*Keep in mind this is a WIP until I've got them all, but I can't do that without your help! Let me know of any areas you find with shadow striping and I will fix them immediately! Also if any areas have been overlooked, sometimes there are multiple light sources in one location but I try my best to find them all, let me know immediately, as well as if any areas need to be adjusted more or less due to any issues! Cheers!

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install—no special load order needed.
