[US 4.06] Guards flee from wolves and you can't see the road in front of you after 6pm.

I played Ultimate Skyrim 4.0 with at least one character up to level 17. I'm now playing Ultimate Skyrim 4.06 and want to check if this all sounds about right.

​

It's so dark when it rains you can't see the road in front of you without a torch. You can see bright white splashes of water on everything. It's so dark inside interiors you can't see someone's face unless they're looking into a fire 5 feet away. This is intended to prompt the player to use a torch or wearable lantern. Wolves enter Roriskstead to kill chickens, which the population and guards respond to by fleeing. You fight the wolves, but if a guard happens by while you're gasping for air between encounters, they accuse you of being near dead bodies with your weapon drawn. You never leave combat thereafter, so can't chop firewood while you wait for the sky to unblacken. You're an Orc, so you can't cast candlelight even while naked. If you try to leave town in the dark using Instincts to navigate from one clump of flowers to the next, you get two-shot by wolves, bears, or sabre cats. Stay in Rorikstead and one day you'll exit the inn to a level 25 "Hired Thug" who wants you to die. Repeatedly hitting enter to turn, for instance, useless deadwood branches into kindling, will cause a crash to desktop.

I can't ask for support on Discord because I'm stuck in the [claim account loop](https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/7jp1bj/i_cant_access_my_web_or_desktop_account_after/).

I think the AI behavior is wrong and cannot find any instructions to lighten the environment so it is navigable between the hours of 6pm-9am. I've found lots of threads trying to lighten the environment, but those include suggestions for ENB settings and new mods that don't work for 4.06. Why is there a hired thug killing me?
