Enhance graphics?

[Daяқ|мaѕta]

I upgraded my hardware recently and want to enjoy a better graphical experience with the game. Is there any working mod that enhances sharpness and fidelity?

Try Render IT! and/or Ultimate Eyecandy

The game have pretty bad AA, and even if you apply external software AA to it, it's still pretty meh. For most detailers that cares about picture quality, the usual go to is simply brute force playing the game at 4k and beyond. If your screen isn't native 4K and you don't want to use DSR/VSR, there's the [Dynamic Resolution] mod which you can toggle resolution on the fly. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=812713438&searchtext=dynamic+resolution

And then the object draw distance. Most objects have very low draw distance, for example tree is mere 475 meter. For good reason of course - it is the most performance intensive object. You can bump up draw distance of various aspect with the [Visibility Control] mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2966894510&searchtext=visibility+control

The rest of stuff like map theme and LUT are not much performance impact, pick something you think looks great. Personally I really likes Laviante LUT & map theme. See : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STsq9qE-w5M

Seems to be a decent mod.. but it has a conflict with PropAnarchy... so not really the best choice in my humble opinion ;3

Get theme mixer and some map themes and LUTs! They make a world of difference, I couldn't play vanilla look anymore. Be aware that some themes are really detailed, so if your pc can handle it go for it.
You need some good lighting mod, Render It! is the most viable and stable one.
If the shadows are too dark, you can instead put light intensity to 1 or 2, but use Theme mixer to increase exposure instead.
You can get sharper textures / LODs with the mods the previous comment mentioned

Get yourself updated instead. EML version of prop anarchy was obsolete. Their development has stopped.

I cant seem to fix the darkshadows option vs over exposure. The white buildings are too bright and the shadows are black as night. What settings do you use?
