The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Realistic Lighting Overhaul v.5.0.3 - Game mod - Download

Realistic Lighting Overhaul is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim created by The Realistic Lighting Team. It’s the fourth iteration of the popular lighting mod, Realistic Lighting without Post-Processing

It is a complete overhaul of the games lighting system and is the most comprehensive lighting mod available for Skyrim. The changes number in the thousands and cover many bases.

The aim of this mod is to make the lighting as realistic as possible within the confines of the game engine. It makes the lighting more realistic without the use of screen shader injections or other post-processing. This means the changes made to this mod only utilize the game engine and changes are only made via the Creation Kit. So this means there will be no performance decrease at all, in fact, some people might even get an FPS boost from using this mod due to the removal of bloom which takes up considerable processing power from older machines. We are also optimizing RLO so that it may even run FASTER than vanilla Skyrim in some instances.

This mod does not aim to make the game fantasy like, or add lights for the purpose of it looking beautiful on screenshots. This is a hardcore realism mod, that should be used by people who want their game to have an increased immersion level. Sunlight will be realistic and not blue and places which are poorly lit WILL be dark. This mod adds a vast amount of ambient lighting, more shadow casting lights and bounced lighting. The lighting in RLO is very subtle and very balanced and many of its features can be missed if people are looking for a more "in your face" approach. This is why we only really tell you about a few features and the rest is up to you to experience.

How to install: Use Nexus Mod Manager.
