📋 About This Mod
Fixes the shadows and increases the draw distance of haystacks
HDRP by HalkHogan is a truly awesome mod. However, due to the way The Witcher 3 treats certain assets, the improved HDRP haystack meshes did not cast shadows and had shadow "pop-ins" on them as the game kept trying to load the vanilla shadow while you move. So I simply changed the haystack meshes back to the vanilla ones.
Made for NextGen with RedKit.
Update 1. 1: increased the total draw distance of the haystack meshes from 60 m to the crazy 13 km (there might be a hard limit that will make them disappear somewhat faster; you won't see it happening anyway). Besides, the meshes now switch to the next LOD after 2 km instead of the annoying 20 m (apart from the Blood and Wine haystacks, which only have one LOD that is now set to 0-13 km).
