You get better light scattering effects, improved shadows and ambient occlusion on vehicles, and an overall better draw distance. There are lots of changes, both big and small. GTA V Realism makes some neat changes to the visual fidelity side of things. It’s something very subconscious that makes your brain go, oh that looks incredibly real. Taking in the beauty of Los Santos and the surrounding regions, you really get a feel for its realism.
But you’d be surprised how much of a difference they make side by side.Ĭhanges in lighting and draw distance along with the richer colors are the most notable additions to the mod. The creator of the mod referenced thousands of pictures of Los Angeles to make for modifications. There’s something very charming about Visual V. Something that you see in documentaries with deeper parts of the sea getting substantially darker.Īll in all, if you love heading to the sea and going for a boat ride, this mod is the bee’s knees. Diving underwater, you’ll notice a sense of realism. Sewage water is murky as you would expect. Pool water moves around just as it does in real life, with water jets going to work. 2K Water improves the overall water simulation in GTA. This mod is for those finishing touches after you’re done adding tons of other mods.
