The idea

Hi,

Please implement this render distance mod :
https://gamebanana.com/mods/737682

Let us tweak LOD quality render distance, foliage render distance, grass density, contact shadows, etc.

It can help low end PC, get handheld render distance while keeping docked render resolution or the other way around.
And it also let us go above what the base game can do, having better quality more like a real PC game.

Anything else

Also, you could look at how this mod adds new settings in the game UI and maybe do the same thing instead of using your F1 menu.
But that may make saves not transferrable (I think the saves themselves would be ok, just the system settings file would not)

I know, just this should be built in...
Plus not sure this even works

Thanks for the idea. Feature requests are now collected in #1007, which lists this one with a link back here, so closing it in favour of that list (this is not a decision against the idea).
