Description:
Nights are Darker is a simple, lightweight mod for people who wish to preserve the vanilla weather aesthetic whilst darkening nights.
Nights are Darker aims to increase the immersion and creepiness of the Fallout world.
Consider the Friend of the Night perk and Cateye when venturing outdoors at night.

Details:
Nights Are Darker edits vanilla weather and image space modifiers darkening nights throughout the Mojave Wasteland by 60 - 75%, emphasizing local and ambient lighting over directional "sun" lighting.
So basically if there isn't a light there it's going to be dark, I highly recommend using MoonlightNVSE alongside NaD.
Make sure you have your monitor brightness levels set correctly, ALONG with the in-game settings.
Compatibility:
Not compatible with weather mods, or mods that edit vanilla weather assets.
