ParticlesPlus

ParticlesPlus is a mod that improves the special effects in Kingdom Come 2. Realistic smoke, vivid fire, sparks, blood and dust - everything becomes more detailed, atmospheric and powerful. No more bland special effects, just the chaotic beauty of the Middle Ages!

ParticlesPlus

✨ **The ultimate mod to enhance the visual effects of Kingdom Come 2** ✨

🎯 Module introduction

This mod comprehensively improves the visual effects in Kingdom Come 2: some places have more special effects, some places are clearer, and some places look more logical. Although not a revolutionary change, it is a clear upgrade that makes the game more atmospheric.

I didn't just change the number of particles, I reconfigured their behavior to make the effects smoother and more natural, adding sub-effects for greater realism. All this without much impact on performance.
