Realseason V1.0

The mod below changes the default season in FS22 to a new improved one. Below are the changes that were made to the mod. ATTENTION! PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOD

RealSeason 1.0.0.0
– Improved lighting by adding HDR effect. Image dynamics were increased and shadows were made more visible by changing the tonal range of the image. As a result, the colors are more pleasant and the shadows more expressive.
- Adjusted image contrast, FS22's default lighting has a very strong improved image contrast, making the whole game very "sweet"
– Introduced darker nights and more spectacular sunrises and sunsets
– Added a default “distant fog” glow that makes the image more prominent and subdued
– Added new shaders for trees that made it possible to darken tree textures especially in the spring season and change their color to less red during the fall season
– Changed the texture of the lime spread in the fields to a darker one that suits the lighting better
– Adapted the weather conditions to the overall climate of Poland. Now during the winter, the temperatures are lower and there is a greater chance of snowfall and thus its longer maintenance throughout the winter. The distribution of temperatures for other seasons has also changed. In the spring, there are morning fogs and little rainfall, during the summer there is uncertainty about the harvest due to more storms and precipitation (depending on the Polish climate, it can be a really difficult year to harvest anything from the field).
In autumn, there are both morning fogs and evening fogs, as well as frost. Winter means lower temperatures than in the regular season and a greater chance of snowfall.
– Fixed latitude data affecting sunrise and sunset times in different months and seasons. Now in June the sun rises around 5am and sets after 9.30pm. In winter, the sun rises at 8 am and sets at 3 pm.

Installation process
– Unpack the RealSeason[UNPACK].zip archive
– Run the installation file install_RealSeason.bat
– The installer will ask you to enter the drive letter on which Farming Simultor 22 was installed. It can be lowercase or uppercase.
– The installer will find the Farming Simultor 22 installation path by itself. You will be asked why you need to enter a drive letter - this is for optimization reasons
– If everything goes well, and we hope it does, the installer will show a message that the RealSeason mod has been installed correctly. You can then close the installer window and start Farming Simultor 22
– Now the important step … DO NOT FORGET TO TICK THE REALSeason MOD IN THE LIST OF INSTALLED MODS !!!
– Play and enjoy the enhanced season for FS22

Game save security
Many people probably wonder if installing this mod will cause the loss or damage of the given save. The answer is no, you have nothing to worry about. The mod does not interfere with any saves.

Does the mod modify the game files?
This is how the mod edits the game files, due to the limitations of the LUA language, an installation script had to be created. Even that has its limitations. When you use Steam and the Farming Simulator 22 update comes out, some files may change.
ATTENTION! SO IMPORTANT IF YOU STILL WANT TO USE THE MOD AFTER FARMING UPDATE, RUN THE INSTALLER AGAIN AND CHOOSE THE REPAIR OPTION.
In this case, the mod will reinstall itself.

Uninstalling the mod using the UNINSTALL option restores the previous state of the game files.
Yes, the RealSeason installer script makes copies of the files it modifies and restores the original files if the mod is uninstalled.
