📋 About This Mod
ULG (Ultra Low Graphics) Tool
This tool aims to improve performance on old/weak desktops and laptops. It sets many of the graphics settings below the default low limit. This should help increase performance on older computers or laptops. I have seen an average improvement of about 5fps.
