📋 About This Mod
This tiny file simply reduces the distance between your character and the in-game fog, hiding the ugly LOD textures without killing your framerate. Inspired by this mod: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1293 To install: drop the esp in your data folder, place a checkmark beside the plugin using FOMM or FONV launcher. To uninstall: remove the esp from the data folder. That\'s it There will be conflicts with any other weather mods, so it should be placed near the bottom of your load order to work properly. Mods used for the screen captures: NMC (Awesome) Texture Pack http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12056 Anime SunGlare http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35243 Detailed Normals - Texture Pack http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38196 ENBseries http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29578 But i would recommend using Tapiok\'s Enhanced shaders since it does the same and even more http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34868
