@Adas8812 It's not caused by VisualVanilla (or Visual Paradise or any graphic mod) but rather by the LOD lights I think

Its a graphic enhancer , the textures look more sharper like MSAA (4X) , also its a fps booster i gain over a 8 frames especially at nights , but the colors in sunny daylight weather is oversaturated and washed with a lot fog in horizon.
I suggest to download this file https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/r-hancer-graphics-mod and you replace only two files in time cycle folder w_clear & w_clearing .Try this https://www.file.io/mGdO/download/D8FBGY71Xg3i

Is it possible to add a workaround for the ugly shadow cascades from vanilla game?

@spiderGrear2 yes, use soft shadows and set cascade in timecycles to 5.5000 to all

@MadHunter what is cascade bra and what is the path and wher i can set it

@Alex106 hello, is there a chance you can return ps3/xbox360 trees and vegetations? Restored Old Gen Assets has some but not many.

@wand031oe It's not worth porting those because they're too low poly

@Alex106 sorry to hear that bc I think original trees and vegetations was the best. Mod from Andrey_gta5 make some of them blocky unfortunately. But thanks for reply!

Beautiful

@Alex106 why not oiv?

@Alex106 I still don't understand a thing. Since "The Chop Shop Update" a lot of mods has to be updated to be compatible with every new patch, what's the reason?

@Mauluskus Because the installation is pretty straight forward (drag and drop two folders in the update.rpf and that's it. Same goes for the optionals)
@Imad Miganeh It depends on the mod. In this case I had to update the "timecycle_mods_*" XMLs to the newest version because of the newly added interiors

@Alex106 Aah! Is it only that? Perfect! Two damn days searching for the problem... What a frustrating research 😧 I had to "dismount" all my work in the 'mods' folder.
Thank you, mister 👍
Without the Old-Gen stuff and IV Style things, for me, GTA V is unplayable these days.

Will you modify weather.xml in the future?

@SomeoneWithoutName There's nothing needed to modify for that file

Hello, i think some of these screenshots are not made with only this and default gta graphics, i installed this and use nothing else and it does not look like any of those daylight screens.
My ingame settings is set from a commandline:-width 1920-height 1080-ignoreDifferentVideoCard-fullscreen-anisotropicQualityLevel 16-cityDensity 0.0-postFX 2-textureQuality 1-SSAO 0-tessellation 1-norestrictions-noInGameDOF-grassQuality 0-particleQuality 0-hdr-shadowQuality 1-reflectionQuality 0-shaderQuality 0 maybe thats why, but it says Nothing about that i NEED my settings to be on Max for this. Also, how does this work with VisualV? could those two run on same game?

@Rawo
1) The screenshots have all been taken with just this mod and nothing else installed. As for the graphics settings, they wouldn't change much, if anything at all of how it looks
2) No, it doesn't work with VisualV (the same goes if you were to combine two other graphic mods), because both change quite a lot of the same files, such as w_extrasunny, timecycle_mods_1 etc

nice.
vanilla graphic with this mod looks awesome.

Very cool mod and by the way Alex106, is it possible to make the same graphics but similar to the graphics from the game’s promo trailers? Or will there be such a mod?

Love that this mod has an optional installation to remove light pollution/fog volumes. Been working on a zombie survival focused game build that uses a blackout mod. Unfortunately (while there are plenty), no blackout mods seem to account for the baked in light pollution at night. I hunted hours and hours for something that removes the light pollution and this did the trick. Works flawlessly with darker nights and it makes for some very tense late night supply runs.
