You have to darken all the textures using PS.

Using HMT, open the BG map, scroll down to the SKY tag. Open it. In the
box on the right lower the RGB values.

If you can't find it, let me know. I'll fire my copy up and give you the
exact settings.

Heres' a brief tutorial. I dont have access to mine at the moment, so I
cant give you the settings I have on my night time Sidewinder.

Basically I removed the sun. Dropped the RGB settings on the sky tag,
put the start number to 0, put up the max thickness and shorten the max
distance by lowering the number.

I'll post you a pic and the settings when I get back home.

I have searched and searched... I am having so much trouble with the sun and burial grounds. I've removed the sun, etc.. I don't want it pitch black, I want it just dusky, i'm putting sand and in the tunnels where theres no light it looks perfect. I have ADI, CH2R, DOTHALO. All the plugins that I know off. When I use the SKY plugin it either makes it to dark or messes up the textures on my building. Theres lots of refelection even with the sun removed. How do I take out the glare? Is the only way to darken the whole map? If so i'll keep playing around, but can you tell me your results with the light modiffier. I don't want it pitch black at all. but just no sunlight shining on anything... PLEEEZ help! AHHHH.. modded burials is coming out great, but this is what's holding up it's release :(

download the dss program and extract the texture and open it in photo shop and edit it so its black and inject it.
