▲ 2 r/skyrimmods

I’m using Community Shaders with Jiaye’s version, the latest version from the Discord (26.2.17). I’m also using the Centinez SkyCetrionPP preset with NATCSIII.

The interiors are extremely dark, and at certain times of the day, like sunrise or sunset, everything becomes way too dark as well (I’ll attach screenshots). I’ve been trying to configure things like Linear Lighting, Screen Space GI, Skylighting, etc. I tested different settings indoors, but nothing seems to change.

I’m still pretty new to CS, so I’m not sure if I need any extra mods or what settings I should configure exactly.

My shader-related mod order is:

  1. NAT.ENB - ESP WEATHER PLUGIN 1.07a
  2. CS
  3. CS AIO
  4. NAT.CS III
  5. Centinez SkyCetrionPP

I’ve also tried other presets and weather setups, but it’s always the same issue: everything looks way too dark. I think I even tested another version of CS AIO at some point, but visually it looked exactly the same.

Logically, during the day everything looks fine OUTSIDE. Inside houses or other interiors, it looks dark, but not as dark as if it were nighttime... At night it looks like I’m playing some kind of analog horror game. (The first screenshot is literally the start of Skyrim on a new save; at certain times and in some areas it gets that dark.)

EDIT: I managed to partially fix it by installing Lux CS. Now, during the day, interiors look much brighter, and light sources like campfires, torches, etc. glow enough at night to actually see things...

However, now in certain interior areas, chandeliers give off no light at all and I literally can’t see anything. Campfires and candles still emit light, but chandeliers are completely useless. I entered Jorrvaskr and it’s almost pitch black. (I still haven’t tested many other interiors yet.)

I’ll attach 2 screenshots showing how Jorrvaskr looks and how the chandeliers aren’t illuminating anything.

  1. NAT.ENB - ESP WEATHER PLUGIN v3.1.1C - Fixed
  2. Lux
  3. Lux Orbis
  4. Optional Lux Resource Pack (No ENB Light)
  5. Lux (Patch Hub)
  6. Lux Orbis (Patch Hub)
  7. ISL Helper
  8. Light Placer
  9. CS
  10. CS AIO
  11. Lux CS Patch
  12. NAT.CS III
  13. Centinez SkyCetrion PP
