This mod preserves the vanilla lighting base and applies new changes and fixes, balances to make the regions better.

More Info About Mod:

All files used in the mod are taken from the next gen version of the game. The mod can be played in any way, with or without RT. This mod applies the changes needed by the regions while keeping the vanilla look. If I deem it necessary, I design some things from scratch. I can't give an exact time for the update frequency, but the mod will continue to receive updates.

You can see the detailed comparison of the update contents in the "Images" part.

Requirements?

This mod does not need any mod to work.

More Info About Changes:In addition to cloud changes, it includes some reworked weathers and numerous improvements and fixes. It also aims to improve Vanilla's ray tracing accuracy. Global Lighting Fix also offers changes and improvements in more than 250 areas.

Because there were so many changes with version 2. 0 and before, I'm no longer adding changelog to the main page. You can find the update details in the "changelog" above.
