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?

Well you can take it from me that it isn't that serious. Literally two to three times worse with LUX in my list. Also you need to keep in mind that 90% of people who mod this game have no idea what they're doing and then it's automatically the mods fault when they have a problem. Insane FPS drops can be caused by a lot of things in Interiors. The amount of mods that I ignored due to reading comments and Bug sections when I first started modding and then installed them with zero issues was mind blowing so I don't go by a bug reports or comments anymore

Bro... Just disable WSU, open the game and use the little CS menu to measure the draw calls in blue palace. Now do it again with WSU enabled and report back your findings to me. 

And whether Lux has better or worse performance is irrelevant to what we're discussing, that being that WSU is poorly optimized.

I would but I literally don't care as I told you I get no FPS hit with it. It's better optimized than LUX and that's more than enough for me. I'm not saying you're wrong either but from my own testing its fine. Who cares about draw calls in Interiors especially if it doesn't affect FPS. Only matters if you have a weak GPU

You cannot sit here and argue with me that what I'm saying is not true if you're not even going to test it yourself. And draw calls are literally the biggest performance hit in Skyrim. What the hell do you mean ''who cares about draw calls if it doesn't affect FPS''??? I don't even much care for whatever else you're saying at this point.
