{Description}
Enhanced Lights and FX has the goal to create a more dramatic and realistic mood
to the Skyrim
lights by adding lights to all light sources and removing any light without a so
urce, as well
as the addition many more effects like smoke, volumic lights, driples, etc. I ma
de some friendly

This mod will looks better with any mod or ENB that darkens interiors.
