Removed unnecessary particles causing FPS interruptions.

Author's words:

This mod removes some useless particles like dust, paper, swirling leaves, mist, etc. that cause unstable FPS during ultra-mod games or CTD (if possible) by adjusting the number of particles required to affect via ini files. This is useful when using Extreme Particles Overhaul or Burst Impact FX, which require you to push them to their absolute limits without compromising performance.

It might be insignificant at lower particle numbers (i.e. 750 - 10,000), but when launched at 100,000 - 1,000,000 (over), this is where the unstable FPS comes into play.

Might be useful for lower end users, or at least have some small FPS gain.

Actual particles removed (for low-end users, will tear up your FPS at high particle counts):

  • Swirls of paper and leaves
  • Use idle dust particles on darker/dark nights between Sanctuary Hills and the entrance/exit of Vault 111 (probably applicable to all congested downtown Boston)
  • Glowing sea fog particles + mirage (image distortion)
  • Far Harbor Fog
  • HalluciGen fog (except leakage particle animation)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
