Fixed the misalignment of the XPRI physics references that occurred in the Far Harbor and Nuka World cells after merging the Automatron plugin with the main ESP.
Thanks very much to objir for bringing this to my attention.
Version 2.2
Merged the Automatron plugin into the main mod, as of this version you should remove this plugin from your load order as it is no longer required.
Corrected the performance issue in the Last Plank by removing the shadow cast on the window lights.
Work on improving the performance and lighting in many levels and this work will continue for future updates.
Overall I believed the interiors were too bright so as of this version a reduction of 20% has been introduced via changing all the image spaces brightness setting.
Uploaded 2.2 again to correct the wrong version number in the nexus file name! Archive is the same content.

Version 1.4
THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE
(1) Corrected major issue with meshes and materials - incorrect package for data - meshes and materials are now loose files! This will dramatically improve the look of lighting around the Oil Lamps and High Tech Floor Lamps and remove any lighting bugs associated with these items!
How it was meant to be - sorry for this enormous blunder!
(2) Complete rework of Greenetech Genetics 2 interior to improve performance!

(4) Other small adjustments here and there!
Version 1.2
Fixed performance issue with Trinity Tower, removed some missed identical to master records - thanks to Gulfwulf for pointing them out to me. Fixed a few other minor shadow issues and a missing light!
Version 1.1
Added PEX files into the archive as they do not appear to work in a BA2 file. These files are required for the triggered lights to work correctly.
Bethesda's Fallout 4 engine allows for unlimited shadow cast lights. Unfortunately there is only about a 10 to 40 percent total shadow cast lights in most of the interiors of the game and many areas look quite bland and unrealistic.
What I have done with this mod is lifted this percentage to anywhere from 80 to 100 percent in most interiors of the game including the DLC's bringing you a vastly more realistic lighting experience!
Hundreds upon hundreds of hours of work have gone into carefully hand placing thousands of new shadow cast lights and altering most of the other lighting to match the new look!
Many lighting bugs have also been addressed as well as optimization of the more complex levels with a triggered lighting system and adjustment to fog settings and the overall ambience in most places!
I hope you all enjoy the new lighting experience that this mod will bring to your Fallout 4 interiors!
