Modding-OpenMW.com

On its own, this mod is a set of configuration values that make nights darker. Note that no data path is needed for this, just the openmw.cfg tweaks listed below.

If you're also using True Lights and Darkness - Necro Edit or True Lights and Darkness, there is a plugin to go along with them.

These values need to be added to openmw.cfg:

If you're also using Skies .IV (followers of Expanded Vanilla, Graphics Overhaul, and Total Overhaul this applies to you) then omit the last ten lines (mentioning _Cloud_Speed) to avoid clouds that move too fast.
