📋 About This Mod

FALLOUT NEW VEGAS VERSION
TALE OF TWO WASTELANDS VERSION
FEATURES
-
[]Completely scriptless, no performance impact[/]
[]Balanced eye adaptation, no more quick changes of brightness after a slight camera rotation, now brightness will change only if you look at dark areas occupying the most of screen space or high contrast textures[/]
[]Balanced bloom effects, pretty close to vanilla bloom from New Vegas, I tried to make lesser amount of pure white surfaces[/]
[]Upscaled vanilla textures of sky (2K) and sun (1K)[/]
[]Reduced size of sun halo, it fixes vanilla bug with changing the brightness of the sky at certain angles[/]
[]Removed tints (optional)[/]
[]Slightly increased saturation by 12,5%[/]
[]Fixes of fog brightness in some weathers[/]
[]Reduced distance of fog effects with balanced values. You can still enjoy landscapes, but with depth added by fog[/]
[]Fixes of vanilla incorrect values - slightly lesser values of sunlight in various types of weather to make it more balanced without eye-burning white areas on ground[/]
[]Contains fixes from Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch (not required)[/]
[]Broken Steel, Operation: Anchorage, Point Lookout, The Pitt, Mothership Zeta DLCs are required[/]
