OverGround (NFSU2 Time Cycle mod)

---

You have probably seen previously existing "garbage" daytime mods for U2, like "The Other Side", <some reshade presets guy>'s daytime mods, etc. They all have 1 common issue, and it's that they are unable to toggle streetlights off. Unlike these mods, OverGround doesn't have that issue.

Installation:
1. Install NFSU2 Shader Loader By Archie
2. Install NFSUG2 Shader materials pack By DpaKc (UG2 PS2 Demo option, optional but recommended)
3. Drop "scripts", "shaders", "TRACKS" folder from this mod to your game folder
4. Run the game, disable Enhanced Contrast and OverBright in the video settings
5. Enjoy.

Features:
Fully working 24 hour time cycle (By default whole timecycle takes 24 minutes irl)
Time control ("<" and ">" keys to adjust current time, "/" to freeze time)
Separate FE (garage) Preset
Headlights and Streetlights are getting toggled
Adjustable brightness

Screenshots







Note: This mod is NOT compatible with Archie's custom shaders.

Q&A
Q: Does this mod have dynamic shadows?
A: No, it doesn't.

Being totally honest, this mod looks very, but very weird at daylight lol it's not bad at all but kinda looks worse then NFS undercover from PS2. Anyway i now is a 21 years old game but hey the night mode of this mode looks better than the original game, suits quite well with Carbon shader materials mod tho
