- Hi @texxx78
Take a look at the following thread where several players have detailed their use of lighting mods along with some stunning pictures so you can see what they look like. Just so you are aware you can only use on lighting mod at a time and it will affect all the worlds you are playing. I use one lighting mod per world and change them depending on the world I am playing at the time.

- You are very welcome @texxx78
- I swear by BrntWaffles (or was it BrntWffls?) I cant remember, but "burnt waffles" atleast in some variation. They've got some AMAZING skies. I've tried a couple. Can't remember which one I have now, but it's one that sort of fits all worlds. I used to have some that were very "tropical" looking if that makes sense.
Oh yeah it's called Dream Dimension 2.5 I believe. And the skyrim-star map. But I'd love an ever nicer star map tbh.
And I would love a mod or something for even heavier clouds during rain. Sometimes it's pouring rain and thunder but hardly any real "stormy" look. - Thanks @shakeninsane i'll take a look :)
- Hi @texxx78
Most of the lighting mods being used on the link I gave you will probably be by the creator Brntwaffles who I had forgotten is on Hiatus so lifesimmer has put the lighting mods up on their site for download. Just remember when downloading/using a lighting mod it changes the world water colors as well so when you find a lighting mod you like you will also get a list of choices for the water colors you might like too. For example in one of my worlds I am using the Fresh cut day sky mod but then I have a choice of 7 different water colors to choose from as well so my advice is to start with one and move down the list until you find the right combination of the sky and water colours you like the look off and want to keep.
More on the following download links:

Also you can add seperate moon, stars, sun and clouds mods to a lighting mod if the lighting mod has not tweaked any of those things as part of the package. I think though maybe it might be a good idea to find your fav lighting mods before you start thinking of all the other addons lol
@shakeninsane
Have you ever tried Brntwaffles Midnight hollow sky mod? I haven't as yet but I know other players love the dark vibe?

I have never been able to find anything dark either even just a clouds mod. i once did a lot of looking because I wanted to play a kind of dark world where the sun barley shines and there was a lot of crime too :) - Thank you so much for your availability @SPARKY1922 :)
- You are very welcome @texxx78
There is also a Brntwaffles water comparison with names on the following link so you can compare water colors to go with your lighting mod:
