📋 About This Mod
This mod brings a big change mainly to lighting but also atmosphere for each stage (except Proud Spire for now). Been working on this on and off for over a year, heavily modifying or tweaking lighting, shadows, ambient occlusion, VFX, materials, volumetric fog etc. It can be installed on a per stage basis, so pick and choose. Also, all the Training Room Rework enjoyers can stop messaging me now because it's here too, along with improvements and variations.
This may likely cost a few fps but even before my mid range budget pc got fried (unrelated reasons), I was still hitting a consistent 60fps with the highest settings at 1080p. If you can comfortably play at those settings or higher you should be good. Nevertheless, I've made some tweaks so it looks good at lower settings.
There are still imperfections here and there. I'm no developer after all. For instance, stages that are shared in world tour may look off in that mode. So maybe uninstall those stages when you plan to play world tour, or don't, up to you.
Comparison images were taken at 1440p with all settings at their highest. If you want the same look as the images you'll have to turn on bloom. You can also tweak the in-game brightness to your tastes.
Thanks to FishBoy for helping me test some stages and alphaZomega for the tips when I was staring out with only Genbu Temple in mind. Anyway, I need to relax. Just had a back tooth removed and the pain f**king sucks. Enjoy!
INSTALLATION

Stage Lighting Overhaul by GhostDog revamps lighting, shadows, ambient occlusion, VFX, materials, and volumetric fog for most stages in a fighting game, with per-stage installation and a Training Room Rework included. It may cost a few FPS but runs at 60fps on mid-range hardware at high settings, and includes tweaks for lower settings. Some imperfections exist in World Tour mode for shared stages.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 207 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads, showing solid traction.
- Per-stage installation gives you full control—only apply it to stages you actually use.
- Performance-friendly: author hit consistent 60fps on a mid-range rig at max settings 1080p, so it's not a slideshow.
- Includes the Training Room Rework, so you get two mods in one.
- Actively maintained—last updated March 2026, so it's fresh.
⚠️ Cons
- Proud Spire is not covered yet, so you'll have inconsistent lighting if you play that stage.
- World Tour mode may look off on shared stages—you might need to uninstall those stages for that mode.
- Potential FPS cost on lower-end hardware, though the author made tweaks for lower settings.
- Compatibility risk with other stage mods—since it heavily modifies materials and fog, conflicts could arise.
For fighting game players who want a visual overhaul that makes stages pop with better lighting and atmosphere, especially if you're tired of flat default looks. It's perfect if you're on a mid-range PC and want to keep 60fps while upgrading visuals. Skip if you're on a potato or if you play World Tour a lot—you'll have to juggle stage installs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install stages individually with Fluffy Mod Manager—don't drop all files at once.
- Only one training stage mod at a time, so pick your favorite variant.
- Turn on bloom in-game to match the comparison images; tweak brightness to taste.
