A new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield mod is being hailed as a "game changer" for overhauling the g♐🍨ame's lighting.

The mod in question is called 'S🦂hadowy Shadows - Fluffy Flora Dark Nights and Gorgeous Godrays,' and it's already amassed over 1,300 downloads on since it launched earlier this month. It's aiming to completely change the game's lighting system for even better shadows, while the player is out and exploring the vast reaches of space. 

The fruits of the modder's labor can be seen below, in both before and after screenshots. ෴In truth it's a really impressive creation, bringing depth of field with multiple darker colo🔜rs to Starfield. The player hails it as a "game changer," and a mod that makes exploration more "immersive" than ever before. Starfield's main premise is exploration, so that's a pretty great bonus.

There's even a video clip of the Shadowy Shadows mod in action just below. There's all sorts of biomes shown off, including snowy mountains, lush grasslands, and more, all of which look a damn sight better than th💙ey did before thanks to the 'ini' tweaks the Shadowy Shadows mod plays around with.

The tweaks in particular mean Starfield shouldn't, in theory, suffer any performance-related problems when the mod's running. That's only in theory though, so 🐠it's worth a little warning that in some specific environments like denselꦇy-packed forests, your game could well take a bit of a battering.

The mod is apparently inspired by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077, and "real life," which is a pretty solid set of inspirations. One of the chief aims of the mod is to make shadows "darker," and "render at🉐 a further distance," which the screenshots and video clip above look like they've achieved.
