📋 About This Mod

Simple tweak which removes shadows from some NPC vampires in the game. Made by request from reddit.

Works on most NPC vampires, but not for all lesser vampires - a lot of vampire creatures in the game have forced shadows and I have not found the way to disable it.

Installation:

  • []Unpack archive into your "The Witcher 3\Mods" folder.

    []Check and fix possible conflicts with Script Merger (if you have more than one mod).
