    Hey everyone, I could use some help!

    Please see Image, It's 10 o'clock in the morning, and I'm having this weird issue in Train Sim World 5 (PC version) with the Brighton Main Line (BML). London Victoria has plunged into darkness — no station lights at all!, and it's the same for all other stations on the route during the night. Completely pitch black!

    I've installed quite a few mods, but I'm not sure which one might be causing this issue. I'd really rather not uninstall all my mods if I can avoid it.

    Has anyone else had this problem or know which mod could be the culprit? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Mod issue

    If you are using my TOD4 mod, it doesn't work with night lighting, only use in daylight conditions (as TOD3 lightsources are way too dim for TOD4 environment). Seeing the dark PIS, it seems you are using a TOD4 mod.

    And what's the issue with removing mods for testing? Takes a few seconds only, mods are not "installed" as they don't write to Registry or such. Just move the paks away, test, move them back. Or just rename the suffix to disable them.

    Even easier, use a mod manager.

    I had no idea MOD Manager software even existed! But I managed to track down the issue. Thanks a lot for the help!"

    It was an incompatible MOD.

    It's not incompatible per se. The description says it only works in daylight conditions. :)

    Thanks, I have a good handful of mods by Spikee1975 and was not sure I had this one, Will give it a go and see how it works out, I have the Enhanced ini from Jetwash and a couple of other ToD mods I think are still installed but will see.

    Note that JetWash's ini is tuned for TOD3 on the old routes my mod applies to, and may look off when using the TOD4 mod.

    :Correction: I was too to quick to jump on PC while I had a bit of time while my daughter was away from the PC :)
    The New Version for TSW5 routes are ToDv4 Correct?, With plenty of OLD DLCs, it makes sense and Noted, and Will see what happens, it won't be the first time I broke something, :) nor removing and reinstalling many many mods to find just #1 was the culprit.

    Mate - the mod does exactly what it says. It is redirecting the route to use the TOD4 physically based lighting skies.

    It does not and cannot remaster a route, as all lightsources would have to be replaced and light baking to be adapted to new lighting. Only DTG can do it. So please don't try to report "bugs" - it is a simple demonstrational mod.

    Hello!

    I will stop releasing mods of that kind and keep them to myself if people cannot read descriptions.

    No No I was not trying to do that, and I understand that DTG needs to make the corrections not you or any modder, I was only showing what I saw and with your mod, it would seem that it did make little difference. But it is what is and I would not expect you to do all the work of fixing these issues. I understand mate, and if need be I will remove the images and correct the post as needed.

    You type faster than I as I'm a southpaw typer. I will remove the edit and remove the images
    My apologies for the confusion.
