available for SSE, and I had to install Visual Studio and compile the SSE version from source code. To save anyone else the headache, I provided a download of the scripts and compiled patcher.exe in case anyone ever wants to make their own.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
