📋 About This Mod

This SKSE64 plugin can automatically set a global fog settings for new or loaded game,  the exact same way you can manually do it with the SetFog console command.

By default any interior or exterior fog will be made to only render at a far distance. This can look weird in the distance for exteriors if you don't use LOD enhancer mods such as:

- HD LODs Textures SE

- Terrain LOD redone

However the settings can be tweaked to your liking. For example, try various settings ingame using the console command:

SetFog <StartDepth>, <EndDepth>

Then modify the settings to match what you like inside SKSE64_Elys_UFR.ini file.

For example If you want to have clearer interiors but still some fog for exteriors you can try such setting in the Data\SKSE\Plugins\SKSE64_Elys_UFR.ini file.

bEnabled = 1

iStartDepth = 5000

iEndDepth = 500000
