      Did you ever notice that there is a light source that follows Geralt around, removing any darkness around him and making the light feel very artificial? This mod adds a toggle to the options menu that removes that light in the menu settings, with a mere flick of a switch! It is compatible with ANY lighting mod and was made for the Next-Gen Update for the game.
      There is also an option that disables the default camera lights for cutscenes, but I will leave you to decide if its worth removing or not, as it can make some cutscenes way too dark.
      This mod is an evolution of my previous No Artificial Player Light mod, but done in a different way. If you are not on the Next-Gen update, or want some of the finer options that mod allows for, use that mod.
