📋 About This Mod
PROJECT REALISM
Mod Description:
Changes listed below function on all maps
Update 3. 9:
-Enabled exposure and tweaked it so you don't get blinded while inside the house.
-Restored coloured bloom because it played a main part in coloring the scene. Though intensity of it was severely reduced keeping only it's colouring functions.
-Increased Bloom Threshold so you don't get blinded by your own flashlight
-Enabled fog and tweaked it for dramatic look where it can be
-Reduced sunlight intensity during the day because it was too bright on some maps..
-No fog at night because realism and stuff (it's actually a thing) but more for a reason that the fog produces some weird ass buggy coronas around the moon and makes the precious stars not visible.
-Removed sky swap options, will bring them back when i'm not lazy
COMPATIBLE with UPDATE v36
