Strange shadows undreground

Hello, as mentioned in the title I'm experiencing a glitch relating shadows. I attached an image and highlighted with red rectangles the issue. While not as visible in a picture, it is very distracting when moving.
I'm using game version 1.0 US with latest CLEO and modloader.
Mods (all latest version): Silent Patch, MixSets, widescreenfix.
Thank you!

Original game bug caused by some little mistakes on .col files (the shadow mesh inside .col).
I hate the shadows system of this game...

I see. Is there anything I can do to fix it or at least make it less annoying?

Only manual fixes on shadow mesh, but an easier way is to find which object the shadow is from, opening the .col file, and simply delete the shadow mesh to simply delete the shadow, so the object will not cast shadow anymore.
There is a lot of these bugs on the map, and also a lot of shadows flicking on top of models...
Mods that totally change the shadows system, as RenderHook and some new ENB Series with per pixel shadows, will fix it completely using the same shadows system as modern games uses, but they are too expensive for performance or cause conflict with other mods.

Well, if that's the case, I'm always open to learning, but I don't really know where to start. How would you advise to find the mentioned object source and delete the shadow?

Edit: experimenting with the shadow settings extender mod I disabled building shadows in the ini and the bug was gone, although the game looks quite bad now

, dont know if this helps, but i'll probably use this only if I can't do anything else about it
