After playing some more with the sweet fx i think the nights are too dark.Talked with the author of the "Dynamic Environment" mod about a more brighter "Brighter nights" version , but he told me it would be easier to look in the sweetfx settings.
So i think the shadows should be adjusted some more.

Anyway here are some nice prints with the sweet fx

After doing some research i found this ... https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com...ft-gamma-gain/ , for adjusting the shadows and controlling the light.Also i found a sweetfx configurator which lets u make changes in real time http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/?p=91, u can find how to use it on youtube tutorials.

Good information and nice screenshots Dodo11, thank you for sharing

Good work Sjizzle

At first glance I can say color looks much more balanced now. In my opinion dark tones are still a bit too dark though. Look at the bottom left part of the bullwark. It is not uniformly black, yet details are hardly discernible.

Hmm , i think i will give a try too , to mess a little with the sweetfx , maybe make the shadows less darken.Still reading about sweetfx on some forums.
Except the night time i love the look of the game with the sweet fx.

Here is a new set of pictures. --> https://imgur.com/a/1MHTl <--
It's 2 sets of night pictures with Sweet FX on/off, taken in almost the same second.
Images with darker HUD is with Sweet FX ON.

And as a bonus I added a nice day time screenshot, showing of the beauty of this sweet FX.
First with SweetFX on
Second with SweetFX off

Ok , so i think i found something.
I activated "Lift Gamma Gain" option and adjusted only the shadows "Rgb Lift" from 1.000 (neutral) to 1.028.

Here are some prints.In game u will see a better difference.
