This is more than a graphics mod: it’s a ground-up rebuild of weather behavior, textures, and configuration systems — with attention paid to even the smallest details. From the glint of a saloon lantern to the grain in an old barn’s wooden planks, every visual element has been reworked.
Note from the creator:
Due to travel commitments, I may not be able to respond to questions until September. I appreciate your understanding and support!
💡 Key Features

🌦️ Weather Simulation HighlightsUnlike the vanilla game's static weather loops, this mod introduces dynamic, region-based weather using real climate data.Each region has a unique year-round cycle, driven by handcrafted numerical interpolation systems, including:
- Custom easing transitions for realistic dawn/dusk changes (no more sudden 4AM "flashlight" effect)
- Elevation-based microclimates and real-time simulation logic
🧵 Texture Reconstruction (Over 280,000 Files)TemperatureTarget,ClimateWaitMultiplier,WeatherGraph, and more
- Initial upscale to 8K to prep texture data for reconstruction
- AI-driven detail synthesis using a custom 150GB plugin on dedicated VFX hardware
- Temporary scaling to 128K, then baked back to 2× vanilla resolution
- Carefully preserved normals and surface data for stability and realism
- Every major in-game asset, including NPCs, animals, buildings, and foliage, was individually reworked
🛠️ Configuration File Overhaul
- Rebuilt from scratch, focusing on core performance parameters
- Adjusted rendering pools and memory flow — not just surface-level tweaks
- No unnecessary increases to dictionary pools (which harm memory efficiency)
- Enables better-than-vanilla performance even with the enhanced visuals under DX12
✨ Visual and Rendering Enhancements
- Reworked timecycle and lighting interpolation
- Disabled Variable Rate Shading for consistent full-resolution rendering across the screen
- Clean, stable visuals across biomes and time of day

❤️ Final Words from the CreatorThis has been a two-year passion project —built from the ground up, using my own hardware, AI tools, and an
unwavering love for this game.
If you enjoy the mod, please leave a kudos or endorsement to support future updates.
Thank you for giving it a chance — I hope you experience Red Dead Redemption 2 in a whole new light.
No offense - but given the very few screenshots that show the interiors or any close up textures - it doesn't look like there's any real difference. Sure the atmosphere and colour grading look nice, but Collyriums mod looks very similar and it 1/1000th the size.
Can anyone verify this really is the life-changing mod this poster makes it out to be? There are a few red flags like "texture-only archive, virus-free" & No reused or stolen content sounds a bit dubious.
U can tell constructive feedback made by ppl gets shutdown by hur durrr just read the comments dumdum, no one forcin u, etc. , replaced with no issue with the mod! looks amazin! this opened my crusty eyes!
kudos to the author tho, just sayin, the comment warriors think negative feedback should be attacked and just be ignored lul
the description reads that way bcuz MA isnt a native english speaker.
if it was a virus, i doubt it would be 30gb. wouldnt the point of a virus be TO GET people to install it??
im sry, im trying to be polite here but theres several comments already confirming this mods authenticity. NO ONE is forcing ANYONE to use or not use it. Is it worth using? How can anyone legit answer that when its down to personal taste? I think its worth trying out, especially if you want to use reshades which traditionally pitch fits w Vulkan.
I do believe it could probably be packaged better, and suggested so. nicely. people crying wolf and generally being ungrateful/entitled are quickly reducing the chances of that, tho.
also ^ CONSTRUCTIVE feedback? please. you need to use something to say something constructive about it. L2Word
Not being ungrateful - I'm being wary. And again, there's no comparison in textures between this mod and the vanilla, so I don't see any benefit so far in downloading almost 30Gb for potentially a slight tweak in visuals.
And if it was a virus, it would be VERY easy to hide in among 30Gb of files, and graphics mods are easily one of the most downloaded in these forums, so it wouldn't be hard to convince people to download it.
I'm not saying it is a virus, but with so many people having problems with this mod - it doesn't make me want to download it.
why am I going to download literal gigs for some meteorologist to tell me it ain't supposed to rain in the desert. Wat the actual doodlin Barbie's horse feces is goin on?
I think you should have put it in parts that are optional, so we can just download piece by piece. Not all of us scam like ygbro so we don't have premium to fast download this pile of PHD certified thesis paper trail from Snowdens third desk.
goddamn, and maybe you should've just waited until Sept instead of going for an espionage mission in the Bermuda Triangle right after releasing this one
Ты ведь шутишь? Это ведь сарказм? почти поверил :)
Если серьёзно не стоит заострять внимание на такого рода критики.Лучше просто игнорировать.
maybe read the comments and make your own Install.xml instead of looking like a karen. Maybe say thanks to the MA for taking their time creating as realistic of a mod as they can.
you should make a new account so people don't link this shameful s#*! back to you. its embarrassing.
You don't have to worry, the editors of Nexus manually checked the files for malware, the mod is clean. I myself am extremely wary of mods, and I try to be extremely careful, if you believe me, the mod is absolutely clean and without viruses. If you don't know what kind of mod this is and what it does, don't be lazy, scroll through the comments, some users have described in detail what the mod does.
even the description is a nightmare, it's so bloated and it contradicts.. like does it use other peoples work or not? it's not even straight forward with anything. I wanna know how it's considered crying for me to say it should have been in parts and the author just uploading then being mia for ppl to just do the work for him is an issue?? now, any updates or fixes has to wait until Sept? That means it wasn't even ready, and we can bandage fixes by deleting files but we must read thru comments by random ppl to figure which one? bruh get outta here

Am I putting "Dominator's DX12" in /RDR2/? or in /RDR2/lml/
Am I putting "Bin, Core, Models, install.xml" in /RDR2/? or in /RDR2/lml/?
Instructions are very not clear and I have no idea if the mod is even working.
all that gets dropped into "LML"
