There are 2 intensity versions of this mod:
- soft: based on the lot day lighting used in an unmodded game: a subtle yellow tint, lighter shadows,
- strong: based on the neighborhood day lighting of objects used in an unmodded game: no yellow tint, deeper shadows.
- regular: adjusted to the neighborhood day lighting direction used in an unmodded game,
- lighting remedy: adjusted to Criquette's Neighborhood Lighting Remedy and other mods that have it incorporated, such as Dreadpirate's Radiance Lighting System 2.5.1 or newer or Maxis Match Lighting Mod.
7 Nov 2022: Fixed the light direction in the lighting remedy versions. It was the exact opposite of what it was supposed to. Please redownload.
Conflicts
This mod can be used with lighting mods (such as Gunmod's Radiance Light System 2.4 or RLS 2.5 by Dreadpirate) that don't change the neighborhood terrain day lightmap texture. I haven't seen a mod that changes it though.

If you use Criquette's Neighborhood Lighting Remedy or any other mod that has it incorporated (like Dreadpirate's Radiance Lighting System 2.5.1 or newer or Maxis Match Lighting Mod) use one of the lighting remedy versions.
