📋 About This Mod
Mod is now obsolete,new version here
I just couldn't wait for the authors of the original mod to update it for nextgen if at all, so i redid the mod with some nice results. The final version is 1. 4 It's IMHO as close as perfect as i can get it for my taste. Your results may vary depending on monitor/TV type , calibration and settings.
What it does: Replaces the lighting ingame for Velen,Novigrad,Toussaint and Kaer Morhen with the
lighting from White Orchard. It also makes the nights more Atmospheric by Darkening
How to install: Unpack the mod0WOLighting folder in the mods directory .
Changelog-1. 5 Added a Brighter Nights version for RTX users
