Works better with The Goddess ENB Configuration:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23029

(You don't need to download ENB presets to run this mod.But you can use it,it will gives a sightly better result)
Wintertide - Fantasy ENB:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28176/?tab=3&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fuser%3D0%26id%3D28176

Makes the lighting more realistic without the use of screen shader injections or other post-processing.

The "fixes" in this mod for exteriors:
- More powerful sun color
- Lighter sunset/sunrise skies
- Lighter cloudy skies
- Darker ambient color
- Very dark nights (If it's too dark, you may need to fix your monitor's brightness, try this: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php)
- Fixed color balance and saturation for all weather types to look realistic
- Removed bloom
- Removed forced contrast increase

For interiors:
- Removed fake "reflected light" color
- Darker interiors
- Very dark dungeons
- Fixed saturation, the color balance was fine
- Removed bloom (candles still glow from particles)
- Removed forced contrast increase

For exteriors:
-Add vertex lighting
-Add colors to Solitude and Windhelm
-Add better textures for the dragons.
-Modify colors of the torches(Night and Days)


This affects all weather, all interiors, and all dungeons. Some special quest areas or quest weather states may not be affected.

Current Version:1.2

I have a Intel Core i7 3770k and a GTX 680 and it runs at 90fps.So the framerate doesn't drops a lot.

PS:There is weekly updates.

What is the name of the .esb for this mod? I ask because it seems that there may be a conflict between this one and the Realistic Lighting mod. Seems if I have one of them in place, the other just will NOT download.

Oh, jeez this is darker than I expected. Not sure why everyone saying why it doesn't work. I could see a BIG difference. Maybe it's because I don't have Special Edition?

This is gorgeous! I wish the vanilla game was like this. I was planning on quitting Skyrim and just switching to Morrowind until I got this and this made the game so much nicer to be in that I keep coming back into the game just to wait until sunset and watch the stars above. A+!

where in the loadorder should it be or what should be loaded first (weathermods, colour saturation...)

I like how all the people that complain are illiterate; haven't even tried the mod yet but I find it very amusing that people complain and can't spell..

I mean if they spent the same amount of time getting educated that they spend in games they could make legitimate complaints and people like me wouldn't mock them so easily lol. :steammocking:
