This is a default lighting mod that will override the lighting in all worlds. It is, in essence, a brighter, more saturated version of Fresh Cut Day, but with many different alterations. The clear weather uses st. claire’s sunrise, and an edited sunlit tides sunset. The cloudy weather uses a custom sunrise and st. claire’s sunset. There is also a custom storm weather that I added more blue and purple tones to instead of straight gray. Basically, I included all my favorite parts of each of my mods, and I based many parts off of real life photos of skylines, sunrises and sunsets.

It has a 50% chance of aurora skies auroras (send me a message if you’d like a particular water flavor altered in terms of auroras, sun/moon sizes, and whether you’d like tropical fog included). It also uses Ddefender’s dynamic shadows and lowered bloom (including on full moons). You do not need any of the previously stated worlds for this to work, it is base game compatible.
