ScriptHookV2

Note: There's 2 minor bugs, when weather transitioning from thunder or shower weather, there will be a cloud reset sort of effect, and due to artificial lighting in cutscenes, cutscenes in weathers covered by clouds will look off (you could use ALR to alleviate this issue.)

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Massive community trust with 1,892 endorsements and 98k downloads
  • Tackles multiple visual aspects at once—clouds, lighting, water, particles—so you get a full overhaul in one mod
  • Includes vanilla lighting fixes for specific spots that annoyed players, like the shack in Shepard's Rise

⚠️ Cons

  • Two known bugs: cloud reset effect during weather transitions from thunder/shower, and cutscenes look off in cloudy weather due to artificial lighting
  • Requires both LML and ScriptHookV2, so setup is more involved than a simple drop-in
  • TAA overhaul may force you to tweak sharpening settings to get the look you want
🎯 Is This For You?
For Far Cry 5 players who want a dramatic visual overhaul that changes weather, lighting, and water without going full realism. If you're tired of the vanilla color grading and want a cleaner, more natural look, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the original art style or don't want to deal with mod dependencies.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have LML and ScriptHookV2 installed and updated before adding Collyrium, or the mod won't load.
  • After installing, check your graphics settings for the new SSAO type option—try the max slider version for best results.
  • If you notice blurriness, reduce sharpening in your graphics settings since the TAA overhaul changes the default look.
