So this is something that has been bothering me for a while!
Before I made
THIS mod, I attempted to make the fences light up. When changing their shaders they create issues (the most common is that when drawing with the fence tool the fence just glitches out and spreads out all over the place)
Now let's say that switching their shaders DID work, the fences would indeed light up when placed outside BUT they would look broken as smooth lighting isn't enabled in outdoor spaces. It's the same thing as placing counters outside, even though indoors the light flows smoothly outside it doesn't.
My only conclusion is that the only way to POSSIBLY fix these issues is to crack the shaders of the game. If that happens there is a possibility to edit how light travels outside, or even better edit the "Fence" and "Stair" shader itself to enable illumination outdoors. For plants I'm not so sure as they are quite tricky.
