📋 About This Mod
This is a fan made modification made with unofficial tools. Use this at your own risk, and back up all save files and mods before using.
What this mod does
In vanilla fallout 4 fog usually starts a few feet in front of the player. In some weathers and interior cells, this makes a noticeable line of fog that moves with the player. This was done in order to not wash out the image directly in front of the player.
This mod sets the distance that near fog starts to zero. The only downside is that the image can become washed out. Personally, I think the game needed a little bit of washing out if you had godrays disabled.
¡Load Order and Compatibility!
If you use Calamity Weathers use this mod INSTEAD. My exterior plugin is not required. Thank you DaBlake for making the patch.
The exterior plugin edits all weathers. Because of this, it has some major compatibility issues with some big mods that many people use, such as Vivid Weathers and True Storms.
The interior plugin edits all cells, which makes it incompatible with other interior lighting mods.
The exterior plugin only edits a few values on each weather and can easily be made by using Automation Tools
The interior file is slightly more complex, but it's still not hard to make if you are familiar with FO4edit

It's a simple, performance-friendly tweak for players who want a more immersive and visually interesting environment without overhauling the game's weather systems.
