Do you want the novelty of VESTIGIA’s weather systems, ped interactions and its Quality-of-Life visual changes, but also think that I have bad visual taste? Well, Vestigia Lite is here to help! With this mod, you can get the full VESTIGIA experience without my subjective visual edits!
Acknowledgments:
Before getting into more detail on features, my utmost thanks to:
DayL, who gave me this idea and demonstrated its plausibility.
Majestic253, who provided us Advanced Game Settings, some settings of which are used in this mod.
Swartz420, the work of whom has been essential for visual modders like us.
WhyEm, who has helped me throughout this process, and has been so kind to design a cover.
And even though I’ve never talked to the Visual Redemption team, they’ve still been a massive inspiration.
Conflicts (non-exhaustive list):
This mod is confirmed to have unfixable conflicts with:
No Vignette
The Perfect TAA
TAA Enhanced
Advanced Game Settings
Enhanced Visual Settings
Stutter Fix
Visual Redemption
A Modest Memory Pool Booster for LML
Visuals (therefore also V.Vintage)
Dark Nights
Fixes Graphical Issues
More Stars (Modified Dark Nights)
Permanent Dirt Decals
Red Dead Reimagined
This mod, unlike the full version, is compatible with WhyEm’s Rain
This mod is confirmed to have fixable conflicts with:
Crime and Law Rebalance and Enhancement (their mod should overwrite mine)
Ambient Gang (their mod should overwrite mine)
Improved Wildlife (my mod should overwrite theirs)
LAW (their mod should overwrite mine)
Realistic Loadouts (their mod should overwrite mine)
This mod might cause unfixable issues with:
Longer Days
More Persistent Weather
Consistent Timeflow and Custom Timescale (although it does seem to be more stable than the alternatives)
Custom Time Scale
This mod might cause fixable issues with:
Rampage (fixed by teleporting with ‘travel screen’ option selected)
Known issues:
The raised ped limit can cause some instability in two specific instances; when loading the game with other resource-intensive mods, and when teleports happen without (or before) loading screens. While I have not noticed any crashes in gameplay without the use of other resource-intensive mods, when using the ‘game benchmark’, the raised ped limit can sometimes cause a crash. If you want to avoid this, and are willing to sacrifice some of the ped density-related features, you can opt-in to the CrashSafe Addon.
Features:
The mod is divided into 4 sections/modules, all of which can be enabled/disabled by double-clicking the mod in LML.
Regardless, the mod unlocks all graphics and audio settings. (again, thanks to Swartz420, Majestic253, and WhyEm). Below is a list of major features, there are a few more minor ones; important or game-changing features are shown in bold and italic.
Module: Weather Systems
-Overhauls all weather transitions and makes them constant. Above making the game’s weather system feel like a connected system, rather than a bunch of disjoint timecycles, this means that transitions are now slow enough to not be jarring and much more natural. However, the game can still force transitions in some instances.
-Changes the temperature system to be more in line with late spring-early summer US.
-Adjusts chances of different weather events accordingly.
Module: Visuals
-Minor visual tweaks; reduced vignetting, increased quality of some reflections and lighting along with other minor bugfixes.
Module: Flora-Related Changes
-Changes in material simulation to create more responsive terrain.
-Denser underbrush for forests.
-More realistic scrublands.
Module: Ped Densities (can be somewhat performance intensive)
-Raises the ped limit to 225 (note the slight decrease from the full version, only without CrashSafe Addon)
-More peds in cities.
-More realistic wildlife placement.
-Generally more birds. (only without CrashSafe Addon)
-Changes in animal and human AI.
-Peds are more likely to converse between themselves.
-Birds flap their wings a little faster.
Installation:
Of course, you need Lenny’s Mod Loader for this mod to work, but other than that, it is pretty simple: put the ‘VESTIGIA Lite’ folder into your ‘lml’ folder in your game directory. After this, you need to open the LML UI (the .exe called ModManager.UI, in the folder called ModManager), double-click on VESTIGIA Lite, and select the modules you want.
