Never Dark Skies mod doesn't seem to be working

[RikOz]

I've successfully used the Never Dark Skies mod in the past, but now it doesn't seem to work. Well, it works in Dark Astoria (very nice zone, when you can actually see it). I added the mod again to override the constant nighttime during the Halloween event (I absolutely can't stand constant nighttime, especially for an entire month). That had worked in the past, but did not work this year.

 

Thinking that this year's changes to the Halloween night cycles were interfering with how the mod works, I uninstalled it and waited until the event was over before reinstalling it. Alas, it still doesn't work. Except, as noted, in DA.

I used the mod during the Halloween event this year with no issue, and it still works fine for me, so something is wrong on your end.  We'll need to work through what though.  First off please use Tools -> Support Bundle in the installer with your Forum username here so I can take a look.  You can also try installing the Corrupted Mod and make sure your game crashes as expected, if not that narrows down the possibilities quickly.

Support Bundle uploaded.

 

Corrupted Mod installed, game crashed.

Ok, got your support bundle, everything *looks* ok.  You've got several other mods installed, and all of those work as expected too?

All other mods are working correctly.

 

However, it occurred to me to look at other environment-altering mods, and I had the "Smog Free CoH" mod installed. I've uninstalled that, perhaps there is a conflict between the two mods. I'll check once I'm out of my current mission.

Okay, after uninstalling Smog Free CoH, Peregrine Island's sky looked nice and bright. I did an indoor mission, and when I came back out the sky was still nice and sunny.

 

Same sky in Talos Island, and it appears to be the same sky in the "Jamison Office Park" outdoor mission map.

 

So yeah, it looks like the Smog Free CoH mod interferes with Never Dark Skies.

[Michiyo]

That would make sense, both mods change the same scene files, and the game loads piggs alphabetically, so SmogFreeCoH would load after NeverDarkSkies.

Looks like this is fixed! Thanks for the help!
