📋 About This Mod

No upscales, so shouldn't really have any effect on performance

Screenshots taken at 1440p with no FSR/DRS (on a 1080p display using AMD's Virtual Super Resolution to downsample from 1440p)... Note that Noens in the 2 screenshots labeled "With my Mod Pack" are dimmed compared to vanilla or the other modded shots... This is due to me using the "Thick Black" version of my Full-Screen Vignette mod... If you don't like this, use a lighter version of that mod (or don't use it at all)...

Works great alongside all of my other retextures and visual enhancements, or alongside my Manually Enhanced NC Mod Pack, which includes most of my visual and performance mods along with my Psycho Crowds Improvements ini tweaks...
