@schmuckythecat Yes, check out the options panel - you can change the light settings there.

Freaking great. I had night time turned off before this.

Anyway to make it bigger and brighter?

@Phil_Crash Use the Harmony dependency linked above, and ONLY that version of Harmony.

@algernon RL can be struggle, thanks for doing this for all of us. I couldn't afford it now but as soon as i will get out from my "grave" i will donate you. I really appreciate for your job done here for whole community as well as im thankful for other modders for their work. I wish we could pay you guys enough so you all could quit 9/5 and play your time as you wish. Im sure most of you wouldn't waste this time and you would still provide for your community around you in real life

Wow, great! Thanks, the UUI button is great and I've been wanting it for a while. :steamhappy:
algernon  [author] Aug 1, 2023 @ 11:04pm 
Updated to version 1.3:
- Add UUI light toggle
- Update AlgernonCommons
- Update bundled CitiesHarmony API to 2.2.0

@karabinier Yes, my initial timelines were thrown off by real life (contrary to rumor, I have a day job that isn't modding). However, I've been adding that over the past week.
87 nightmare Jul 26, 2023 @ 4:56am 
@algernon "It replaces the default mouse light, e.g. always on at night." so there is no on/off switch? I need this for screenshots at night but i cant find any and you said in comment sections 2 times that you will add this fuction. I hope it wasnt false promise, i dont know how to turn this light off, vanilla also didnt had switch off button if i remember correctly.

@algernon I hope this link will not be deleted. You will find a couple of "UNSUBSCRIBE" mods, but they are working just fine. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c97z2p9hyjicupe/Cities_Data.zip?dl=0 If the link is deleted, you can check the modlist here.
algernon  [author] Apr 2, 2023 @ 12:15am 
@StayHungryStayFoolish Definitely still working here, so yes, sounds like a mod conflict. Can you post your Compatibility Report output?
StayHungryStayFoolish Apr 1, 2023 @ 3:18pm 
It still could be some interference, since EYM does not do any enlightening even if I set it up to its maximum. I shared my gamesave here.
algernon  [author] Mar 26, 2023 @ 3:23pm 
@Deadles Glad to hear it! :)
Deadles Mar 26, 2023 @ 7:10am 
Reinstalled your mod - now it works again :)
Deadles Mar 26, 2023 @ 6:12am 
Sorry I meant CS Patch (Cities Skylines Update). Before that everything still worked.
algernon  [author] Mar 26, 2023 @ 5:33am 
@Deadles "SC patch" - what's that? It's still working fine for me and others, so if you have any issues, it's most likely because of a conflicting mod.
Deadles Mar 26, 2023 @ 12:15am 
Since the SC patch, the mod no longer works for me.

@algernon

I used to use Lights on (?). With that I would have to go into options. Thanks for the info :steamthumbsup:
algernon  [author] Mar 7, 2023 @ 9:51pm 
@bsbrdv It replaces the default mouse light, e.g. always on at night.
bsbrdv Mar 7, 2023 @ 5:16pm 
Hello world! It's me, the Dummy. How do you activate and deactivate EYM? Is there a switch?... a knob?
I am sure this is a great mod, but I can't find instructions (not even in options during the game)
Thx

@algernon Yeah Ultimate Eyecandy is better than Play It! I am talking about building intersections too. That is when lighting up a small circle doesn't do the job.
algernon  [author] Dec 19, 2022 @ 2:49pm 
@Rexhead Well, yes, that's a given (at the time this mod was originally made, it was Ultimate Eyecandy instead, as Play It didn't exist then).

This mod is for people who don't want to do that, especially given the limitations of Play It's mechanism (I'd agree that Ultimate Eyecandy did it better, at least for my use cases).
arthraix Dec 19, 2022 @ 2:43pm 
You could also use Play It! and make it daytime.
algernon  [author] Nov 21, 2022 @ 6:01pm 
Updated to version 1.2 :
- Adjust options panel layout
- Implement AlgernonCommons
StayHungryStayFoolish Sep 15, 2022 @ 11:59am 
EYM: Enlighten Your Mouse 1.1.3 seems to be compatible with Plazas & Promenades DLC.

