📋 About This Mod
!!!!!! READ THE BLOODY DESCRIPTION !!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW ENGLISH WELL. SORRY FOR THAT.
There are smarter people than me out there in the Nexus universe. If they think I've done something wrong, please tell me what it is and how to correct it.
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor
RTX 3070 8GB
32GB DDR4 RAM
27-inch 2560x1440 monitor
I have the NG version of the game
I play FO4 at a resolution of 2560x1440 on ULTRA.
ZPs Frost Shock Plasma Laser 4K is out, and thus the completion of these effects.
ZPs Fire and Smoke 2:
Similar to ZP's Fire and Smoke, but the textures are larger (the details are better) and made with a different method. Texture sizes vary, for example, 8192x4096, 4096x4096, 1024x8192, 4096x2048, 2048x2048, 512x4096, but also smaller, so if you have a weaker computer, try ZP's Fire and Smoke. If you are crazy enough to download this, please proceed.
Performance - check out my computer specs. I have no problems with this, stress-tested the hell out of it.
Pictures were taken with vanilla lighting. There are also vanilla vs mod pictures for comparison.
November 2, 2025 UPDATE - I didn't like some things, so I changed them. I suggest installing this update, some explosions (vertibitd, for example) will be better. Bethesda handled some things strangely, regarding visual effects.
November 8, 2025 UPDATE - first release + update together. LOOT had some problems with the update files, so I'll keep that in mind from now on.
- Once again, a warning - this is not for weak computers. The old mod is 2K, and when I tested it with a GTX 1060 6GB, there were times when the game crashed at extremes.
- Another thing - if someone has little (or no) smoke, maybe the value in PARTICLES SETTINGS is low. Mine is 2000.
- The mod only contains textures, it will not directly cause crashes or anything negative that has to do with the game mechanics.
If you see any anomaly, please report it. I'll fix it ASAP.
You've done it again, thank you!
Compatibility:
Use common sense, incompatible with textures that do the same thing. The mod also reworks textures from Automatron, Far Harbor, and Nuka World, but the plugin does not have these masters registered in it, so you can use it without the specified DLCs.
Installation:
Install with your favorite
