There are a few mods out there that try to fix the very intrusive eye adaptation in vanilla Skyrim. These mods tend to speed up the eye adaptation so fast that you literally never see its effects. However this is not realistic at all. In real life it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour for a human to adapt to drastic lighting conditions and in some instances even hours.
RLO will fix all sorts of issues with dimming lights, mesh connection problems, shadow striping, lighting template fog issues, flickering and a whole host more. Every single esp in RLO is basically an Unofficial Lighting Patch. This means you will no longer need shadow striping fixes, removed interior fog mods, mods that fix lighting placements, missing lights and so forth. RLO basically has it all.
More stability, less bugs, more immersion, less hassles and less esp’s to worry about.
RLO will also carry over many of the USKP fixes to ensure that RLO does not override any unofficial patches by Arthmoor. Thanks goes to Arthmoor and others for this head’s up.
The Fake fog which is in the game can be a very bad eyesore and also frustrating for people using Ambient Occlusion. It also adds a fake layer of grey to most interiors that takes away the natural beauty of the lighting and even hinder hunter type classes. We have now removed this from every interior in the game and will be present in every single esp we release.
Realistic Lighting Overhaul is basically compatible with nearly every mod out there because it is so modular in nature. You can virtually pick whatever module you want and use it with other mods as long as they are modular in nature also. This means this mod is compatible with the great CLimates of Tamriel weather mod, Frostfall, Minty’s Lightning mod, all ENB’s and much much more. You are not forced into using anything if you do not want to.
So try out as many lighting and weather mods you like, ensure you install them correctly discarding any esp that you don’t want from RLO.
We are happy as long as you enjoy your game, so if you don’t want to use all our modules, that is totally fine.
Want to find out more about other lighting mods and/or compatibility?
Go to the below link!
In all honesty, the mods charm comes in the subtlety of it all.
Lighting will be balanced across all cells, so no cell will be lit differently purely to make a dramatic effect. If you are looking for a mod that will change how a cell looks dramatically, I would suggest other great lighting mods out there.
RLO is very lore friendly and actually aims to improve the lore by adding a lot more immersion to the game, feeding off lore from previous games while using only the assets available in Skyrim.
In some instances you may find some added statues, graveyard offerings or notes scattered around the exterior of cities. This was made to aid in the immersion of added lights in exteriors. As an example, we added more tombstones and offerings in Whiterun. This is so we could add some candles near the offerings and have a reason for the lights to be added to a dark part of the city or to a bland area of the city.
5.0 introduces a new feature called Dwemer Lighting Technology or DLT. This adds numerous contraptions, working steam vents, new npcs, new lore books, levers, valves and more. Please check Markarth’s Understone Keep for an introduction to this feature!
Check your load order! It is VERY important!
Thank you to all the people who helped me survive numerous surgeries via their donations back in 2013. You helped save a life.
I am also a single dad of 3 children and am scraping by on a disability pension, your donations usually go straight to my kids and for that I thank you all.
I would love to thank everyone who donated here, but there are over 250 of you and I tried my best to reply to all your Paypal emails with a
personal note of gratitude.
A donation pop-up has been added to the file when you download or endorse. This is a Nexus file feature added by DarkOne and his team.
Many thanks goes to the Nexus who help modders out for all the hard work they do. So thank you.
On a final note, Tony (Sydney666) evenly distributes all donations made via the donations TAB to all active team members.

I no longer care about endorsements, I don’t care about downloads and I don’t care about any so called «fame» around being a modder.
It was a lot of hard work and people don’t realise it. It was many years ago and I have supported it through tough times.
This mod is now available as modders resource.
Since everyone tells me how they could make this mod better, or how my last update was so awful, then go ahead.
This means the following;
Anyone can take the mod, edit it and upload it as their own. You can even upload it without a single edit and call it «Tom’s best ever lighting mod» and pretend you did it. I.do.not.care any more. I am sick of people thinking that I am in some massive modding rivalry or that this is the most important thing in my life and I grovel over it every day. I don’t. At the same time, it pains me to read troll like comments here, reddit and other places STILL going on about this mod and about me.
