Torches for Realistic Lighting

Description
FRENCH VERSION: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11897


Nexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8741
Version 1: Increased radius and torch life (12 minutes)
Version 2: Increased radius; default torch life (4 minutes) ONLY ON THE NEXUS!
Version 3: Increased radius and eternal torch life ONLY ON THE NEXUS!
Version 4: Increased radius and 8 minute torch life ("Happy Medium") ONLY ON THE NEXUS!


Also try my custom ini: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9287


Note: Does NOT conflict with the Dynamic Torches mod.
Note 2: Works with any graphics mod, such as RCRN or FXAA Injector.


I use the Realistic Lighting mod with my own custom ini and found torches to be very necessary for traveling at night or in dungeons. I also found the vanilla torches light radius to be too small for practical use. I was constantly running into traps, or other obstacles, that should have been obvious but weren't visible until directly in front of me. So I simply tweaked the light radius distance to get a balance between pracicality for the user and fairness to the game itself.

Feel free to leave a suggestion, or a request.


UPDATE 1:
Increased torch light radius from 712 to 762.
Increased torch light shadow radius from 512 to 762.
Increased torch life time from 4 minutes to 12 minutes.

UPDATE 2:
Version with the default torch life time: 4 minutes. Only on the Nexus page.

I just was looking for this! Torches are super useless and I have some realistic lighting mods and nights are so dark

I would load True Torches before CoT and RCRN.

Perhaps there is a load order problem? what do you recommend Monophonotronic

I haven't noticed a difference other than the torches are dimmer... i do have a lot of mods installed but the only ones that are lighting-related are CoT, RCRN, and this one. How can I fix?

@Playtheist

To my knowledge nothing has changed. Possibly an unknown or unlisted change from another mod.

Odd, but of late these have become infinte-duration torches for me. They seem to work fine in every other respect. I've used your mod for many months. Did something update recently in the game, or on Steam?

Looks really good- thank you! :) Thanks also for putting it on Steam. Convenient. :bolt:

Finally,a mod to make it brighter with a mod to make it darker. (it makes sense out loud)
