📋 About This Mod
Lighting mod based on my preference to character lighting.
Description
Inspired with the mod Character Lighting Fix by Wzol. I wanted to make something for myself for nextgen. I don't know how Wzol made his mod but I wanted to make something similar in my own way for nextgen. Hope you all like it. I'm very noobish when it comes to lighting mods. "Constructive" feedback is welcome. If something doesn't look right, try to post a picture and let me know which quest/region the issue is from. Thanks and enjoy!
Main features
- []Edits to character lighting. how reflections/shadow/light interact with characters. Affects armor/skin/hair for all characters.[/]
Highly Recommended Mod to use

[]Novigrad Sewers Lighting Improved by ScoutBr0 (give ScoutBr0's mod higher priority)[/]
[]Darker Nights Next-Gen - Enhanced by shaedhen[/]
[]New Clouds and New Toussaint Clouds by Hyadum[/]
[]Quest Cutscene Lighting Edits by yours truly[/]
[]VGX Burning Village Cutscene by Hyadum[/]
[]Global Lighting Fix by my friend BoneDoctor (I think this is for non-RT users such as myself)[/]
[]Geralt Hair and Beard NonHW Redone by yours truly - my hair mod is another reason I wanted to make this because my hair and beard mod look way better with it =)[/]
Do Not Use
- []No Artificial Player Light Mod because that mod will overpower my changes. It completely removes lighting where my mod aims to enhance it.[/]

[]The way I made this mod other lighting mods can be edited/patched. (with testing required to ensure its compatible)[/]
[]Don't ask me to make patches for other lighting mods, ask those authors. They can simply message me and I can make the necessary changes.[/]
[]Those who like to make Reshades should find this a nice canvas of sorts.[/]
Changelogs
Version 1. 1
[]I removed edits to player/gameplay light that follow Geralt. I feel changes with the other values were sufficient and dampening the player/gameplay light that follow Geralt took away some life.[/]
[*]I renamed the mod so that it will load at the bottom, making any patches for other
