About this mod
NOT A RESHADE MOD! Drastically improve Lumen shadows by reducing skylight intensity, improving auto exposure, adding color correction. Zero performance impact!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Bring back the shadows that were already there by reducing the skylight intensity. A skylight is basically a global light that applies to all shadows to give reduce the shadow intensity. I feel like the skylight is a bit too bright in Oblivion Remastered, making some scenes feel weird and removing shadows altogether.
This mod has zero performance impact and mostly changes outdoor lighting and shadows. Indoor lighting is a lot darker thanks to better auto-exposure settings and more local contrast. Make sure to bring a torch at night or in your dungeons.
Specifically tuned for both Hardware- and Software Lumen.
❗Be sure to check your in-game brightness if you find the mod is to dark for you. The mod is calibrated on brightness settings '0', on a calibrated OLED monitor ❗

✅ Better shadows, without sacrificing performance
✅ Tweaked auto exposure adaption for darker nights and dungeons (bring a torch)
