📋 About This Mod
Hey folks ... this mod is now DISCONTINUED... but please see the NEW version HERE!
I will be keeping this mod up for historical record ... or something ... but all support and updates will be at the new location ;)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW: Add some visual pizazz and styling to the graphics of Fallout New Vegas with this custom crafted ENBseries adaptation.
CTD on Startup?? Your game may crash at startup if you are running D3DOverrider, EVGA Precision, Afterburner and/or other driver management or chat/overlay apps. Those who use MSI Afterburner should check "Enable compatibility with modified Direct3D runtime libraries" at properties in On-Screen Display server to use it along with this mod.
>> EFFECTS! - Truly dynamic depth of field, enhanced bloom, palette tone-mapping, color diffusion post-processing, optional SSAO and more.

Color sprectrums will shift and your 'eyes' will gradually 'adjust' as you move through different in-game lighting conditions. See the new Mojave V3 Palette with 'Sun Stare' for a clear example of this effect, Demo video HERE.
>> EASY INSTALL! - Just plop a few files into your game's root folder, as detailed in the included README files and User Guide. To uninstall, simply remove or delete the same files you installed. Also, it's a 100% CLEAN UNINSTALL, with no 'lingering effects', etc.
>> PERFORMANCE?! - The Full versions of the mod are NOT for low-end systems; they require a high-end GPU and computer, and will have some impact on your framerate. The new 'LITE' version however, can be
