How to light up a room for screenshots?

[Zhao]

Torches do their job, but I realized that I prefer the light of some of light sources which aren't items (like hearthfires etc). At least with my ENB settings they just look better.

The problem is that they do not light up a room when I place them via the console. Only the light sources already in the game work properly. Leaving and reentering the cell or restarting the game doesn't help either.

SSAssist Tools gives you some different colored gems that can be placed wherever you want to illuminate the room.

I use the console and add 5 torches to my inventory more then that and you have to manually move the slider or do a mass drop then repick the ones that don't light up. Go into inventory and manually drop 1 at a time and off and on one of those torches you dropped should light up pick up the ones that do not light and repeat. I have also used this before with ceiling lights and many other lighting sources.

Here is the Chinese author's page, in Chinese:

It adds a bunch of different equitable light sources for screenarchers.  It has both rotating and fixed lights with various strength, from something similar to FaceLight to one that can light up an entire castle.

SSassist Tools that is mentioned above are great for light. It also gives you a couple of rings to control the time and weather, helping you set up lighting outdoors.

I'm trying out Sima these days. It is basically the same as Facelight, but also lights up your immediate surroundings (though I haven't quite made my mind about it yet). SSassist Tools that is mentioned above are great for setting up lights. It also gives you a couple of rings to control the time and weather, helping you set up lighting outdoors.. Combine it with Jaxonz Positioner and you can move those light anywhere you want (instead of just dropping them in front of you). Jaxonz even let's you move existing light sources around.

I tried SSAssist Tools and it seems very nice. I just wish there were more different types of light.

I think SSAssist Tools cannot make a good light than the room with already a good lighting(example : Aether Suite)
it hard to control the lighting and angle every time you want to take SS with SSAssist Tools
I prefer good lighting room more than making lighting tool
but of course if some good technique can be used I also want to use it