So I am finally just letting go of it all.
This also means any patch, any portion of the mod can be used in any part or form to fulfill your desire.
Take my 2000 hours of work, and use it as a shortcut to complete your own mod.
I am officially retired from modding and have little concern with issues regarding it.
I have devoted a good chunk of my life to this mod, but the effort to reward is very low and there are numerous people who have benefited more than me on this work. Including the sites its been uploaded to, and people who have made YouTube videos on it.
I am just happy to be kicking on still in life and there are more important things to me than reading negative comments from entitled people.
Rather than deleting the mod entirely, I have decided to give it to anyone who wants it. I am not a total a**hole, so I won’t delete it.
It is now officially modders resource. You have Full permission to do whatever you want with the mod.
Comments are now locked.
It was a fun ride (not really).
RLO 5.0.2 is out.
PLEASE NOTE.
Introducing a number of features!
After a long hard road 5.0 is out.
I want to thank everyone for the patience during such a troubled time for me. This time my health is what I would call fine, but it’s home life and depression that has kicked my teeth in. I am however very happy with not only my personal contribution to 5.0 (as I thought I would never work on RLO again) but to the contribution of people like Edwin and Shana who have made 5.0 are far more complex and enjoyable version.
Again I thank you all for your patience.
What does it do in a nutshell?
— The NPC added by DLT (Abrecan) has been corrected for the dark face bug.
— The No Guard Torch Utility in RLO Exteriors has been updated and is now On by default, you may turn it off if you wish through the RLO Options menu found under powers.
— The WizBAIN Installer has been heavily updated and revised by EAGnR, and it should work very similarly to the Fomod installer now.
— Candle smoke and flame textures from RLO Effects have been updated to be more realistic, credits to LupusHegemonia.
— RLO plugins including patches have been organized, and had their masters sorted.
Version 5.0.2 (initial release for Oldrim)
RLO v5 ported over to 32-bit Creation Kit, organized and cleaned up plugin records, USKP changes passed over, plugin masters updated, and fomod updated. Tested on Oldrim without issues.
Please report any oddities. Thank you.
Below are the changes made for the SSE version but also has info pertaining to the Oldrim release.
— USSEP changes that were missing have been carried over to RLO Exteriors and Interiors.
— IC and CRF patches have been revised for errors. The IC patch now prevents Embry from clipping with fire brazier at the Riverwood bridge.
— RLO Effects meshes have been optimized with the SSE NIF Optimizer utility. This can possibly help those who had been experiencing fps drops due to the smoke effects.
Major City Interiors, Minor City/Town Interiors, and Dungeons + Dwemer Lighting Technology (DLT):
— Many new interiors, as well as several redone major interiors.
— True color imagespaces with no tints, which show actual texture colors and deeper blacks (ENB Friendly).
— Fixed orange fog and ambient lighting.
— The DLT module brings you intricate Dwemer lighting contraptions with interesting new lore behind them. (DLT Locations: Markarth Understone Keep, more locations coming in future updates based on suggestions.)
Major City Exteriors, Minor City/Town Exteriors, and No Guard Torches Utility (Helps Prevent Flickering):
— Several redone major cities.
— Realistic new towns with a lived-in feeling.
— The No Guard Torches Utility can be found in the Magic Menu under Powers, and when activated it will dynamically remove torches from guards at night.
RLO Effects:
— Improved candles, torches, and embers.
— New realistic candle and torch smoke effects.
RLO Illuminated Spells:
— Spells will produce light and illuminate your sorroundings.
There is a bunch more stuff added to the mod, so check it out!
For removing guard torches to prevent flickering, RLO Exteriors now provides a Guard Torch Removal Utility found as a spell in the powers menu under «RLO Exteriors: Options».
This utility dynamically removes guard torches from inventories without editing leveled lists. Especially useful for existing saves that already have guards with spawned torches, as those can’t really be removed by modifying leveled lists. Essentially the script will always be able to remove guard torches when you need it to. You can clean out entire cities, towns, and paths from guards with torches while the utility is active (it is On by default).
