Hello everyone

I really liked this (source of original unchanged mod: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/saints-row-1-5-lighting. 18736/page-1) amazing mod, but I wanted to improve it a bit. I also adapted it to work with JUICED.

Most of the work was done by the esteemed BandiG, and I only made minor adjustments to the mod, adapted it for JUICED, and added dark nights.

!!!NOT COMPATIBLE with "Gentlemen of the Row" modpack!!!

List of changes of original mod:

1. COMPLETELY reworked lighting and weather, looks FANTASTIC!

List of changes from original unchanged mod:

1. The sun and moon no longer change their size throughout the day; their size is fixed.

2. The moon appears and disappears smoothly, disappearing during the day and reappearing at night.

3. The sun is synchronized with dawn. First, a red glow appears, followed by the rising of the sun, and then dawn sets in.

4. The nights are now dark. The darkest time is right after sunset, then the moon starts to shine and it gets a little lighter.

5. My version of Reshade has been added, the red filter/tint has been removed, and self-shadowing/occlusion has been added.

6. The camera has been modified to view over the character's shoulder. For a more immersive experience :)

7. DXVK is integrated into the game, which converts it from directx to vulkan and significantly improves stability and FPS.

INSTALLATION:

1. The easiest way to install this mod is together with JUICED. Install JUICED from one of the following links:

https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/saints-row-2-juiced-patch. 21627/

https://www.playground.ru/saints_row_2/file/saints_row_2_juiced_patch_i_konsolnye_dlc-1845684

2. Unpack the contents of the "For NEXUS" folder into the game's root folder. Accept the file replacements.

3. Enjoy :)

TESTED AND WORKS AS INTENDED ON 9. 0. 5 version of JUICED.
