📋 About This Mod
This mod is based on xxcly's excellent mod which I have tweaked a little to suit my preference. I wanted a similar flashlight without the shadow casting as that disabled Aiden's shadow, and there was also a problem where having Aiden's back close to an object with the flashlight on would create some weird shadows as if the source of the light was coming from behind Aiden. If you prefer a shadow casting flashlight even with these issues then I suggest using the mod I mentioned above.
Install by dropping the data3.pak file in your installdir/ph/source folder. If you already have a data3.pak file you can change the number up to 7.
Replace common_prefabs_pc.rpack in your installdir\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets folder. Make a backup of the original first.
Replace city_persistent_pc.rpack in your installdir\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets\city folder. Make a backup of the original again.
And you're done. No need to use any editors to replace textures.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or manual drop-in — the description doesn't say, so look for a readme or check the file structure.
- If you're on a version with anti-cheat (like EAC), make sure to disable it or use a mod loader that's compatible.
- Test in a dark area to see if the yellow tint and smaller cone suit your taste — you can always revert if it's not for you.
