But this works a bit better with fine tuning allowances rather than a "Blanket" approach. I get that some want a run and gun mod, and that is cool, but I like tweaking each form. Between that and this I get the control I want. The 2nd mod has an intelligence test..if you can't figure out how to open it and use the tools, you've failed :) You have been warned readers heh
🤜Hey mate... here you go! Types of files that can be packaged: 👍Materials_Meshes_Scripts_Sounds_Textures; ⚡Scripts and Sounds (large volume_soundtracks) - as a good measure, avoid packing these for bug purposes (leave them as loose files).
You can use two tools to pack the files of the game in "BA2" format (Fallout 4) and or "BSA" format (Skyrim LE; Skyrim SSE/AE).

Just browsing around, and this looks like in engine contrast and white point changes. For anyone wanting something similar but up to date there's Simplest Brightness Saturation Contrast changer. It also lets you customize the picture, changing values of the image space in real time.
Though I'm not saying anything bad about this one! No reason to switch if you're happy and it works.
I'm just obsessed with picture calibration in general, and Simplest has been the best and most up to date I've found for FO4 (an added bonus is that it can reset the brightness bug that can occur in Nuka world)
