So, what files did I edit? 

I dived into visualsettings.dat and tinkered with a few things. Notably I increased rain particles and the minimum size for ripple effect as well as increased the range that DoF takes effect. I didn't mess with Clouds or anything else too specific

I edited all 4 timecycle files. I basically focused solely on fog & chromatic aberration removal for all scenes & locations in the game

I zero'd all fog_density values in most weather files. I left alone the weathers that look best with fog!

This mod requires a little OpenIV knowledge! 

INSTALLATION: 

Use Edit Mode with the latest version of OpenIV

In your /update/ folder, Open "update.rpf"

Open the "common" folder within, then open the /data/ folder

Scroll down and click once on "visualsettings.dat", open a menu over the file and select REPLACE

Browse to my download, which you should have (by now) extracted the files to somewhere on your desktop; select my visualsettings.dat file, and replace the one in OpenIV

Continue these steps to replace the timecycle and weather files. timecycle_mods_2 is not in the update.rpf file, just add it into the same folder as the one's you are replacing! Anything in update.rpf will override common.rpf

Navigate to OpenIV's File tab, select REBUILD; When finished click "Okay!"

Start Game and enjoy! 

As I may be making updates, I only ask of you to credit me (ubtri) with a link to this page (or to http://www.youtube.com/user/ubtri), but please feel free to distribute these files or even branch your work off of mine!
