📋 About This Mod
Tired of a dead sun? Then, this is your mod.
True Sun adds an in-game menu to The Witcher 3 Next-Gen for tweaking sun brightness, bloom, light shafts, lens flares, and eye adaptation. It automatically detects your current region (White Orchard, Velen/Novigrad, Skellige, Toussaint, Kaer Morhen) and applies per-area settings. Ideal for players wanting richer, more dramatic sunlight without manual config edits.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Even with only 1 endorsement, the per-region auto-detection is a standout feature I haven't seen in other sun mods.
- In-game menu means no more editing .ini files — change sun brightness and bloom sliders and see results instantly.
- Author explicitly supports the Next-Gen version, so no worrying about legacy script conflicts.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires The Witcher 3 Next-Gen update — classic 1.32 players are out of luck.
- Tiny user base (1 endorsement, 34 downloads) means limited community feedback and troubleshooting help.
- No stated compatibility with other lighting/weather mods, so you'll need to test for conflicts yourself.
For Witcher 3 Next-Gen players who obsess over lighting and want per-region control of sun glow, god rays, and bloom. Perfect for screenshot enthusiasts and those who find vanilla sun too flat. Skip if you're on classic 1.32 or prefer all-in-one lighting overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Drop the mod folder into your Witcher 3 'mods' directory (e.g., Steam/steamapps/common/The Witcher 3/mods) or use Vortex.
- If you run other mods that touch scripts, launch Script Merger after install to resolve any conflicts with shared imports.
- Start with Bloom Scale Const at 10 in each region, then fine-tune per area to match the mood you want.
