Description
With Gathering Storm Firaxis updating the angle of the sunlight and adjusted various other lighting settings. This simple mod reverts the lighting back to how it was pre-Gathering Storm with the exception of keeping the cloud shadows. Nothing else is changed apart from the game lighting.

Why did I make this mod?

I just preferred the sun angle from R&F rather than GS. I find too much of the art is in shadow with the GS lighting and like to see things more lit up and colourful. They obviously wanted to create a slightly darker more brooding feel to go with GS. So it's a matter of taste. I think if you set the time to midday you should see the difference.

The time of day in the screenshots above is 3pm.

I love this mod.
However, while also using the Civ5 Environment style mod, night time looks extremely weird (the sun is directly exactly behind the camera, so everything is flat and maximally lit up).
Is there any chance u could lower the sun angle during night?
Or what values do i have to edit to do that?

To add to below my comment, it is almost like night doesn't happen when you go to Power Lens, which I think it is suppose to. I do notice the buildings have their lights on, but the world seems very lit.

The new Power Lens that was added in the June update gets washed out a lot when using this mod. I am also using your mod with Environment Skin: Sid Meier's Civilization V mod.

Is there going to be any issue running Era: No Change Brightness with this mod:

This is fantastic... I don't know whats going on with Gathering Storm one second part of the map is bright next second is dull and just looks a complete mess. Thanks.

This + the Civ5 environment skin mod = BEAUTIFUL

Although there is another mod for this (it just fails to control anything beyond normal status).. would you consider "fixing" the Ages-switching color-keys system that heavily (far too much, for me) enhance lighting as well when entering "Heroic"?

Dark + Normal + Golden + Heroic ... also affect the Header line with sharper colors. This is out of our grasp too while i feel we should be able to "pick" such hue(s) from pre-defined custom palette similarily to what the Jersey system permits.

Anyway.. think it over please.
