Description
This is a collection of mods I am using to improve the over-all visual of Cities Skylines. I've included a brief description for each mod to explain how I am using it. Hopefully it can be of help to new players or anyone not too experienced with modding.

AD Cloud Replacer
Replaces the vanilla clouds with better looking clouds. The clouds I use are "8K AD Clouds Pack 01" (included in collection). Simply choose this cloudpack in AD Cloud Replacer's mod panel.

Dynamic Resolution
Makes the game render at a higher resolution than your monitor. Yes, it actually makes a huge difference! More crisp and clearer.

FPS Booster
Huge frame-rate improvements.

Relight
Offers the ability to color grade your game and change the awful yellow atmosphere. With this you can customize, or use pre-made 'LUTs', to make the colors in your game more realistic. People suggest unsubscribing this and using Render It for color-grading but the reality is, even when converting Relight settings to Render It, you don't get the same visual. I'm sticking to Relight for now :-)

Render It!
I'm only using this for its anti-aliasing and to disable vanilla cloud/fog. Everything else (all the color options) should be set to vanilla since I'm using Relight for color grading. Applying custom colors here will mess up Relight LUTS because Relight LUTs are created to work on top of vanilla coloring.

Theme Mixer 2.5
Have you played Minecraft? Well, themes in C:S are basically like Minecraft texture packs. They change the textures of things like grass, cliffs and sand. Theme Mixer 2.5 lets you select, or change, your theme at any time. It also lets you mix themes together; you could use the grass texture from one theme and cliffs from a different. There's also some extra goodies, such as changing exposure, changing water color and sky color. It's basically Minecraft texture packs on steroids!

Ultimate Level Of Detail (ULOD)
Games are optimised so that when you get far away from something, things disappear or lower in quality. This mod lets you change the threshhold for such behaviour.

SCT-HOMECOMING
Theme. Use it with Theme Mixer 2.5.

Laviante 2.1 (Temperate Theme)
Theme. Use it with Theme Mixer 2.5.

Reaper_Realistic_Final_Look
LUT. Use it with Relight.
