NaturalVision Evolved – FiveM Install Guide

Go back to download page

Introduction

NaturalVision Evolved (NVE) is a work-in-progress visual overhaul mod that is currently in the early access stage. Numerous changes were made to the environmental weathers, lighting system, ambient colors, tonemapping, world textures, building models, props, vegetation and much more in order to blur the line between fantasy and reality.

The goal was to try and make GTAV look visually similar to Southern California in real life. In order to achieve this, research on the Los Angeles (Los Santos) and Salton Sea (Sandy Shores) regions was conducted using hundreds of photos and hours upon hours of video footage. All of this was necessary in an attempt to produce the most realistic visual experience currently possible with GTAV’s limited game engine.

 
 

There are plenty of optional add-ons included with NVE, such as a roads overhaul pack, custom vehicles, motion blur enhancer, LSPDFR related enhancements, seasonal content packs and much more. This gives users the ability to customize the game to their liking.

Please make sure to check everything out so that you can enjoy NVE as much as possible.

Description

This package will let you use NVE on FiveM and enhance your multiplayer experience.

Please make sure your FiveM “mods” folder does not contain any other graphical mods.

Delete any old graphical mods from FiveM before proceeding with this install.

Display Brightness Tips

It is very important for you to set the correct brightness level. Otherwise you won't see certain details properly.

Try to keep your GTAV display brightness at 50% for the best possible experience.

You can copy my settings below. Keep in mind they're based on my own monitor's brightness settings.

To get the best possible results, I suggest reading this guide and calibrating your monitor's display settings. 

Alternatively, you can take all the tests on the top of

this page

 and calibrate your monitor as you go along.
