Season Manager (add-on) - 12 Stage Seasonal Visuals and Environment

The 12-Stage Seasonal Visuals & Environment

(Inspired by Dynamic Seasons, and VESTIGIA Legacy Version (1. 0))

This add-on of Season Manager controls the game's graphics, physics, and visual effects.

The mod's core visual base is built strictly on Vanilla Visuals, ensuring maximum stability and a look that feels native to the game. A single "master" file is used as a template to generate 12 unique visual profiles. Over 225 different graphical parameters are dynamically tuned for each stage, so the look and feel of the world perfectly matches the time of year.

Prefer the look of other visual mods? No problem. While the base installation is Vanilla, optional merged versions of popular visual mods, such as WhyEm's Visuals, VESTIGIA Legacy Version (1. 0), VESTIGIA 2. 0 - A Visual Mod, Collyrium, Visual Redemption, Best TAA and Visual Effects, Renewal - Visual Overhaul, and Kiddo's World Wildlife Weather and Visual, are available in the download section.

Key Features

Here are some of the features of 12 Stage Seasonal Visuals and Environment you will see change as you progress through the stages:

☀️ Atmosphere & Lighting

The very quality of the light changes to match the time of year.

• []Sun Intensity: The sun is no longer a static light source. It's at its weakest and lowest in the sky during the middle of winter and at its most intense and blazing in the middle of summer.

  []Seasonal Day/Night Length: Day and night lengths are now dynamic. The sun rises earliest in summer (6:00 AM) and latest in winter (7:00 AM). All related lighting, including streetlights, house lights, and vehicle lights, adjusts to this new cycle automatically.

  []Night Sky: The night sky adapts to the atmosphere. On a hazy midsummer night, the moon and stars are fainter. On a clear, cold mid-winter night, the moon is brighter, and the stars and galaxies are significantly more brilliant and intense.

💡 Lighting & Shadows

Artificial lights and shadows are now tied to the seasonal environment.

[]Light Realism: Street lamps and train lights burn visibly brighter in the cold, clear winter air. Because there is less haze, these lights will appear as smaller, sharper points of light rather than the large, hazy blooms you see in summer.

[*]Shadow Quality: Shadows are no longer static. The high, direct sun of midsummer produces
