Make a backup of your update.rpf file! Swap the backup with the modded file when you want to play Online! 

UPDATE: Weather cycles have minimal fog in the background as opposed to none at all. Also removed noise (in addition to Chromatic Aberration.) Check out the new screenshots! 

This is version 1.2, and I'm still reading comments to consider for the next update! 

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, reducing it's medium and lower values. There is no tampering with Clouds, Tonemap or anything else too specific

I edited all 4 timecycle files. I focused on a few things. Extending farclip, removing fog, disabling noise & chromatic aberration for all scenes & locations in the game

I lowered all fog_density values in most weather files.

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!
