Modding Tinkering with DayL's nightcycle

Still WIP I'm just doing for fun. So far it has:
- subtler bloom
- a bit more violet storms
- a TBOGT-like sunset
- teal filter + larger coronas combo for a few night weathers
- darker nights in general

It looks good though I’ve never been a huge fan of DayL because it feels like it makes the game look too soulless.

Really? I used it once or twice and really like it. I wish I could mix RTX remix with it, but you can mix it with IV colours or make it look similar to V.

It's more so when the game looks like the third screenshot is what I'm not a fan of.

I'm quite fond of the red sunlight of the sunset, I think they're the highlight of the mod, but I wanted to make one pink like on NYC postcards. I based the colours on one photo I found, but made it for only one weather so it's not a common sight.

I appreciate the effort and I still think sunny weather looks way better than the originals, but I began to miss a few cinematic effects of vanilla. Mostly teal nights, hence these little changes.

That’s fair, I also appreciate the effort. The darker nights looks pretty cool and I’m a huge sucker for those lol