Hint: To aim at a specific guard with a torch then just get really close to him, this will tell the script to check the closest guard, and then it will check the surrounding area.
Well I have created a new mod called Realistic Lighting Overhaul Reshade for the game No Man’s Sky.
For those who like that game, please feel free to try it out!
Vanilla Skyrim at night: Full moon every night.
Realistic Lighting Overhaul at night: Torch, check. Lantern, check. What’s that sound? Oh s***, sabre cat!
I asked on the SSE mod versions of both Vivid Weathers and RLO, asked on reddit, asked on discord of skyrimmods, and no answers were given to my question so im asking here in hopes of maybe someone can clarify to me a few things..
So Realistic Lighting Overhaul SSE v4 has the weathers esp, while v5 doesnt have it.. since i plan to use vivid weathers and RLO, i need to do the right way to make both compatible.
RLO author says disable the weather modules.. i assume the seasonal module(located on folder 02 Seasons) from vivid weathers is the one i disable since v5 of RLO doesnt have any weathers esp?? if not the weather modules from Vivid Weathers v4, then how do i disable the weather plugins from RLO v5?? and btw, im manual installing things as i prefer not to use mod installers.
. Realistic Lighting Overhaul SSE.
For me the dungeon lighting of 4.0.8.2 or 4.0.8.1 is way better than in 5.0.3 (which is so bright you don’t need a light source). And my last game 2013/2014 was with 4.0.7c so i can’t and won’t adapt myself to brighter dungeons. The interior lights of 5.0.3 are better than in 4.0.8.2 or 1 but they have a bit to much ambient light for my taste. Strangely the exterior lighting seems not working for me at all. The lightsources are there but the light/brightness is like the vanilla game (tested it without a weathermod). I did a lot of comparisons today and yesterday with the above mentioned versions (except 4.0.7c), ELFX and Relighting Skyrim and atm the best compromise seems to be ELFX with enhancer (or even hardcore) for me. The enhancer especially because the dungeons are darker and more like 4.0.8.2.
So for me it is like: Why don’t stick with 4.0.8.2? Because some of the interiors are a bit to dark, 5.0.3 is better choice here and i don’t know what incompatibilities with other mods could occur due to it’s old state. Any why not with 5.0.3? Because of the dungeon lighting.
There are awesome lighting mods out there, ELFX, Relighing Skyrim, RCRN, Climates of Tamriel and more. Try them all out, see what mod fits your needs and then learn how to use xedit and pick what components you like and mix and match them.
Have a happy new year!
Hi, thx for the reply. No i don’t take youre answer as antagonistic and i’m well aware that a mod never can satisfy anyone. I just was posting my opinion, that’s all. And if i didn’t like RLO i wasn’t here and would’t have used the mod when i played the last game. The gifs are just for ppl who doesn’t know the mods well enough and i think you get a good first glance and impression via such gifs. That doesn’t mean you get the full taste of a mod but that should be clear.
Also a happy new year!
In classic Skyrim the weather mod I think might match the best would be the Classic version of Purity (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65242), as it gives a clean, clear overhaul of the weathers with darker nights but does not have the «sunglasses» effect darker mods often have, and doesn’t lower fps. I think it might be one of the better weather matches to the RLO lighting.
i would suggest trying it if you are looking for a weather mod to use with RLO.
Hmm a lot of backlash from this latest update, and I have to say RLO is much brighter then i remember.
Edit: There seems to be some wonky-ness going on between the latest version of RLO, and ELFX. With both mods installed there are some lighting/shadow flickering inside some interiors. (As if certain light source stop emitting light, as you face certain angles) I notice it in various Inns (The fire-pits), and the jail cell in the mod Alternate Start Live Another Life (Candle next to the statue). However with that said the problem does not persist with version 4.0.8.02. The exact same load order, simply downgraded RLO, and all the lighting is stable again.
