Description
Some vanilla plants have always been too bright under shadows during daytime. With the must have EVLaS mod this is even more noticeable. This makes those plants way more visible.
Thus I made some fixes for myself and I just thought why not publishing it on the Nexus as some other people might also be bothered by the insane brightness of some flowers/clutters under certain conditions.
I also fixed all the meshes for ice (lighting issues are mostly noticeable on icicles), trees (mostly noticeable on aspens), creatures (mostly noticeable on wolves and sabrecats), potions and some other specific clutter objects.
