📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD DOES NOT REQUIRE RESHADE TO FUNCTION
Night Vision Improvements is a mod that offers replacements of the default NVG appearance and alters the default post processing values to allow for more consistent dark environment gameplay...without coding in the infrared spectrum into Unreal Engine like Infinity Ward did with their IW 8 engine for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) version "simulates" what night vision devices see through a complex post-process setup. This allows you to have color peripheral vision while night vision is active. Unlike Reshade, it does not have a massive hit on performance.
- Mods that adjust night vision post processing effects or blueprints are not compatible -
- This mod will overwrite mods that change the IR laser beam or dot-
-Mods that alter night vision LUTs or textures are compatible -
- PIP IS NOT compatible with any night vision mods -
- Laser mod has varying compatibility, see stickied post -
- PIP Version 0. 8. 3 Released -
- NVI 1. 9. 1 Released -

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,096 endorsements and 82k downloads – clearly doing something right.
- No ReShade needed, so you can get better night vision without messing with extra tools.
- Actively maintained – last updated July 2026, so it's not abandoned.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is vague – doesn't detail exactly what's fixed or changed, so you're going in blind.
- Visual mods can clash with other graphics overhauls – watch for conflicts with ENB or texture packs.
- Only affects night vision – if you're looking for broader visual improvements, this won't cut it.
For S.T.A.L.K.E.R. players who rely on night vision and want a cleaner, more functional effect without the hassle of ReShade. If you're a purist who wants to keep your setup simple, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want comprehensive visual overhauls – this is strictly a night vision fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a visual mod, make sure to back up your original game files before overwriting anything.
- If you're using other graphics mods, test this one in a dark area to ensure no weird interactions.
- Check the mod's page for any specific load order instructions – visual mods sometimes need to be loaded after texture packs.
