If you are a Steam Workshop user please check the new RCRN Steam Workshop Installation Guide, you can find it here!
This system also grants an improved management of the weather, all days are different, enjoy the realistic dynamic lighting during cloudy and clear days! Enjoy a new way to play Skyrim!
Realistic Colors and Real Nights uses the power behind FXAA Post Process Injector to generate a new and realistic color palette and an enhanced night-time gameplay experience. Finely tuned for indoor and outdoor scenes, CHECK the SCREENSHOTS below!
You can also find Realistic Colors and Real Nights on SkyrimNexus. Please REMEMBER to endorse and vote for RCRN after downloading! Thanks!
The new “Color Layer System” is not a “+100@saturation” like all mods out here, but is a new system based on a series of “cold sepia effects“, everything in this mod is developed with really low saturation values.

Hi! I have experinced problem with your mod. (this mod made the most beutiful color enchant i have ever saw) So the problem is when the mod is turned on the dynamic on the trees and bushes are begin lagging (i mean the foliage “wind” animation is begin lagging after the mod is on) . When i press the pause button and back to vanilla version everything back to normal. So please check it please do you experience the same problem as me? Thank i want to realy use your mod all the time.
hello! Thanks for downloading. please check if you are using the latest drivers available for your VGA (beta versions are highly suggested), using outdated drivers may cause issues!
i checked the problem with the Post Process injector and with that mod i havent experince the lagging wind animation. So i think there is something wrong with your mod.
the mod is ok, no issues at all with animations, please check if you are using the latest vga drivers and if there is something wrong with your skyrimprefs.ini!
hi sorry to bother you again, but i checket i have the latest driver and still experiencing the problem i try to record with fraps and upload on youtube
here is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnoYV7tBes&feature=youtu.be
maybe it’s something related to your skyrimprefs.ini, can you try again with a clean .ini? (keep a backup copy of your older one
)
after installing this, the graphics adapter in my options switched to my Intel card and not my dedicated gt555m. the option is gone to choose it. any solutions?
Same problem, when I install the mod my nvidia 540M disapears from the launcher and only the integrated card displays in the launcher. The dedicated card appears again if I uninstall RCRN. Anyone know a fix for this?
