What does this mod do? 

Complete restoration of graphics presents at E3 showcase with Next-Gen graphics boost including: 

-Better Lighting
-Improved shadows
-Better reflections both at night and day 
-Color grading and color tone overhaul 
-Sun reflection and glare off objects 
-Increase draw distances and level of detail
-Vegetation improvements with better reactions to wind and fire! 
*You will notice a significant amount of bushes and trees that weren't present in the vanilla version.  
*Fire spreads were already good in vanilla, now the spread is closer to that of Far Cry 2

*Also includes improvements to god rays, fog, and the presentation of the sky and clouds. 
*More specifically adjusting the weird vanilla bug where the moon will move according to your player movement. 

-Unlocks all weapons/ammo/maps from the beginning 
*But they all have a price tag (nothing is free in this world) 
*Better crafting, removing the need for special animal skins. 
-No more skill requirements like going undetected in an enemy camp or gaining karma from random events 

-Removes the intro videos, for quicker start up time! 
-Reduces HUD items, but no so much that you don't know what to do 
-Removes the horrible main menu start up bug where it sometimes switches to window mode

-More Karma events for XP
-More animal spawns (currently too many Dholes, but working on a fix), but honey badgers show up more often for that last weapon slot. 
-More random events like stealing cargo truck or taking out convoy
