More satisfying graphic setting

Ok i adjusted things for over an hour and this is what im sticking with…
its softer less white wash, fog effect diminished, shadows are there but not black holes. I struggled to get the artifact/sand/glitter out of the grassy areas. I noticed having the ignore film grain helped with this, but the worse culprit was actually the ig graphic setting “image quality”. Above med for me the particle artifacts were bad.

In the pic i use alt f3 to pull up the overlay ig so i didnt have to restart the game to see the effect change, and i could swap back and forth to immediately see the differences. But with it open u can see the values i have for the pics attached.! Biggest things u will notice is the shadow in the trees tward the top, and the hazy white in the middle left… click the pick and hit the scroll left and right

Units are clearer but its more noticeable irl

O and not having the buildings white washed was difficult also…
