💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM is still recommended for easy uninstallation.
- If you're using other lighting or shadow mods, test this one in a settlement with spotlights to ensure there are no conflicts.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user reports on compatibility with the latest game version, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2016.
