📋 About This Mod
DEPRECATED!
Mod will not be updated.
After 1. 0. 3 patch the devs added the option to remove extra rocks and details from the ground in a new settings in the graphics menu, this will automatically resolves much of the pop-in issue, and the other lod issues still are present and is a pain in everyone's back.
Thanks for the continued support of this mod.
IMPORTANT, READ THIS:
User BurningSky helped fix the issues this mod had. Big thank you to him!
CHANGELOG & ABOUT:
Based on v. 1. 0 (stable version) (sorry i broke v. 2. 0)
Improves LOD pop-ins for vegetation, grass and rocks by a certain amount "0. 5" -> 1. 0" (any higher causes issues)
(No, not buildings or objects)
Optional version of mod includes extra shadows casting for all ground meshes and decal. (flowers, rocks, sticks, different grass types etc, May cost performance and may crash the game depending on your PC)
Adds 1881 mesh's into the "ignoreImposterList.xml".
Meaning objects added to this list keeps their high quality poly form from further away. (Thus eliminating poly change when distance is changed, cleaning up jarring rocks changing shape.
There are improvements but pop-ins are NOT eliminated fully.
So keep this in mind before you slay me in the comment section.
Shadows drawing line are still a issue and is still present even with this mod.
Overall, you should have a nice bump in quality and less pop-in, but the problem is not fixed.
Damn you pearl abyss!
I will upload more screenshots later.
Here are gifs showcasing the poly form from close to distance:

Rocks:
Extra Shadows for all vegetation:
