Description:

This simple? (Ha!) little mod changes the Skybox, lighting color, and light direction to a Sunset environment. Maybe about 4 or 4:30 pm?

Only the last preview image shows the changed lighting angle, the rest were taken while fooling around with the "fog color". -(added images with Snow Mod and USA environment. These have the modified Light Direction.)

Um, that’s it, nothing else, … just a sunset, umm … great for screenshots?

Please don’t forget to rate this mod up if you like it, if you don’t like it, why be a little Richard about it? If you have some constructive suggestions for improvement, I am more than happy to listen.

PLEASE STOP ASKING for a Day-Night Cycle, it is just not possible due to the way the game code is written, ie, it is IMPOSSIBLE. You would be better off extracting blood from a stone.

Simply put, the game uses a static skybox, it is not animated, is does not move or do anything. It is simply a large box that surrounds the map with static HDR images pasted on it’s interior surfaces to give the appearances of a sky, hence the term "skybox". If you tried to paste an animated image type (.flc, .gif, etc.) into what the game thinks is a static .HDR image, the game will just crash.

The game uses an accelerated time scale, it has no "hours" or "minutes", just "days", "months", and "years" so there is no logical way to tie an animated skybox into it.

The game’s models have no light emitters nor timers for light emitters, therefor night would just be dark, everywhere, … and not very good looking. There is a "Night Mod" in the Workshop if you want to test this.

Unless the developers rewrite the game engine code for a Day-Night skybox, it can never, ever be done by creating or modifying .lua and .blob files.
