Softer Shadows

Description
One problem of the game is that the shadows on 3D objects are too dark. Of your you can use a LUT to make the shadows brighter, but that will also remove the contrast of all textures.

This mod simply brightens the shadows of 3D objects, independent from the applied LUT.

Other Recommended Mods:
Daylight Classic

of all the cool things you can adjust in this game, making shadows not a void of darkness never seems to be a thing you can do...

It doesn't work for me

I don't think I lost resolution. This mod was making my colors shift while I moved the camera. I;m still having an issue with flickering lines on the ground, if anyone knows what might be causing that.

It also does not work with with daylight classic. But it kind of works without DC, but just with the vanilla LUT.

@boformer Well that was my issue, I didn't have classic sun color enabled. My bad!

make sure to also install Daylight Classic and enable classic sun intensity/color/position.
This mod is just an addition to make the shadows a little bit brighter.
