I like the idea of softening the shadows on a model, without over shading them and other such things, but this looks like a pretty complex effect, wouldn't it be easier to just use Serious Shader?

I have an effect in my folders called full_SimpleSoftShadow. I'm not entirely sure where I got it from, but it may be the quick and simple solution you're looking for.

full_SimpleSoftShadow was written by BeamMan, and is also an excellent MME to use to soften self-shadows.

Aha, that's right, I got it from BeamMan's website. Thank you for reminding me.

Serious Shader is very good.
If you look at the 3 panel sequence in the skydome tutorial MMD Tutorial - Skydomes Tips and Tricks of Chibi IA standing in front of the station under 3 sets of lighting conditions, all I used was Serious Shader only. And it worked fine, even in the dim lighting panel.
LocalShadow is more complex, actually much more, but it is worth the extra mile. If you look at the same model (IA XS) in the sequences used in this series of images PMD Tutorial Adding Physics to Accessories it should give you some idea on what it can do when IA is fully animated and herein lies this effects true potentials.
