📋 About This Mod
No more 4 Star VFX & Sounds for better performance and immersion
Description
Some new 4 Star effects from the Free Lanes update add some visual glowing colors around your character, as well as some hit shaders (mostly blur effect) and sounds.
Those VFX can have a negative effect on the game's performance, and some players feel they are immersion breaking.
This mod removes those visual and sound FX for the following 4 Star Legendary effects:
-
[]Weapons: Bloodthirsty / Methodical[/]
[]Helmets: Advanced Targeting / Mercenary[/]
[]Spacesuits: Abyssal Release / Enigmatic / Speedster[/]
[]Boost Pack: Aerial Advantage / Grenadier[/]
[]Starborn Suit: Inspiring[/]
The following 4 Star effects are unaffected, as they do not add any unwanted glow, hit shaders, or sounds:
- []Weapons: Barbaric / Kismet / Reckless / Saboteur[/]
Upon testing, the removal of those effects does indeed help maintain better performance.
You will be able to disable this mod in the future when/if Bethesda addresses those performance issues, and the VFX and sounds will return.
For this, simply untick the mod in your load order, then load your game.
You will get the prompt that the save relies on content that isn't there anymore, just proceed to load your game without re-enabling the mod and the VFX will be back.
