Best Visual QOL Mods?
Havent played this over a decade. id like to keep the content vanilla with only visual and fixes. I tried the Extreme mod but it seems to add a lot of crap.

None really; they all seem jarringly out of place when compared to basegame textures. If you're going to use one, I would say X20 is probably the best, especially if you've played the Tabletop version or are a fan of other WOD stuff.

There are a few ENB's and Reshade presets you could choose from; look on ModDB or Nexus for those if you're interested. Last I heard there was an RTX remaster in the works; but I haven't kept up to date on it's status.

I use sweetFX and just select which presets I want to use. Looks real good to me and without changing the style of the game.

I completely agree with Axle. In my opinion, mostly every attempt to modernize the textures so far ended up breaking the immersion because of the said reasons. Probably only a complete graphical overhaul of all the game's parts would be able to pull it off.

I made my own ReShade(s) with other intentions in mind. Instead of attempting at the futile modernization, I've tried to create one that actually sort of 'downgrades' the looks into something similar to VGA adventures of old, and the other one that kind of 'shifts sideways' into something different altogether—a XIII, Wolf Among Us, Borderlands, etc., inspired re-coating.

Give them a spin, if you'd like:

So far all I've liked was basic ambient occlusion addition using reshade i haven't tried every addon but most seem like fake graphics slop instead of anything that actually adds to the visuals without ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up
