About this mod Author’s original text
No Posterization Shader
Disables Lethal Company's posterization/cel-shading ("outline") effect. Useful if you don't like the effect, or want to use a program like ReShade to inject your own post-processing effects.
Tested on v80 only. Earlier versions (v73 or below) should use LethalSponge v1.3.6 or lower, with removePosterizationShader set to true and both useCustomShader and useLegacyCustomShader set to false.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
