📋 About This Mod
This mod simply removes the pesky super bright fake lighting that is added to various dialogues, cutscenes and cinematics and leaves them only with the surrounding natural light.
I have noticed that the custom light added in cinematics is quite bright, especially with a pale skin mod, and wanted it to change it. Or in some cutscenes, in one shot it is there, and in the next, it's not there and scene is dimly lit. just immersion breaking imo.
Ideally I would like to add a variant that just reduces fake lights or to make it more warm in temperature, but I don't know how to do that :D
Also, I haven't been able to test in the later stages of the game, since I just started playing, but so far looking good!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 799 endorsements and 30k+ downloads—clearly a fix many players wanted.
- Does exactly what it says: removes that artificial glow so cutscenes look natural.
- Lightweight and straightforward—no complex settings or dependencies to fiddle with.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in February 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects cinematics and dialogues; if you wanted broader lighting changes, this isn't it.
For players who find the fake lighting in cutscenes distracting or immersion-breaking and want a cleaner, more natural look. Skip if you're fine with the default cinematic lighting or want more comprehensive visual overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation—if manual, just drop the files into the game's data folder.
- Since it's a visual tweak, test it in a cutscene early to see if it works with your current game version.
- If you're using other visual mods, make sure they don't conflict by loading this one last.
