Outdoor Lighting Tweaks v1.5
Chaavik:
So far, the mod is working out just great for me adjusting the way the neighborhood looked during the day and during the night.
There was one thing that bothered me for a long time, and I wondered if this problem is affected by the outdoors lighting at nighttime. The garden plants and trees always seemed so dark against the bright terrain if outdoor light poles are placed by them. The other plants, shrubs and trees looked fine.
Is there a way to adjust the way lighting is used to make garden plants and tress look normal at night?

Orange, The changes doesn't affect rooms that have no lights on, Seems the value for indoor lighting are not found in the ini.

I don't notice this issue if I place lamps next to garden plants or trees. I do see darker plants still appearing dark, which it's suppose to be.
Chaavik:
But that does not make sense if the lights are placed NEXT to the garden plants to brighten up the area where the garden plants and trees are planted. For example, a tall street lamp on the wooden pole is supposed to brighten the area, but the plants and trees were much darker than they should in the light. Is this related to the way EA implemented the natural lighting outside on top of the outdoor lamps?

That is quite useful, I'll most definitely be using this mod. Keep up the good work!

I tried this on another house where there are a lot of trees outside and I can now see the problem. Shadows that are from the moonlight overlaps the lighting from the lamps which will cause it to appear darker than it should. Its definitely the way they implemented the lighting system, and it appears change it.
EDIT: it appears to be unchangeable.
