🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using the next-gen update, test this mod early — old mods can conflict with new lighting changes.
Use a mod manager like Vortex to easily enable/disable this mod if you run other weather or sky mods.
This mod only affects Skellige, so don't expect changes in Velen or Novigrad — that's normal.
