SKI'S Realistic NightCycle 1.0 1.0

(3 reviews)

5 Screenshots

This is not an ENB nor any kind of graphics mod. it is purely just a time cycle file that is it. (yes i know technically it is a mod, because i modified an original file) but its only a time cycle file that is it. This was the Original time cycle file that came with GTA IV, and after installing patch 1.0.7.0.

I made this because i do not like using any graphics mods, I like the original look, just hated how bright it was outside at night.. i find it way more realistic to have to use a flashlight/high beams/spotlight, while on night patrol [iN DARK AREAS].

I get no drop in FPS/ nor any texture loss, like most time cycles i download. they always seem to do a little more than just make the night cycle darker, and more realistic, which for me, screws up everything.

If you are a GTAIV / LCPD:FR player who does NOT use any GRAPHIC ENHANCER MODS and wish to have a more realistic nightcycle this is for sure what your looking for!

-NEW IN 1.0

-NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED BY NIGHT CYCLE.

-CONTRAST IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE AND HAS NO EFFECT ON NIGHT CYCLE.

-ELS FRIENDLY IN ALL WEATHERS.

-RAIN, DRIZZLE, AND LIGHTNING ALL LOOK THE SAME DURING DAY TIME.

-NEW DARKER "FOGGY" DAYS. [CALM BEFORE THE STORM LOOK]

-UNDER LIGHTS OR ON THE ROADS ARE, NICE BRIGHT, VIBRANT LOOKING, THE FURTHER YOU DRIVE AWAY FROM ANY LIGHTS, THE DARKER THE ENVIRONMENT GETS. [ON BEACH OR DOWN DARK ALLEYS]

Hope Other LCPDFR players can enjoy this as much as i do. Please do not Upload this file anywhere else. This is a LCPDFR exclusive. Thanks!

Wow! Really nice! I've been looking for something like this for a while! Really good.... You should try making one for the daytime too.

Quick question, does this affect daytime settings at all? For example, does turning down the contrast all the way affect daytime game performance and appearance?

i don't see any difference within the day cycle, maybe its not as bright as it would be normally, but def does not look dark.
