📋 About This Mod
What it does:
it ads a script-event to fire the reload script every time you move from one cell to another.
this solves a bug with the light not showing up when you exit or enter a new cell in 3rd person.
Why:
I made this edit for myself when i learned to script a bit and how to compile them, after many requests i decided to share this fix on the Nexus.
Installation:
Mod manager:
- Simply use your prefered mod manager. Make sure you load this after the original mod.
Manual install:
- Drag and drop + overwrite the files in the zip file to your fallout 4 data folder (drive)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data
Known Issues:
Well, more like a limitation. this fix does not apply when you are inside elevators.
These are basically live loading screens and do not count as a cell switch while inside.
Effect still gets applied when exiting the elevator with a slight delay.
