This mod removes the interior distant fog in all interiors of the vanilla game, Dawnguard and Hearthfire, and is intended to replace the old Remove Ambient Interior Fog, that can be considered outdated and abandoned now after 10 months of inactivity. I saw a lot of people complaining about some remaining bugs and places not affected by the mod, so i decided to fix those issues and update that mod. Also, i saw that many people were asking for Dawnguard support, then i decided to give that support and more... Hearthfire support too!
My goal with this mod was to stay faithful to the changes made in the Remove Ambient Interior Fog mod. This means that my mod uses the same values for the fog levels used in RAIF.
NOTE: This mod only removes the distant interior fog, it doesn't remove the floating mist particles. If you want to remove those, use the mod Interior and Dungeon Fog Remover
NOTE 2: This mod is already cleaned with the latest build of TES5Edit to make it clean and avoid conflicts.

MODULES
Here you can see a brief description of the different versions available. Pay atention to make sure you will use the right version for your game.
This mod is composed by 3 modules and a Full Version module: 1 for the vanilla game, 1 for Dawnguard and 1 for Hearthfire. The Full Version is a module for people that have all the DLCs as it coves the vanilla game and the DLCs
BASE MODULE REMOVE INTERIOR FOG V2 - SKYRIM - That is the base module and it covers all vanilla interiors! Use this version if you dont have the DLCs or if you have only one of them!
DAWNGUARD MODULE REMOVE INTERIOR FOG V2 - DAWNGUARD - That is the Dawnguard module and it covers all Dawnguard interiors! Use this version together with the base module if you have the Dawnguard DLC!
HEARTHFIRE MODULE REMOVE INTERIOR FOG V2 - HEARTHFIRE - That is the Hearthfire module and it covers all Hearthfire interiors! Use this version together with the base module if you have the Hearthfire DLC!
FULL VERSION MODULE REMOVE INTERIOR FOG V2 - FULL VERSION - That is the Full Version module and it covers all Vanilla, Dawnguard and Hearthfire interiors! Use this version instead of the other modules if you have all the DLCs. DONT USE BOTH!!!
JUST TO MAKE SURE:
IF YOU HAVE DAWNGUARD AND HEARTHFIRE, USE THE FULL VERSION "REMOVE INTERIOR FOG V2 - FULL VERSION" MODULE ONLY!!! DONT USE IT WITH THE OTHER MODULES OR YOU CAN EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS!!!
INSTALLATION AND LOAD ORDER
INSTALL: Just extract the .rar in your Skyrim main folder.
UNINSTALL: Delete the modules you used, in your Skyrim\Data folder.
LOAD ORDER: Open the Launcher, click on Data and put the modules below any lighting or lighting placement mod you are using.
If you use the separate modules, the load order must be:
Remove Interior Fog V2 - Hearthfire.esp
Remove Interior Fog V2 - Dawnguard.esp
Remove Interior Fog V2 - Skyrim.esp
IMPORTANT: Sometimes, mods you recently added to your game will not work. To fix this bug, after you install the mod, open the Launcher, disable the mod and close the Launcher. Open the Launcher again, enable the mod and put it on the right load order. This will fix mods not loading.
FUTURE PLANS
My plans for the future is to keep supporting this mod until there's no more official DLCs and Skyrim gets outdated. This means i will update this mod for EVERY new DLC released. I will try to answer every question as fast as i can and fix eventual bugs, so if you find any bugs, please tell me the location you found it!
COMPATIBILITY
This mod is compatible with pretty much any mod, except for mods that do the same thing.
RECOMMENDED MODS
Here is a list of mods i really recommend you guys give a try. All of them compatible with my mod.
Realistic Lighting - I couldn't start my recomendations without RL in the first place. Imo the best lighting mod for Skyrim. I made 3 videos for this mod, so i couldnt recomend more!
IMPORTANT: My mod is only compatible up to version 3.5. When RL 4.0 gets released, my mod will be useless if you use RL 4.0 as it will remove the interior fog.
Relighting Skyrim - This mod changes the bad lighting placement of vanilla Skyrim, so if you like realism and immersion you definitely need to use this mod.
Relighting Skyrim - Dawnguard Edition - This mod does the same as the above mod, but its the Dawnguard version.
Wearable Lanterns - If you use Realistic Lighting mod, then this mod is a must for you, as it add the possibility to use a lantern in your belt without having to sacrifice a hand.
