Hello I was wondering if FN Creative would ever get an option to use the Chapter 4 Day Night Cycle TODM instead of the Chapter 5 Day Night Cycle?
I thought Chapter 4’s Day/Night cycle looked beautiful and when I found out that Fortnite Creative would eventually receive Nanite & Lumen
I was kind of expecting the lighting to be the Chapter 4 Day Night cycle, and not chapter 5’s.
I know it’s a big request, but it would be nice having it as an option to go to instead since those using Unreal Editor seem to be able to select between the two whereas we can’t.
Thanks for your time.
Hi Kan, Welcome to the Forums.
For context - this is the recent update about the TODM
I think that in the future we’ll see just 1 TODM for both Creative and UEFN. Looking at it from the perspective of maintaining + extending 2 TODMs vs having one (hopefully highly versatile) manager.
It might be interesting to hear about specific pain-points / features (lack of features?) you’re noticing between the two.
Sorry I’m not entirely sure how UEFN works as I don’t actually use it, but if that’s the case then I understand.
Not sure if it’s helpful - but this is what we currently see in UEFN.
It seems weird to me to have different managers for each chapter.

That’s what I was seeing, the Day/Night Cycle option for Chapter 4
I was just wondering why Creative mode didn’t get that along with the chapter 5 todm
It’s definitely a valid feedback / request, and I don’t have a specific answer to that. But simplifying the number of systems available will definitely be able to help Epic developers focus on making 1 system really good instead of juggling/maintaining/extending both systems. (That’s my theory at least)
Probably yeah, I hope that they do add it but even if they don’t that’s fine.
