About this mod

WHAT IT DOES: It makes the nights MUCH darker, aswell as slightly increasing the daytime brightness and desaturating all of the colors by a very small amount. Fog distance moved VERY far back, as you can see in the screenshots, now you can actually admire the distant landscape! The darker nights DO AFFECT your sneaking ability.

Permissions and credits
CURRENT VERSION: 5




ATTENTION! This mod has ONLY been tested with HDR, if using Bloom or None in your Options it can cause overly bright day skys (to the point of being pure white). Thanks to Silverglade for letting me know.



The newest version comes with 2 variations, Medium and Dark (only use one at a time though!):

>> ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights v5 - Dark
- Same darkness as previous version 4 however, the night vision, and friend of the night got a substantial boost to brightness. Before they were rather dim.

>> ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights v5 - Medium
- Noticeably brighter than version 4 however, the night vision, and friend of the night got a substantial boost to brightness. Before they were rather dim.



The older version with 3 variations (only use one at a time though!):

>> ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights v4
- Very dark nights, days are brighter, less saturated with no orange tint, draw distance is very far out.

>> ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights v4 Alternate
- Very dark nights, days are brighter, less saturated, draw distance is far out, but not as far as the original version 4.

>> ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights v4 Alternate 2
- Nights are much darker than normal but noticeably brighter than original version 4, draw distance and daytime are the same as ACF Brighter Days and Darker Nights Alternate.

I edited the following items to accomodate my changes:

- Friend of the Night perk: Increased brightness.
- Cateye: Increased brightness.
- Night Vision Scope: Increased brightness. I tried to stay true to the current 3rd Generation (GEN3) Night Vision scopes currently in use by the U.S military.
- Pip-boy: The light radius is quadrupled (15*4).
- Binoculars: Added night vision and nearly doubled the zoom capabilites.
- The night vision overlay effect automatically shuts off during the day.
