📋 About This Mod

Bethesda's Fallout 4 engine allows for unlimited shadow cast lights. Unfortunately there is only about a 10 to 40 percent total shadow cast lights in most of the interiors of the game and many areas look quite bland and unrealistic.

What I have done with this mod is lifted this percentage to anywhere from 80 to 100 percent in most interiors of the game including the DLC's bringing you a vastly more realistic lighting experience!

Hundreds upon hundreds of hours of work have gone into carefully hand placing thousands of new shadow cast lights and altering most of the other lighting to match the new look!

Many lighting bugs have also been addressed as well as optimization of the more complex levels with a triggered lighting system and adjustment to fog settings and the overall ambience in most places!

I hope you all enjoy the new lighting experience that this mod will bring to your Fallout 4 interiors!
