🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod tweaks shadow settings, make sure to place it low in your load order to override other mods' shadow values.
If you use an ENB, you may need to adjust ENB shadow settings separately, as ENBs often control shadows independently.
Test in interior and exterior cells to see the improvements; if shadows still pop, try increasing the shadow distance in your SkyrimPrefs.ini.
