About this mod

See colors as they were meant to be... "Env" lighting/weather mod that recolors most fog, sky, and sunlight colors to pure white so that world objects appear the correct colors instead of taking color from the atmosphere...

The original "Night City Lights" mod with normal, colorful sunlight can be found HERE (original mod), or an even more colorful version can be found HERE (SRGBeauty Edition)


Screenshot comparisons (of the "Spring Rises" variant) with different LUT mods can be found at the end of the images... The LUTs shown are Nova LUT (Vibrant & Pure) by u/TheCyanideX, Natural Californian Lighting Mod (LUT only) by u/ctxrlsec, and GITS Fuji (LUT only) by u/BabaBooey88


Mod Details:

  • Color Grading tweaks to get rid of the "green" filter
  • Sun, fog, and skybox color changes to make sunlight pure white
  • Removes the vignette effect
  • Customized weather cycles (all weather states have about the same chance of occurring at any time and last about the same amount of in-game hours... Also disables transitions to extreme weather states)... Also adds in a custom "overcast" weather state (Heavy Clouds isn't full overcast in this mod, so I made a new one that is)...
  • A bunch of other tweaks to things like auto-exposure (eye adaptation) so the white sun isn't super blinding
  • Alternate "Spring Rises" variant available that has Spring sun rotation (instead of the vanilla Summer rotation)... Technically not real California Spring values, but not vanilla Summer either... It's different...lol
  • Alternate versions with the game's sharpening filter are available under "Miscellaneous" files
  • The "Alternate Sunny Weather - No Vol Clouds" file disables volumetric clouds entirely for Sunny weather so you get nice
    clear skies... You can use my Manually Enhanced Atmospheric Clouds - Texture Swaps mod with this (or with any file/vanilla) to add clouds (way up high, not the normal volumetric clouds)... See screenshots near the end of images for comparisons of this (look at the labels at the bottom of the images for ones labeled "with MEAC")...

Installation:
  • Extract to main CP77 install folder or install with Vortex
  • Only install one version of this mod at a time (or at least only have one version enabled)
  • Note that neither of the "Required" mods are technically required, but it is highly recommended that you at least get the "Nulled World Env FX Triggers[/url] mod to make the weather affect the entire map (including the Badlands)... I also personally suggest to mix with a variant (any of them) from my "Manually Enhanced Atmospheric Clouds" mod, as they give this mod the look that I really wanted it to have (nearly pure white skies/sunlight)... However, you can choose to use this mod without either of these "required" files if you'd like...

Uninstallation:
  • Delete the "!_Night City Lights - XXX.archive" file from your [CP77>archive>pc>mod] folder


Compatibility:
  • This is not compatible with other "env" mods (mods that change things like vignette, weather cycles, sharpening, auto-exposure, etc), such as the original "Night City Lights" (the "Alternate Sunny Weather" file is compatible with them, though)
  • It is compatible with LUT mods, such as Nova LUT by u/TheCyanideX
  • It is compatible with weather state "envparam" swaps, such as my Cloudy NC, my Manually Enhanced Rain FX, and the "envparams only" file from Natural Californian Lighting Mod by u/ctxrlsec (make sure these take priority over this mod in your load order)
  • It should be compatible with all other mods
