Enhanced Realism and Clarity

Technical Considerations
It’s important to note that this mod leverages advanced DirectX 11.1 features for its HDR skyboxes. Therefore, it is recommended to run Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic in Windows 10 mode via the launcher, as Windows 7 mode may not display these elements correctly. Ensure your GPU supports DirectX Feature Level 11_1 for optimal performance and to avoid visual anomalies like black skies.
This overhaul is a fantastic way to refresh your gameplay, making every vista and every construction project a more visually rewarding experience. Dive into a revitalized Soviet Republic!
