Undercover Visual Enhancement Mod







NFS: Undercover Visual Enhancement Mod




After working on two graphic modifications for Undercover in the past, I've decided to finish what I've started. I present to you, Undercover Visual Enhancement Mod; This mod rebuilds the entire visuals of Undercover, draw distance is improved and properly masked, bloom now perfectly blends with the environment and with a total of 10 custom skyboxes in 8K and 4K resolutions that are restored directly into the game files, I was able to give each zone of the map a unique and vibrant look just to name a few of the features. Removed content such as NOS Glow is also restored.

It looks cool, but crashes the game randomly.
