📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS NOT NEEDED IF YOU USE THE FRONTIER UNOFFICIAL PATCH, IT IS INCLUDED WITH IT.
Review of the mod in game!
I applied my own modified version of the Dusty Distance xEdit script to The Frontier weathers at 89,000 during the day to make this patch. Adds ambiance and covers up flickering LOD.
By using this patch you do not need to add the script directly to your theFrontier.esm, keeping it clean of edits.
In my opinion 89,000 is the perfect balance for obscuring LOD, hiding z-fighting, ability to see far distances, and for visuals. If anyone would like me to publish a version with closer or more distant fog just let me know in the comments.
