NOTE: I am not the original author of this mod (or rather ModPack)! But due to its unavailability for years, I have decided to re-publish Daniel Vosswar's mod for the sake of preservation and also because many want to download it but are unable to. I do not intend to impersonate the creators of these mods, nor do I want to infringe someone else's author's rights.

This should be the "Main Version" of the mod (if I'm not mistaken).

Text below has been copied from Vosswar's original page (dead links have been removed)

How to install:

Simply extract the folders in the .rar to your main Watch_Dogs folder.
The data_win64 folder contains the 2 patch files with all the mods packed in it, and the bin folder contains my custom ReShade preset.
The ReShade preset helps balance colors and reduce blue tint. You can toggle it with Scroll Lock.

Also, I highly recommend forcing Anisotropic Filtering 16x in your GPU's control panel to reduce texture blur.

Note: If your game doesn't start, it may be due to ReShade (bin folder).
In order to fix that, try either renaming the dxgi.dll to d3d9.dll or d3d11.dll, or try closing any overlay software you have running, GPU/CPU monitoring or any other OSD software that may interfere with ReShade.
Another possible reason is that ReShade requires DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) and will not work if you don't have that, get it here [link].

- For Win7 users, I recommend using this SweetFX preset instead of ReShade: [link]

Known Issues & Complaints:
- ReShade crashes the game for certain people. See the note under the main version links.
- Cloudy weather is too dark, what I do is lower gamma from 1.2 to 1.0 in ReShade (Tonemap) whenever cloudy weather occurs.
- Too much blur. Depth of field and motion blur can be disabled in the game's settings.
- No clouds in clear weather (intended, for clear sky). If you wish to bring them back, use gibbed tools (link) to unpack patch.dat (drag it onto Gibbed.Disrupt.Unpack.exe), open the new patch_unpack folder, delete all the 1kb files in graphics\_textures\sky\plane + ring, repack patch_unpack folder by dragging it onto Gibbed.Disrupt.Pack.exe and rename patch_unpack.dat & fat to patch.dat & fat.
- Not enough distance fog during clear weather. Install this (using gibbed tools) for increased fog: [link]

Mods included:
- Includes most features from the original TheWorse mod, such as depth of field, textures by MaLDo, headlight shadows etc., more info in the original mod page [link] (credits to kadzait24, TheWorse, VAAS and MaLDo)
- Relief Mapping (similar to Parallax Occlusion Mapping) by The Silver [example]
- E3 Focus by txgt
- E3 White helicopter spotlight by txgt [example]
- E3 Beretta 92FS by The Silver + improved specularity material
- Biker outfit (replaces Cyberpunk outfit) by infiniium + helmet reflection fix for rainy weather
- Increased steam/smoke by Essenthy
- Reflective Cloud Gate by The Silver
- Improved Vehicle Lighting by txgt
- Dark blue night sky during clear weather by txgt
- Disabled bloom by txgt
My tweaks:
- Clear sky during clear weather
- Greatly reduced distance fog during clear weather
- Improved weapon materials during rainy weather
- Less obtrusive sun flare & glare
- Less aggressive light adaptation during clear weather
- Color correcting
- More realistic sun & godrays colors
- Modified almost all vegetation (colors/brightness) to better match the lighting [more details]

And many other tweaks.
