📋 About This Mod

Was always annoyed with how the Drive In would fade into view when walking up to it. Can now be seen properly from far away. More immersive because now a gigantic wall of metal won't just appear out of nowhere. This wall and the projector area has no LOD so I fixed that. Not sure if this mod has already been made, I searched and couldn't find it.
