My screen goes dark when I´m in game

but when I go into setting in game the brightness returns to normal or when I leave the game and change to a chrome tab or something, the loading screen is alsodark as well as the main menu, this just started happening today, the only new cc I installed were mirrored dreams rapunzel hairs 1 and 2 and the rapunzel dress and the merida hair. Could this be caused by a mod?

    Maybe it was because my laptop wasn´t plugged in and it was trying to save energy i don´t know.

  • SageThePlanty  That is probably exactly the reason.  Most laptops have settings to preserve battery life that can't be completely turned off, and a bright screen is a significant drain on the battery.  Even without the screen issue, you'll always get better performance with the laptop plugged in and charging.
