I respect and thank every mod creator, but I have to admit that after 9 years, the simplest and most effective mods in terms of light and shadow effects are still those from 8 years ago.
this 4 mods combination still cannot be replaced, such as' Render It! ',' Lumina ', and' Relight '. Although these complex mods are more flexible and free, they require patience to adjust the values. Most players just want to achieve a simple and beautiful light and shadow effect.
What I most want to adjust is the part of the building that faces away from the light. The latest Mod [Natural Lighting] can replace [Daylight Classic], but still cannot fully replace [Softer Shadows]
I fully understand that the latest mods are better, more efficient and more reliable and secure than the original Relight . But all these others lack only one thing: simplicity. This one is simple to use. Since I only use Render It for sharpening textures, I see no problem using this one. Just don't change anything other than the textures in Render It and the two mods can coexist in peace. Unfortunately Render It makes things very difficult, every time I change a setting I have to open the context menu and change another one and with the drop in fps that the modified cities imposes on us, I get more bald than I already am, losing patience.
LUT is already very well provided by Theme Mixer and the new Lumina simply won't let me use the functions of the original relight if I have both installed. This is too sad, so I can't abandon this mod. It's an idea for Nyoko to make some separate mods that are compatible with his ecosystem (mainly post-process and sharpening textures but in a independent solution for each one so that we don't have to be prevented from using 100% of what lumina has to offer) so that we don't have to depend only on Render It and its interface (sorry, I know it's rude to say this, I really appreciate Keallu's effort but the interface is to say the least) difficult.
RenderIt! is similar to Relight, but achieving the same look *exactly* is not feasable. Saying it can be a 1:1 replacement is misrepresenting RenderIt!
Relight not only changes the lighting, it also changes atmosphere, i.e. how the light interacts with the environment. RenderIt! does not, as it is Post-Processing, meaning that its effects get applied *after* the game has rendered each frame. Relight changes *how* the game is rendered (and then applies its own settings in post).
Atmosphere settings are available in Theme Manager 2.5 for example. Combined with RenderIt! and a good amount of patience, you can achieve looks similar to Relight. Personally I'd rather create something new with all these options (and I have, without Relight).
If you like the Relight look, stick with it. There is no technical reason to switch. FWIW, Shadow Strength Adjuster still works fine, too (not essential in my personal opinion).
RenderIt is a newer alternative that is supposed to have the functionalities of all three included.
Relight [Steam ID 1209581656] by Ronyx69
- The successor of this mod is:
* [Steam ID 1794015399] Render It!

Is this correct, I wonder where these 2 mods have issues?
Play it
Render it
I also recommend:
More Relight LUTs
"Yes, Relight and Render It is actually quite different. It's not only to the existence of a specific feature but also in terms of "adjusting the color tone", the internal behavior is independent."
