ScatterSky have a NightCubemap but where is the DayCubemap ? Looks like Day/Night + nice looking sky is not possible out of the box, or I simple don't get how to make it.

Shortly:
With scattersky you setup the sky, sun and moon. You can control how blue-ish your sky will be, the size, color and place of the sun, and how the sky at night will be, witah or without a moon and/or nightcubemap.
With the advanced clouds you then add different (animated) cloud-layers.
And the icing to this cake is the TimeOfDay object, where you be able to animate the sun, so you get a simulation of day-night cycle.
edit:
If you don't need an animated day-night cycle then just use the sun and the skybox objects.

Scattersky is supposed to work in combination with advanced Clouds and the TimeOfDay object to build your sky. You can find some info about it at the TDN docs.Shortly:

Only ever use the NightCube map to add some stars to the sky but you don't have stars during the day time.
