Reduce fog intensity

This mod reduces the fog intensity and fog halo effect, but does not completely remove it to maintain a natural look and feel to the atmosphere.

Reduce Fog Intensity

🌫️ About this mod

This mod reduces the intensity of fog and bloom by editing game configuration files to make the game look sharper and cleaner. But we still retained a small part of the effect to maintain the sense of depth and distance in the scene and make the overall atmosphere look more natural.

🛠️ How to use

• You need to install **ScriptHook** and **Lenny's Mod Loader RDR** first.
• Then put the `lml` folder into your game directory.

**💡 Tips**: Due to the reduced fog, I recommend you turn down the sharpening level of DLSS/FSR2/TAA to avoid over-sharpening artifacts.

🔧 Technical details

This mod is based on the original mod, but changes the way it works. The vanilla mod simply sets `fog_start` to 500, which causes fog closer than that distance to not be drawn.

I kept `fog_start` at 0, but multiplied a series of fog-related parameters by adjustment factors:

• `"local_atmosphere_fog_density"`：0.2
• `"local_atmosphere_localized_fog_density_mult"`：0.2
• `"local_atmosphere_fog_volume_mist_density_mult"`：0.2
• `"local_atmosphere_fog_volume_dust_density_mult"`：0.2
• `"local_atmosphere_fog_volume_pollution_density_mult"`：0.2
• `"local_atmosphere_fog_volume_smoke_density_mult"`：0.2
• `"postfx_intensity_bloom"`：0.13
• `"postfx_bloom_fog_mod_intensity"`：0.13
• `"postfx_vignette_intensity"`：0.0
• `"local_atmosphere_cloud_density"`：0.4

In this way, we achieve a smoother, more natural fog reduction effect, rather than a simple "one-size-fits-all" removal.
