[TS2] Improved Shaders
Overview
Heya!
These days I spent lots of time fixing lot skirt shader - and it turned into something more. I was to rewrite many game shaders to get consistent look of terrain and snow, and now, it's ready to be published!
Attempted to fix inconsistent lighting, implemented transparent lot skirt roads - so that they match the rest of lot skirt terrain, more and more!

Improvements
- Consistent lighting - lot skirt, lot terrain and roads now match.
- All lighting states compatible - dusk, dawn, seasonal changes work well.
- Every lighting mod compatible - works even with maxis lighting.
- New snow shaders (lot skirt, lot terrain and roofs) - fixed ugly shading, proper reaction to every lighting state.
- Fixed lot imposters - now their terrain is rendered as well as possible.
- Transparent lot skirt roads - now it's possible to use road textures with transparent cuts so that it matches lot skirt terrain.
- Now reflective pond water doesn't require pools - its reflections work by reflective plane placed in lot corner.
- Neighborhood roads have light snow pass.

Multi-road neighborhoods (I will add it later, sorry!)
Installation
Put the contents into your downloads folder (contains default replacement of maxis roads making them transparent, you may delete these files if you use road default replacements). Remember, my shaders must be loaded last to prevent conflicts!
Snow Lighting
