Experience the vivid skies of the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside, and beaches in VisualVanilla: An alternate take to the great VisualV that aims to stay faithful to Rockstar Games' vision of "that thing, that magic" for the world of Grand Theft Auto V.
DISCLAIMER: The screenshots provided were taken during the mod's development phase, so things may or may not look different in-game (in a good way, of course!).
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I always dreamed for a graphics mod that subtly improves graphics without altering Rockstar Games' idea of how the game's setting will feel like for the players. VisualV and Old Gen Visual were my go-to mods, but almost always, I alternate between them and Vanilla GTA V every time I play or mod the game because something always felt lacking. After a few years of waiting for the perfect graphics mod to suite my eyes, I finally took matters into my own hands. If you're like me, who believes in subtlety in order to make this already-beautiful game bearable to look at and play for its age, then I hope VisualVanilla doesn't disappoint.

What's that whole vehicle glass shader stuff? Aside from proper saturation of emergency lights. The example (in the preview pics with police buffalo) I see different and more saturated colors of the siren glass if you go with vanilla option but is there something else where the option of the core version is better/different then the vanilla one? "Fixed amount of glass reflections for all vehicles." What does this do exactly? Is there a way to see how these compare in other examples aside from the pd buffalo?

This is the best visual mod on the site. It's how I remember GTA looking back when I played it in 2015. It looks next gen now especially with the packaged ENB. Looks really good in cutscenes too, way better than VisualV

@Stryfaar First of all, thanks for this mod, it looks really impressive! I never played GTA 5 until the end, just the first 30 minutes of the game. And this year I want to go all the way and have the best experience I can, but keeping the Vanilla vibe, just improving textures, forest, vegetation, car models, etc... Could you recommend me some complementary mod for this? Like, denser forests, better vegetation and compatible with your mod?

It has some awesome effects that now i really missed on my vanilla gameplay, but in general it has worst definition than vanilla too, a jaggier one. I don't know if it is the lighting and how it mix with LOD or what, but antialiasing works worse than in vanilla version; furthermore, if you use the core mod version of glass reflection shader. I didn't saw any raining either with the mod. That was strange, cause I tried the mod a couple of years ago and rained during gameplay (I remembered better performance too, but I didn't tested so well at night)
You must have a really high-end machine to seize what the mod offers and have better results than playing with vanilla with higher settings on 2.5k+ (current configuration: ryzen 5700x, rx 6700xt, 32 gb ddr4 3200 mhz, SSD). This is something that has in common with many graphic mods that seems working on good performance but test it in high dense vegetation areas or at night time, the FPS drops a lot). At same configuration, vanilla shows better image quality (less jaggies), cool effects and performance. Does not matter the configuration settings (More or less MSAA, downgraiding quality effects, etc).
@paulotraba if you want to play a vanilla version with better graphics, maybe tried just better road and weapons quality add-on from NVE and any ymap mods. Adding map modifications like Forest of San Andreas are FPS demanding and worth it the performance cost more than graphic effects improvements.
My current setting that works perfectly on vanilla is: FXAA On, MSAA 2X, MSAA reflections 4x, everything high except very high shader quality and ultra postFX, Long Shadows, high resolution shadows and on air detail On.

The problem of the mod is the huge difference on fps depending on situation (the game too), it is very hard to remain a balance FPS configuration. With the mod you could be easily at 80-90 fps on daylight road and dropping to 41 fps at night or dense vegetation. Without moddig the game you achieve higher settings than modded, dropping no more than 55 fps with better image quality and good-looking effects. The cost for achieving the same quality image than vanilla on high resolution screens it is too much for mid-high pc configurations.

VisualVanilla has updated to the latest game version! The Changelog and Version History are in the description.
Okay. I have happy and sad news to share (IMPORTANT)...
Let's start with the sad news: This is VisualVanilla's Final update. In short, VisualVanilla is discontinued. Any potential updates from now on will only be for adding support to the latest game version. There will no longer be any significant changes or additions to it.
Before you ask, "Why?" let's move on to the happy news first! VisualVanilla has reached the peak of where VisualV's improvements can take it. It's a completed mod now. It has added plenty of options, such as godrays for moon and lightning, restored vanilla bloom, and color fixes. It modifies plenty more, using VisualV as a base while, at the same time, keeping the vibe that Rockstar has envisioned for the game. You can think of it as VisualV with a hint of Rockstar Games and a pinch of new tricks.
All that said, any further changes will mean taking its namesake away. I wouldn't want to continue changing it if it meant diverging away from VisualV's style. After all, it's named VisualVanilla as a homage to the stunning VisualV by _CP_ and robi29.
Where does this take us? What's the future of the mod? I'm proud to announce that I'm working on StryVision, VisualVanilla's spiritual successor! Naturally, it uses VisualVanilla as a foundation. It will follow the same design philosophy I have set with VisualVanilla—creating a graphics mod that respects R*'s art direction for the game. However, instead of following VisualV's aesthetic, it will entirely be my approach based on the knowledge I gained while working on VisualVanilla. This new approach will touch on lighting, colors, shadows, configurations, and more. Of course, this will take some time to complete, but I promise it will be worth your while! Including the time spent on this final update, I've spent about 900 hours on StryVision as of this writing.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I am grateful for supporting VisualVanilla over the past couple of years. It has been a wild ride. Thank you to everyone involved in this mod's development, especially Alex106, CP, and robi29. I have learned so much and am ready to level up that acquired knowledge. 😊
I wish you all a Merry & Happy Christmas with VisualVanilla! 🎅 See you next year with StryVision. 😉
-------------------------
TL;DR
VisualVanilla is Discontinued. StryVision will succeed within the following year.
