I think that the games (IV/EFLC) have too many and unnecessary visual effects and they provoke lags, low fps, popping textures and many others problems.

Don't get me wrong, this mod doesn't remove the effects, this mod arrange the visual effects, strengthen some on the suitable places and reduce some.

Whole new visual style.
- Improve colors and brightness/dark in all hours and weathers.
- Realistic fog.
- Improved night lights (realistic color and brithness).
- Bloom effect is placed only on suitable places , colors, lights.
- Light coronas are visible only nighttime and all hours when is foggy, rain, drizzle and lighting.
- There is no ambient shadows from 7pm to 7am, also all hours when is foggy, rain, drizzle and lighting.
- Better load of the trees and the bushes, reduce popping of the trees.
- The stars are visible on medium textures.
- AA (antialiasing) and colors sharpness by Sweet Effect.
- Motion blur: completely remove static blur, remain only motion blur.
- Dynamic lights.
- During night each area has his own light's intensity.
- Many others.

100% Final/Performance: DOWNLOAD

The graphics is same for all games (IV and EFLC), like in this pics!!!
They are on 1280/720, medium textures, night shadows - high.












THIS MOD WILL MAKE YOU FORGET ABOUT THE POPPING TEXTURES, BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTWEIGHT EFFECTS AND THE NEW LODS OF THE TREES AND BUSHES.

Work only with the last patches of the games - 1.0.7.0 IV and 1.1.2.0 EFLC, also the games must be clean (no visual, or texture moded)!!!

To install this mod you need from Open IV:

looks amazing! can you upload to Mediafire?

It looks ok-ish .. the jaggies annoy me too much though. Apply some AA to it.

What are the specs of your system ?

What other mods do you have installed, and how many FPS are you getting? Also, post a screen of IG settings, or list them.

Thanks.

don't use jpg for screenshots

About anoying jaggies you can use injectSMAA v1.2

I don't have any others mods!!!

I tried it on athlon 2 cores; 512 mb video; 2 gb ram and it work well on medium settings (Res: 1152/864 and night shadows on HIGH).

I guarantee +10 fps than original games!!! If you install evrything!!!

Thanks for the work, T-ru. My computer apparently hates running vanilla GTA graphics, but gets much better performance with mods like these. Most of the others I found had issues with brightness and glare, but yours is just fine!

One issue, though. My custom lightbar coronas (I use the Non-Els Coronas from LCPDFR.com) have disappeared, and I'd like to get them back. Is there something I can tweak in visualsettings?

If your coronas are disappeared during daytime it's ok because i reduce them (make them invisible) from 7 am until 8 pm like in reality (and for more performance), you can't tweak them by visualsetting.dat, they are deep in timecyc.dat files, now i have some time, ill bring them back during daytime in next hour, and ill post it on the first post.
But if they are disappeared during nighttime then don't use the files from pc,textures.

ED: Done, read the first post.

Hey, T-ru. Is there a chance of getting the latest version with the light coronas left on during the day?

Thanks again for this tweak.

Thanks a bunch for the optional version, and everything else is looking great.

@The Loot: You are welcome, I'm glad that you like it.

There is a final version.

[darkdude]

i love this mod, but could you reduce the brightness in daytime?

About too much brightness during daytime - all monitors have different parameters between each other, gamma, color temperature (K), RGB ... etc. And mods like this is looking great or awful in depends of the sreen.
I made it like this to feel the sunlight.

I use these screen parametres:
gamma: -50
contrast: 70
brightness: 93
red: 49
green: 50
blue: 50
Color temperature: 6500K

I recommend you to use those parametres, because you'll get more realistic colors for all games and it's safety for the eyes.
I made final(Hotfix) version in the first post, more performance, tweaked trees, bushes and some colors
