📋 About This Mod

WORKS WITH v1. 31

Not Compatible with mods that are using .env files (and yes that means NO STLM). Works great with KNGR's Ultimate Lighting Mod and Atmospheric Nights.

ITS BETA VERSION
This mod decreases the amount of additional ("fake") light received by characters, and reduces the shining effect in shadows, or to simply put it: characters shouldn't glow in the dark anymore, which makes them look like they're part of the world. Does not affect lighting in cutscenes ( I think it's not needed, but If you really want it I could try ).

Current version (v. 0. 2) supports: -Novigrad -Skellige -No man's land -Kaer Morhen -Tussaint -Probably all the other areas too. I've also released no DoF verision, which removes DoF in game but leaves it in cutscenes (since my mod is not compatible with jolly2807's "Depth of Field - Cutscenes only" mod).

Installation:
-Unpack the file(s). -Put extracted folder into /mods.

In case you've found a place, where this fix doesn't work - write in comment section (or send PM), also send a pictures if you can.
