About this mod

Rebalanced colors for more realistic atmosphere with darker nights

Permissions and credits


Updated preset v2.0
Tune black levels during day
Implemented HQ4X










This is a reshade Framework preset I`ve been working on for some time. It`s my personal reshade, and I wanted to share it. It might suit somebody else`s taste.
My main goal was to tune up the color pallete and make the nights darker while also balancing the day time. I tweak as much as posible to make it less fps hungry. Expect a 5-6 fps hit.
The darker nights are achieved by using Atmospheric nights mod with values between 25-30 darkness intensity. This can be tweak to your personal taste.

For the desired effects as the screenshots shown you should calibrate your monitor and use the following recommended mods:
