📋 About This Mod
This makes use of the more advanced tone mapping included in Community Shaders. It is required for the tone mapping to work. Similar changes are included in Faithful Weathers, Azurite III - HDR and NAT. CS III.
Major changes include, new image spaces, no tints and new volumetric lighting. Tweaked nights as well.
Also want to clarify that this is a WEATHER mod, not compatible with other weather mods.
