Lighting Improvements for ATS / ETS2 - is designed to enhance the visual experience of the game by improving its lighting system. Developed by contributors like snowymoon, this mod aims to address the limitations of the default lighting in ETS2, offering players a more dynamic and visually appealing experience. It focuses on refining how light interacts with the environment, including streetlights, headlights, and natural sunlight, without necessarily relying on extensive asset changes.
