✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Keeps the visual benefit of raytraced AO while removing the performance hit of raytraced shadows
- 8k shadows give crisp, high-detail shadows that look great in screenshots
- Lightweight mod with 112 endorsements and 5,260 downloads — community tested
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated January 2024 — may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update
- Only affects shadow and AO settings — if you want other visual tweaks, this won't help
For Fallout 4 players who want raytraced ambient occlusion but find raytraced shadows too demanding. Also for screenshot enthusiasts who want ultra-sharp 8k shadows. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or prefer a full visual overhaul mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have raytracing enabled in your Fallout 4 settings, otherwise this mod won't do anything.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, you can install this as a regular mod — just drop the files into the mod folder.
- Check your GPU's VRAM — 8k shadows can be heavy, so monitor performance in dense areas like downtown Boston.
