About this mod
This mod preserves the vanilla lighting base and applies new changes and fixes, balances to make the regions better.

- Changelogs
All files used in the mod are taken from the next gen version of the game. The mod can be played in any way, with or without RT. This mod applies the changes needed by the regions while keeping the vanilla look. The reason I changed the Swamp and Fyke look a lot is because the color combinations used there in the vanilla version are pretty ugly and bad. I can't give an exact time for the update frequency, but the mod will continue to receive updates.
You can see the detailed comparison of the update contents in the "Images" part.
