Elfx still putting up a good fight after so many years without an update, but Lux is truly unbeatable at the moment. The focus on natural lighting makes most spaces look gorgeous.

[flamonstpm]

The shadow of Lux is more natural, however the dusting effects on the window light are too aggressive.

One thing I really like about Lux is how it has patches for CC content. When I ran ELFX, vanilla interiors would look amazing, but when I went into a CC added dungeon, it would be back to vanilla lighting. I like that Lux keeps things consistent with both vanilla and Creation Club content. However, it is WAY too dark for me.

Great video! Straight to the point and a direct comparison between all the mods. Loved it and thank you 🙏

[heksogen]

One thing i dislike in Lux is overly strong particle/dust moving effect.

[kellynichols]

I honestly think ELFX is hard to beat I’ve tried LUX but I’m just not satisfied overall some areas are too bright others are too dark I think ELFX has the right balance overall. I’ve been using the hardcore “plugin” and another mod called “the draugr horde new version” man it really makes those dungeons and caves a nightmare to survive! With “wildcat combat” also it’s definitely a challenge.

[StevenSvN]

One thing I love about ELFX hardcore is that it works perfectly with realistic ai detection. Makes it so npcs won't find you so easily in the dark.

[TheChillDeadpool]

My only problem with LUX is in dragon reach where the room with the map on the table after you go up the stairs is way too dark in a transition from going from that room to another is dramatic in lighting

[OdysseusGamingSkyrimMods]

Brilliant video Fabricio, fantastic comparison of some great lighting mods. I know these take a lot of time to make so thankyou for this 👍

[EliahHoliday]

What issue I have with a number of lighting mods is a considerable lack of indirect ambient light. That and this incessant need to make everything in a warm golden hue. Lux for the most part is way too dark, except for when it does the opposite in some scenes which is weird.

[spacepirate]

I used Lux for such a long time and now I realize how off it is most of the time. It's like Lux is made to get lighting from only the light sources put by Bethesda artists no matter how it look while ELFX is only focusing on how it look, faking light bounce and global illumination like what a videogame lighting artist should do.

[juliangaskin]

I use ELFX Hardcore Plugin. I like my dungeons and crypts pitch black. When you kill those first two bandits in the entrance to Bleaks Falls Barrow and past the campfire, once you walk down those stairs with the cobwebs.... TOTAL

[ElcatOwO]

A external lighting comparison video of tamriel master lights, elfx and lux would be nice

[yudhaxn]

moving back to ELFX, lux gives me a lot of CTD by its meshes

[RohannvanRensburg]

Lux looks fantastic and looks the most realistic, but it depends on whether you want that level of realistic darkness. Nighttime in pseudo-Scandinavia circa 1000AD would be pretty damn dark all the time.

[bopbop]

Very impressive and usefull showcase, thank you!

[Red-yvut]

I wish Lux would have an add on to fix some areas. Because some areas are just way too dark, I don’t want to spend times in places where I can barely see the half of the NPC’s face

[FamilyGutsPeterGriffith]

ELFX Shadow (enhancer/hardcore) - if you like realistic lighting. dark areas are entirely dark and and the light sources are the only light sources.
LUX- for players who like visual pleasing yet realistic lighting.

[marcosbrolio]

Lux too me in some Spaces is too dark and have some textures lost and flickiring light sometimes, trying to fix
