Today is the RCRN anniversary (2.1.4) of this very popular mod that not only adjusts the lightning, but also gives you new weather affects and a very easy adjustment of graphical settings. As the developer states : RCRN is a total lighting and shaders revamp, it grants you an immersive gameplay experience without ruining the original feeling, finely tuned for indoor and outdoor scenes it also provides an incredible dynamic experience, weathers, lighting sources and HDR are dynamically generated and managed with our Hybrid Shaders engine!
