📋 About This Mod
Installation
1) Install reshade
2) Choose .ini and extract to Cyberpunk2077/bin/x64/
Intended to be used with
1) GITS 3. X by Bababooey88
(install 00 Fuji ENV)
2) Nova City (Custom Weather - Beta) by theCyanideX
(OR Preem Weather + Weather Switcher)
3) LUT Switcher 2 by theCyanideX
LUT Switcher - Preem LUT Pack
LUT Switcher - GITS LUT Pack
LUT Switcher - Edge LUT Pack
I use Preem LUT 2, but also works well with GITS Kuria LUT (slightly brighter and less saturated)
* New version for EDGE LUT
4) In-game settings > Video > Gamma 0. 83
5) Ray tracing, preferably PTNext from Ultra+ by sammilucia (either way install this since it boosts performance)

I tried many realism style presets and they never quite ended up looking like the videos. I would always come back to The City Lightz (by DIRECREEP). So I decided to tweak/ expand upon that. My issue with most realism presets is they only look good in overcast weather and sunny always ends up being way too blown out.
6-10fps penalty. DoF toggle with down arrow key, Fisheye toggle with left arrow
Changelog
- same as 0. 3. 0 but with stronger DoF and added foreground blur. For a more enhanced bodycam effect
- improved sharpening, tweaks to DoF, bloom, saturation, clarity
- EDGE version tweaked further
- added alternate version for use with EDGE LUT (brighter highlights and neon signs)
- adjusted DoF (less blur on near objects like weapon or vehicle, increase focus speed, adjust focus length to 55mm and Fnumber to 6. 0)
- removed some green tint from LCD version
- noticed screenshots on my other monitor look pretty washed out (main monitor is OLED). Increased saturation version for LCD users added
- Initial release
