📋 About This Mod
This is a small and simple mod that will fix those annoying and disgusting shadows in houses and other areas. Basically the main cause of these radial shadow defects is a low shadow depth bias, which ironically, states in the Creation Kit Wiki that a low (or to quote \"A poor Shadow Depth Bias\") can cause these defects. Please note that this mod may cause an FPS drop on certain machines, and this mod should be compatible with most if not all mods which may exclude ones that change the lighting conditions in the affected areas. By request, this has been uploaded because some steam users cannot download due to regional problems. Please also remember to notify me if you find any more shadow problems, and I will try to fix it as quickly as possible :D Original Steam Mod Page Spanish Version: Here Translated by Frodo45127
