my apologies, I mixed the mods. We're talking about Realistic Wasteland Lighting. So I indeed move the esp. at the bottom of my load order, but BEFORE the bashed and merged patches. Freeside and Crimson Caravan are now whiteout-free! Thank you guys!
Thanks! Additional question: when I read the STEP Patches page, I do not see any mention of ICAIO or CRF, neither in the Official ReadMe or Changelogs, and could not find any record in Mod Organizer either, that is why I was confused. I am using the Combined HF plugin, but you confirm the CRF-ICAIO patch is included in all versions of the STEP patch plugins?
In the STEP "detailed instructions", the CRF patch is not selected, why is that? It seems to contradict the notice at the bottom of the page that reads : "Notice: Users not installing the STEP Patches will want to install the options the FOMOD installer automatically selects." the notice seems to indicate that a CRFpatch should be installed if the STEP patch is not used, but the STEP patches do not include any CRF patch themselves. Thanks!
For the Combined STEPS plug-ins, instructions state to remove ALL SMIM esps. But it lists only 5 and exlcudes the SMIM-FarmhouseFlickeringFix.esp should we leave it or remove it from SMIM?
