Dynamic Interior Fog Removal

Dynamic Interior Fog Removal

This mod will modify the distance fog in interior cells dynamically, either making it disappear or toning it down to look more subtle. The big difference between this mod and other mods that remove fog is that the process is done dynamically as the player enters each interior cell. There is no longer a need to directly edit the cell records, which doing so would cause plenty of incompatibility issues with new DLCs, updates and other interior cell editing mods.

Old fog removing mods would cause plenty of incompatibility issues (e.g., disappearing meshes) when conflicting with other mods or just by being outdated, and they were a hassle to keep up-to-date because of having to manually maintain many 100s of cell records which would constantly change due to Bethesda updates/DLCs. A lot of the popular fog removing mods are now outdated/abandoned for this reason, but those problems are now in the past with DIFR having come out! An automatic script now takes care of all the hard work without causing any conflict whatsoever by making dynamic runtime changes as opposed to manual edits. Note: This mod doesn't affect hand placed particle-based fog/dust/smoke effects, just the unrealistic background fog planes are affected.

The images section provides comparison screenshots of the different settings that the mod provides, but some of the screenshots contain red colored fog to make it easier to compare (comparison purposes only). Also keep in mind that most screenshots are compressed and don't compare to actually being in the game.

Requirements & Info Before Installing:

- Main Files: No requirements whatsoever, this mod is a strong independent mod.

- FogOut Exteriors Add-on: The "optional" add-on is to be used as a replacement to the old FogOut, and if you use Darker Nights then the patch included on that mod page still works. The modified FogOut add-on only gets rid of the "exterior" weather fog on clear days and nights. It no longer modifies interior cell fog, as that is now Dynamic Interior Fog Removal's job. Note: Do "NOT" use this add-on with weather overhaul mods such as Vivid Weathers, only use this with vanilla weathers like it was intended in order to avoid conflicts. You can always use FO4Edit to compare and see if something is conflicting, although I would recommend that you use a nice weather overhaul mod over FogOut, such as Vivid Weathers found here.

Usage:

This mod adds a settings holotape to the player's inventory under the misc. tab.

The holotape has three interior fog visibility settings
