Luminance Lighting Overhaul - Cathedral Project

Super lightweight model, simply recolored and enhanced with vanilla lighting.

The Cathedral Project is a comprehensive visual overhaul with virtually no performance cost while maintaining high compatibility. Luminosity is the first mod of the project.

describe

This mod basically recreates the vanilla tones using an ELFX inspired palette while retaining the vanilla signposts (lighting strategy). It doesn't move or add new bulbs, so you don't have to worry about flashing discos and scripts to mitigate the problem. Brightness applies to gameplay and immersion. Light bounces off the environment to fill space, so don't expect pitch black dungeons. This mod retains the vanilla light logo released and is designed to help guide you through interior design. Additionally, it is all based on a set of image space settings (i.e. contrast, brightness, saturation), making it an ideal indoor lighting mode for ENB creation as it provides exceptional consistency. In the version in the cathedral project it is also possible to adjust the interior brightness to your liking.

compatibility

This mod will only override vanilla records; cells, lights, lighting templates, (indoor) weather. Therefore, it is technically compatible with any Skyrim-compatible mod. However, in order for you to appreciate the changes this mod makes, it should load after all other mods, unless the mod in question explicitly says to load after the lighting mod. For example, mods that modify specific lighting, such as flashlights, magelights, or spell lighting should be loaded afterwards.

Sample loading sequence:

-Skyrim.esm

-Update.esm

-Dawnguard.esm

-Hearthfires.esm

-Dragonborn.esm

-Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp

• Other Mods
• Brightness - Lightweight Lighting.esp

This mod is designed to be used with Obsidian Weather and Seasons. In the screenshot, the dungeon uses T4's underground texture. Results will obviously vary with ENB or other weather patterns.
