So basically, I'm trying to do a simple recolor of a pair of sunglasses in the game to give the lenses a nice lightly tinted (so I can still see my character's eyes) red color, and I've managed to do so except for one problem. Whenever I'm outside in the daylight, and my character is facing the sun, and the light actually hits the glasses, the transparency of the lenses are perfect to me. But it's when I'm inside or in a shaded area, or even facing away from the sun, that the lenses become almost completely opaque. What can I do to the sunglasses' lenses to make sure they have a consistent transparency in different light settings? Would this be something in the material file, or the Nif file, or something else?

So, I'm very new to the Creation Kit, and I just wanted to ask how to do one little thing. Basically, I really want to wear one of the hats in the game for role playing, but I hate the dark shadow that's cast by the hat that pretty much covers half my character's face when I'm out in the sunlight. Would there be any way to make it so that this one specific hat doesn't cast any shadows? Like, how would I go about doing that?
