      For performance reasons this mod in many instances use triggers to turn shadows off at a distance. It's very difficult to get before and after shots because if you disable this mod the shadow cast light will remain on until you leave the trigger area, after which it will revert to normal. Given that the game has very little in terms of shadow lights in the exterior world, just use your imagination.

    White screen glitch help. Game is fine again after disabled your mods so this is 100% positive. Happens in Cambridge area, just looking randomly anywhere will cause this

      Problem is on your end. I usually try to and, in most cases, fix issues I have with any mods before relating to blaming the mod in question. Most people who mod their games know they have to do this.

    Anyone test this in VR? I wonder what the performance impact is esp vs mods that disable exterior lights to save fps

      Not sure if I could recommend this mod for VR especially if non shadow cast lights cause a problem with performance.

    PRP v74.x have dropped the patch for Ultra Exterior/Interior mods and instead encourage mod authors to create them. Is that something you might consider?

      ...
      - Starting with the next stable build, the compat patches are going to not be shipped with the fomod archive (the ones that patch mods like Ultra Interior Lighting and such, not the big actual patches), documentation needs to be made on how to make them yourself.

      Why would I make patches anymore? This mod covers the entire Fallout 4 world, other modders need to do the patching.

      PRP has a built in compat, so it works with this.

      It's not necessary as this mod does not touch any pre-combines.
