Insomnia from Episode Ardyn in the Main Game

INSOMNIA FROM EPISODE ARDYN IN THE MAIN GAME

INSTALLATION:

• []Copy the downloaded files and overwrite the originals in their respective folders in the FINAL FANTASY XV game directory.

  []BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE USING THIS MOD. I also included my originals as 'orig' files in each folder just in case.

  []Before you replace your original files, make a save file with the bros somewhere in the city on ground level since the EPA map doesn't include the underground resting spots. If the bros aren't on ground level when you load the modded EPA Insomnia, they'll fall through the map into the void below.

  []Made with the Steam version. Use at your own risk. The sky replacements all also affect the rest of Lucis since Insomnia and Lucis share the same sky.

  ABOUT THE MOD:

  • []You should have the EPA DLC installed to be able to use this mod. This mod doesn't give you the DLC; it only loads the DLC data into the main game.

    []Main file 'group_insomnia_ful' will replace the ruined Insomnia map in the main game with Insomnia from Episode Ardyn.

    []The optional 'worldshare_system' files all replace the sky. Choose and install only one at a time.

    []If you want, you can replace only the map or only the sky or both. See images for reference.

    []If you only replace the sky (and/or nuke the weather system as per the update below), the quests in the ruined Insomnia will still be playable.

    []If you only replace the map OR if you replace both (and/or nuke the weather system), you will not be able progress with the main quest or interact with anything aside from destroying props. There will be no NPCs or enemies either. All you'll be able to do is simply run around and take pictures.

    UPDATE 20. 12. 2020 - WEATHER SYSTEM, PARTICULAR AREAS & CUTSCENES IN RUINED INSOMNIA:

    So basically the dark green long-night sky is just a weather effect so you do not actually need to replace the sky to get rid of the effect (hence, I uploaded all sky replacements as optional files). You can simply disable the general weather system in the game to get the same result as with EPA Insomnia sky. Note that this will again affect both Insomnia and the rest of Lucis. To disable the general weather system, rename or move the following main weather system file:

    \datas\level\world\worldshare\environment\system\worldshare_system_climatebox.earc

    The above will clear up the sky in certain parts of the ruined Insomnia. Some areas will still stay covered by the dark green sky though. No restrictions in EPA Insomnia. To clear up the sky in the entire ruined Insomnia, go to \datas\level\dlc_ex\ful\qr
