This timecycle graphics mod aims to make the game more natural, less dark/grey and more vibrant. It doesn't use ENB/Reshade shaders so it's timecycle only. It's also perfect for people with low end hardware because the performance should be exactly like vanilla. This mod is compatible with every patch and also works with EFLC. Don't mix this graphics mod with other graphics mods. It won't work and it won't look good. Definitely recommended in combination with FusionFix because of the shader improvements/fixes.
