Thank you so much for this, it's one of those "how did I live without it" mods for me already. I love smart frames and had photos taken of my V and my friend's NPV, but some of the photos in-game were so over-exposed they were barely visible. Now, I can see our girlies hanging out clearly, and it's made smart frames actually enjoyable and usable.
Which of the three versions did you use to get rid of the over-expose effect? I've got many, many images looking all white, literally square-shaped lanterns, hehe.
This mod is very nice, thanks! Just FYI -- and sorry if I'm mistaken -- but it looks like the version you call "Bright Default" in the downloads page is actually the "Dark Default" one and vice versa.
This seems noice. But i may ask. Since the Smart Screen mods that remove ghosting and scanlines from old are all deprecated, have you fought about making a new version of them? Lowkey can't stand the 90s VGA puke that is everywhere in the game.
can you give some examples of the other mods you're thinking of and examples of where in the game you see those effects that you don't like? i can look into it but i don't know if it's possible. if the mods that previously fixed it are no longer working there might be a reason for that
There are like 2-3 modern screen mods but this one (1), and then this one in particular๏ปฟ is probably the most extensive. It used to remove scan-lines and ghosting and now i doubt the mod actually works anymore. would be nice if it was revitalized and removes even more scan-lines and ghosting (like maybe SmartScreens by default, elevator buttons...). the game is puked with it.
Thank you, some frames work great but others get very overexposed and its hard to see the image (because of their surrounding lighting) and it really bothered me cause like whats the point then.
I had doubts whether to use this or not, but I am a big fan of mods EtaKrysaTarakan, if you give your approval, for me this is a must install ๐ no more doubts, tested and wonderful.
Very nice work, your latest mod, Atlantis, is wonderful too, I would love to see many more of your mods of this type.
So far this seems better than vanilla (I didn't have as many bad effects possibly due to my graphics being on low). I think the pictures in Smart Frames are still a bit undersaturated (at least compared to the preview), but I still like it better than it was before.
unfortunately i haven't found a way to make the images displayed match 1:1 to what we'd see while taking a screenshot, and i think it has something to do with the actual material of the smart frames. though it may not look great in the preview images, the better option for images to look closer to originals is to use one of the darker lighting options and illuminate the smart frame with a placed light as you would a painting or photo hung up irl. colors look much better that way
Lore wise it doesn't make sense for the smartframes to have dogpoop screens, since the majority of displays in 2025 are OLED, then again, V is canonically poor when the game officially begins, so it might make sense in that context? I'm overthinking this slightly lol Thanks for the mod, choom!
Smartframes are made by Kiroshi though, so they should be top of the line. Of course it could just be that by 2077 we will have reached peak enshitification of pretty much everything... :'p
when i was working on the files, i thought it was very cool how many options there are to change how it displays images thanks to the smart frame shader they are using in game... but it also felt like if someone just discovered instagram filters for the first time, and used all at once ๐ to me it's just an example of small disconnect between function and design

This mod works except for those elevator buttons
Super nice to have this to address it.
EDIT:
Tested ingame, looks much better, endorsed.
