NaturalVision Remastered (NVR) is a complete overhaul of the original mod. Numerous changes were made to the environmental weathers, lighting system, ambient colors and tonemapping in order to blur the line between fantasy and reality.
The goal was to try and make GTAV look visually similar to Southern California in real life. The author has viewed more than 40 hours of video footage, hundreds of photos and researched a variety of neighboring districts within the Los Angeles and Salton Sea areas. All of this was necessary in order to produce the most realistic visual experience currently possible with GTAV's game engine.
Fun Fact: Over 1200 hours were spent working on the Remastered update over the course of six months.
The aesthetic behind NaturalVision Remastered was inspired by Forza Horizon 3, Watch_Dogs, GTAIV and a variety of other games. Numerous ambient details were taken from those titles and reproduced in GTAV's various weathers.
Unlike any of the previous versions, NaturalVision Remastered does not rely on ReShade for its looks. This allows for players to enjoy a massive boost in performance.
There are many optional add-ons included with this mod, ranging from a texture color overhaul pack to LSPDFR related lighting tweaks.
It also includes an optional ENB and ReShade package, which outputs minimal effects such as sharpening and ambient occlusion.
Please leave your feedback in the comments section.
This mod requires VisualV in order to properly work.
You can download it at this link.
———————————————————————
Install guide is included in the super detailed "README" file within the download.
The README is currently available in the following languages:
English, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian, Korean and Portuguese
Please read everything carefully in the readme before commenting about an issue. There is a good amount of useful information in there that should help troubleshoot your issues and also answer your questions.
IMPORTANT You must put your GTAV display brightness at 50% for the best possible experience.
———————————————————————
With NaturalVision Remastered, your in-game performance will be about the same as vanilla.
The only thing that matters is how you currently run GTAV without mods and the FPS you receive on average.
If you plan on using ReShade then you may experience performance loss, but it's not necessary to use it anymore.
There is little to no performance loss with ENB by itself, so feel free to use that.

@Asahammer Sure and this is the reason why I cannot have any mods because I play only GTA Online with friends and not singleplayer. Singlepayer was here at april 2015, not today.

Hi everyone, I just want to prove a status update. First off, I am doing okay and made it through the awful hurricane. Thanks to everyone that reached out and supported me. I've been working on the next NVR update ever since I got my electricity back a few days ago. It's coming along really well... here is a picture you can check out: https://www.flickr.com/photos/137735387@N03/37053146396/
I've decided to extend the release schedule because I am adding new features in addition to going back and updating a few weathers. If you are a fan of Forza then you will enjoy one of the new features from the next update.
I need as much time as possible to finish the update. Due to how busy I am, there is little time to sit here and respond to every single comment. I apologize if I have not responded to your question or concern. I'm very appreciative of people helping each other out in the comments section. It takes a huge load off my back. Rest assure, I do read every single comment even though I have not provided a response. Any potential issues that you point out will be carefully reviewed, so please keep it coming.
Thanks for reading this status update. Now I will try to answer some questions below.
@Exorcist It's not necessary for you to update VisualV but NVR is still compatible with it. You should try out the new shadow .ASI plugin from the latest VisualV update, as it enables headlight shadows from NPC vehicles. Very cool stuff and just as expected from the talented duo.
@Gamer456 I do use ENB / ReShade in my screenshots. The extra mods that I use are listed in the readme. None of them have a major impact on visual fidelity with the exception of LA Roads, but I find myself using vanilla roads from time to time since they're very detailed. To better help you, please provide screenshots that show how your game looks. Then I will have a better understanding of what went wrong.
@Asahammer I'll add support for RadianceV in the next update if you really want it. The NVR uninstaller removes VisualV and most graphics mods in general.
@wetbeard Reinstall the normal NVR OIV package to restore your files. From there, you can go back and apply the add-on's that you want to use.
@iamsikora If you're saying the sky doesn't light up and you don't see lighting strikes in Thunder weather, then there is clearly something wrong with your game. Do a clean install and follow the readme once again. Haze does exist in every single weather and it's more realistic than vanilla haze. It's just as clear as it would be if you stepped foot into Los Angeles. Vanilla haze just hides the low quality buildings by masking draw distance in an unrealistic manner with tons of heavy fog.

@Razed It's good to hear you made it through the hurricane! I didn't know you were in that area. I know what that's like; it's good you're okay.
Yes, Radiance support would be awesome. But perhaps less confusing than the way VisualV does it? They advised me to install VisualV, Radiance, then the VisualV Radiance Compatibility Pack. But their Compatibility Pack overwrites visualsettings.dat, so I don't even see the point in installing Radiance there at all. But yeah, it would be awesome.