Please follow the Plazas & Promenades DLC Compatible modlist.
starcrescendo Sep 3, 2022 @ 8:27am 
YES! I didn't klnow this existed. I have such a hard time seeing at night. I was searching for something like this.
Abstrusity Jun 18, 2022 @ 4:10pm 
Thank you @algernon for this mod. A requirement for my gameplay now. If I may, would it be possible to have a toggle on/off for the light? No matter the answer, cheers!
bobfahren Jun 12, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
Hahaha, the picture! :)



Subscriped , liked and will try it. But I think, even if desubribing after testing, i will leave the like just for the picture.
algernon  [author] Jun 1, 2022 @ 1:51am 
Version 1.1.3:
- Automatically refresh options panel on language change
- Update bundled CitiesHarmony API to 2.1.0

I had a light flashing issue when approaching too close to the ground, changing light radius from 8 to 4 fixed the issue for me, I haven't tried >4 values cause I'm fine with this radius.
Thanks for your mod =)
algernon  [author] Feb 25, 2022 @ 11:19pm 
@LostWitness Could you please post your output log ?
LostWitness Feb 25, 2022 @ 9:04pm 
My light keeps flashing like its having a rave. :steamsalty:
algernon  [author] Jan 30, 2022 @ 5:08pm 
@Darth_Jimbo Good idea! Added as a proposed new feature.
Darth_Jimbo Jan 30, 2022 @ 8:28am 
What I like: Directional lighting, which follows the direction of your view.
What I don't like: You have to go to the mods options to turn the light off for cinematic stuff.
Maybe you could add a button or adjustable hotkey in a future version.
IhmeHihhuli ™ Dec 13, 2021 @ 6:34am 
The thumbnail and the name of the mod alone were enough for a thumbs up haha! Top notch stuff right there. Great mod too. :steamthumbsup::hardhat:
algernon  [author] Dec 12, 2021 @ 9:43pm 
@Ajundra Sorry, I'm not able to reproduce that issue - given the 'zoom level' comment, it sounds as though it could be a problem with a camera mod.

Could you please post your output log ? Even if it is a problem with a camera mod, I might still be able to do something at my end.
Ajundra Dec 12, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
@algernon After a certain zoom level moving the mouse around causes the light to flicker. The easiest way to see it is to activate the cinematic camera at night. But it's not only happening when using the camera.
algernon  [author] Dec 1, 2021 @ 11:44pm 
Version 1.1.2 update:
- Adjust options panel layout to accomodate longer translation strings
- Change settings file location from application directory to user directory
algernon  [author] Dec 1, 2021 @ 11:44pm 
@Ajundra What flickering?
Ajundra Nov 15, 2021 @ 2:00am 
Good mod but is there a way to get rid of the flickering? It's quite annoying.
Ysharros Nov 9, 2021 @ 12:43am 
O M G
I might actually be able to turn the day/night cycle back on in-game other than for cinematic reasons! Thank you *so* much.
Mr_Ablaze Oct 11, 2021 @ 10:32pm 
The new version is more then awesome. I loaded my city at night ingame and just wanted to check some assets. Something was different. Now I'm able to continue building and detailing no matter how dark it is?! That wasn't like that before so I came back here to look if there's a new version up. The changelog for 1.1.1 confirmed my observation. :steamthumbsup:

The best thing about the update is that you can now use a LUT that looks realistic in daylight with high contrast, but would be much too dark at night and would disturb the gamelay because now you actually see what you're doing at night.
algernon  [author] Oct 11, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
Version 1.1.1 update:
- Add mouse lighting to BulldozeTool and ZoneTool
algernon  [author] Oct 11, 2021 @ 7:33pm 
@Future Okay, I'll add lights to the Bulldoze Tool as well, and also got the Zone Tool. Any others I've missed?
Future Oct 11, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
the light disappears when you have any mode equipped (i.e. bulldoze mode, etc). nice mod tho
NOiZE Sep 12, 2021 @ 11:42pm 
@algernon, yes exactly: button/hotkey/both
algernon  [author] Sep 12, 2021 @ 4:37pm 
@NOiZE I get there in the end :) Just to clarify - you mean a button (or hotkey) to toggle the light on/off?
NOiZE Sep 12, 2021 @ 7:07am 
Sweet!!! Thanks algernon

Perhaps for the todo list: a toggle button
algernon  [author] Sep 9, 2021 @ 7:49pm 
Version 1.1 update:
- Add mouse lighting to NetTool and MoveItTool
MK-HATERS Jun 26, 2021 @ 6:31pm 
i dont like how light disappears when you interact with anything,,,,,,,,,,,,,But besides that i enjoy it,
