📋 About This Mod

Brighter, clearer lighting and weather. Re-release of my old (deprecated) "Night City Lights - White Sun Edition" mod, with some new adjustments (now includes edits to the 3 "extreme" vanilla weather states, and more adjustments to most

Notice: This is an "env" weather mod and is therefore not compatible with other "env" lighting/weather mods (mods that edit the "CP2077_master_env_ep1_v006.env" game file), such as Nova City 2 by u/TheCyanideX

Night City Lights – White Sun Edition

A weather overhaul for brighter skies, cleaner visuals, and smoother transitions—no vignette, no haze, just clarity.

📷 Visual Context & Compatibility

  • []Screenshots taken at 1080p, High settings, using FSR 2. 1 at native resolution. FSR settings may vary across images—usually set to “Quality.”

    []Not tested with RT/PT (Ray Tracing / Path Tracing), but expected to work fine.

    []Fully compatible with LUT mods. Recommended pairing: EDGE LUT 3 by u/TheCyanideX

    []This does not require "Night City Visuals Nulled" by u/NeHooYey, but it should be fine if you have it installed (that mod is only required for env mods that drastically change lighting/weather params, which this mod does not really do).

    🔧 What This Mod Does

    • []Lighting & Weather Overhaul – Adjusts auto-exposure, removes vignette, and brightens the entire game world.

      []Pure White Sunlight – Sun color changed to white during daylight hours across all weather conditions.

      []Vanilla Weather State Adjustments – Modified: Sunny, Light Clouds, Cloudy, Heavy Clouds, Fog, Rain, Toxic Rain, Pollution, and Sandstorm.

      []No new weather types added.

    []“Extreme” States Calmed – Toxic Rain, Pollution, and Sandstorm are toned down for visual consistency.

    • []Sandstorm becomes a rare fog-like variant.

    []Weather Duration Tweaks – States now cycle every ~4–6 in-game hours.

    • []Vanilla Sunny could last up to 15 hours! Not anymore.

      🐛 Known Issues (v1. 1)

      • []Sunlight may be slightly overexposed at sunrise/sunset in “extreme” states.

        []Adjusted in v1. 1, but might still need fine-tuning.

      []Auto-exposure may behave oddly in certain “extreme” states depending on time of day.

      []Feedback welcome: report anything unusually bright/dark or odd weather transitions at normal time scale.

      • If it’s all too much—maybe this mod’s not for you. That’s okay too.
