So I noticed a few weeks back that my wall hangings no longer go dark when shifting down. I use spookymuffin lighting edit, and have for many years, and they used to go dark when shifting down in a second level or foundation.

But when Legacy came out there was some random talk about it with fixing this 'n that, so I replaced my original graphicsRules.sgr with it. No idea what the chatter was about with, but probably related to pink flashing.

Anyone else use that version of graphicsRules.sgr and have actually checked and tested if their wall hangings no longer do dark when shifted down?

Here is mine if anyone wants to test. I do have another backup of one that says it's from the patch, and it has even more things removed.

I have also noticed that my pictures don't seem to do this much anymore, but I had assumed it was a mod. (No idea which one--I'm assuming Lamare's Shiftable Everything, but the notes on that page don't mention it...)

And yeah, I did replace my Graphics Rules with my Legacy Edition one (and yes, because of the pink flashing), but I think I've made some further edits to it since I did that, so not sure if that's what would cause it.

I recently deleted all my cc, shift everything included, so I don't think it's that? But I'll have to retest as I'm unsure which came first, the purge or the discovery. xD

I thought I switched to graphicsRules from Legacy when people started saying it works well for UC, but mine looks different, maybe I haven't got around to it after all. Just tested with your file, and things still go dark being lowered (as long as it's dark on the floor below). I put the file in Config both in SP9 folder and in base game folder, in case it matters.

Shiftable everything does the shifting, but it doesn't do anything about the lighting. And I have it. I would bet on lighting mods maybe

I tested when this was mentioned in Discord. No lighting mods and I have the UC graphics rule file.

On the ground floor it only darkens if I move it too high, low is fine. On the second floor, high is fine, but too low and it will darken.

That looks like a good thing, no? Why would you want objects submerged below the floor to not catch light from lamps?

I think HL is trying to figure out the difference of why it happens
