This mod is just a .ini preset that's used with ReShade to improve in game graphics. Default visuals for CMS 2021 I feel is a little bland/dull and not lively enough even with maxed out graphic settings, so I messed around with the ReShade tools based on other games that I use ReShade on and made this preset specifically for CMS 2021.

-Lighting improvement
-Clarity improvement
-Sharper image
Overall, more lively graphics with very minimal to no performance impact.
Running 4080 paired with 7700X
1440p oled monitor, with maxed out in game graphics settings. I do have digital vibrance in the NVIDIA control panel set to 65% for better color overall for desktop and gaming use too.
I would recommend messing around with your monitor settings as a base to make everything you do on your PC look good to you and then in NVIDIA control panel or whatever it is for AMD.... up digital vibrance to 65%-75% to make colors more vibrant to your liking. Everyone's monitor and eyes are different which is why I recommend this.
