NaturalVision Enhanced - Next-Gen Graphics Update

Hi everyone, we've just released a major update for NaturalVision Enhanced. Check out the video on YouTube. You can download this update by heading over to https://www.patreon.com/posts/37165330

This video alone cannot possibly show you all the features we added, so you'll have to try it out for yourself.

Myself and the team have all worked super hard in bringing you these new features and hope you enjoy playing through story mode again. We have a lot of ideas to continue improving this project - so stay tuned for more in the coming months.

Additionally we will begin working on backporting some of these features to NVE in GTAV Legacy. I'll let you know when we have more information on that.

Thanks again for your support!
