Details:
I made this mod for personal use but figured I might as well share it!Should be pretty obvious what it does. If you use IGCS, you know why this mod exists (unless I completely missed an option in game and therefore wasted hours of my life). Coincidentally, it also fixes the bugged foliage shadows!
Installation:
Use Vortex (recommended) or manually install by just dragging and dropping the contents of the zip to the Cyberpunk 2077 root folder.
