Description
MaxedV Enhanced is a native, performance-focused graphics overhaul for GTA V: Enhanced Edition.
It enhances the game’s visuals with timecycle/weather tweaks, white streetlight emissions,
balanced sky & fog behavior, and sharper distant lighting — all WITHOUT ENB or Reshade.
My goal with MaxedV is to push GTA V’s graphics to look cleaner, more realistic, and immersive
while staying lightweight and performance-friendly.

- Updated visualsettings.dat for balanced post-processing & exposure
- Overhauled weather.xml for refined sky & fog response
- LodLights.rpf tweaks for sharper distant city lighting
- vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt adjustments for more realistic fog volumes
