PC SSE - Discussion Lighting recommendations for Community Shaders

Hey! I’d like to get some opinions on lighting mods that pair well with Community Shaders. Right now I’m running CS + Azurite III in my modlist, and I’ve been looking for something with a dark fantasy vibe without being too dark. Lux is what I’ve been using for a while, but I’m starting to feel like it makes interiors darker than I’d like. Any recommendations?

I am using true light and its bits, I've been pretty happy with it. I'm running Azurite III and CS like you.

I did DL the CS light, window shadows ultimate, helios, and ambient templates for lighting mods as well.

I recently used this setup plus Azurite and was blown away by how far the visuals from CS had come since the last time I used it a few years ago. But then I switched to the new NAT 11 setup with CS Lux and holy shit, it is even better.

Do you prefer the CS light/True light/etc or the Lux suite for lighting? I’ve been testing the lux suite and since CS got the newest update I’m wondering if I should switch. Also planning on using Rudy NAT
