About this mod
RBGW replaces the game's whole look and weather in one package: reworked HDR lighting, realistic sun and cloud shadows, several levels of fog and lightning, more than ten rain intensities from drizzle to downpour, and road reflections that change with the weather. It also adds modern LED headlight beams and new water for seas, rivers and lakes.
It's a big download (about 7 GB) but is designed to run on PCs that meet the game's minimum requirements. The author publishes new versions first on brutaluniverse.com and the SCS forum. The Steam version can lag behind by a few days. There's also a separate Winter Snow edition and a ReShade preset.
Features
- Reworked HDR lighting, sun, sun rays and cloud shadows
- Fog, mist and haze with several intensity levels
- Over 10 rain intensities and more than 40 thunder sounds
- Realistic LED headlights with up to 280 m reach
- New water and road-wetness reflections
- Works with most map mods and with Convoy
