📋 About This Mod
-
[]INSTALLATION: Use teutinsa's HD2ModManager.[/]
[]PERMISSIONS: I just nulled some textures out. They hardly count as assets anymore. You may repost what's here if you find a better way to do it.[/]
[]CREATION: I used Boxofbiscuit97's HD2SDK-CommunityEdition to find the textures and build the .patch_ files[/]
[]SUPPORT: None given, sorry. It works for me, and as long as it does, I'm content. I probably broke something somewhere that I can't see.[/]
Nulls out some textures that seem to be used for volumetric fog (and maybe also for clouds, but I don't care about clouds.)
The effect highly varied with in-game volumetric fog setting. As of 6. 1. 1, it functions to some degree at only Medium in-game volumetric fog quality setting or higher.
This mod no longer functions as intended, and I can't seem to even install the new modding add-on into blender 4. 0 to even try to fix it. I no longer care.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent traction with 1,244 endorsements and 67k downloads
- Targets a specific visual nuisance for players who dislike fog
- Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game
⚠️ Cons
- Abandoned since January 2025, so no updates or fixes coming
- Only 'somewhat functional' on Medium settings, so may not work well on other levels
- Compatibility risk with other visual mods that alter fog or weather
For players who find terrain fog annoying and want a quick, lightweight fix without overhauling visuals. Skip if you play on Low or High volumetric fog settings, as it may not work as intended.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use other visual mods, test this one last in load order to avoid conflicts
- Since it's abandoned, keep a backup of your original files in case you need to revert
