Lively World Expansion for NaturalVision Enhanced / Compatibility Update Download
Added 2025-05-17 18:38:11 +0000 UTCUpdate May 22nd, 2025
May 22nd Patch Note
Following feedback from testers and users regarding texture issues, we’ve released a patch for version V2.9 that restores the original default LOD (Level of Detail) values.
In the initial V2.9 update, LOD values were significantly increased, which led to both performance drops and texture rendering issues. This patch reverts those changes, which should:
Improve FPS performance
Fix texture loading problems for affected users
We understand that resources are currently limited, but we remain committed to providing the best experience possible. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
May 17th Patch Note
This is an update patch for our recent V2.9 Enhanced release, adding optional compatibility with the new NaturalVision Enhanced while keeping the Vanilla version still separately accessible.
This version will be reintroduced as a seamless part of the LWE Enhanced edition in upcoming updates.

Installation

How to Fix Texture Loss Issue?
We’ve concluded that the texture loss issue when using NVE and LWE is caused by the 'Open All Interiors' mod. It’s recommended to avoid using 'Open All Interiors' mod temporarily until we have more resources available for GTA 5 Enhanced.
How to Fix Shadow Flickering Issue?
Option 1: Reduce Extended Distance Scaling to 0
Option 2: Set Ray Tracing BVH to High and Disable Long Shadows in Graphics Settings
Option 3: If Issues Persist, Consider Disabling Ray Tracing Entirely
Note: As the Enhanced version of GTA 5 is still new and has limited or no modding resources available, tackling certain compatibility issues like shadow flickering is especially challenging. We are actively working on this and doing our best to find a long-term solution. Thank you for your patience and support!

2025-12-16 05:15:40 +0000 UTCWhat is the difference between low, medium and high? Is it the amount of props or is it the quality?

2025-05-31 08:20:31 +0000 UTCJust thought I'd update that they did in fact fix it. Re downloading patch 03 again and it now works.

2025-05-29 21:40:01 +0000 UTCI still feel the fps drops only in dense forest area (using high files). Also shadow flickering is an issue.

2025-05-29 10:06:45 +0000 UTCI am still crashing on startup. I have tried loading into story mode with NVE compatibility. It crashes without an error to desktop every time. I remove LWE and the game loads in with just NVE active and no other mods but NVE and scripthook and openRPF and it works perfectly. For testing purposes, I tried removing NVE and just installing LWE vanilla folder with no NVE compatibility files and same thing, crash to desktop loading into Story mode. Remove LWE again, works completely fine. I am using the LWE Enhanced V2.9 BETA Patch 03 (High).zip. Dragging files across to my GTA Enhanced directory as the instructions describe.

2025-05-28 16:44:24 +0000 UTCThank you for the honest feedback! The issue with the Mr. Phillips and Cletus missions has been fixed in Patch 03 of the latest release. We're already working to test all missions, but if you encounter any others with problems, do let us know. The FPS issue has also been resolved. The drops you mentioned should no longer occur. In the initial release, we had increased the LODs for visual purposes, which impacted performance. Updating to Patch 03 should fix this. Shadow flickering still remains a challenge, as there are limited resources and documentation available to help resolve it. However, we are actively working on it. We truly appreciate your insights and support and are always aiming to improve!

2025-05-28 13:05:11 +0000 UTCBeautiful mod! Makes the game feel like an actual next gen remaster especially with NVE. But it does have some issues worth addressing: -shadow flickering still exists even with all 3 options done -in some cutscenes, characters would walk into rocks, trees, and stuff that weren't originally there and it kinda looks goofy (example: the scene where Trevor kills Johnny) -completing some missions can be a pain and even impossible with all the props in the way. like when i was doing that sniper side mission with Cletus, I couldnt even see shit because of trees in the way that weren't originally there so i had to purposely fail the mission 3 times to skip and proceed -fps isnt very consistent. my fps usually hovers around 80-120 in cities and open fields but in heavy forests it gets as low as 30-40. I play in 1440p but other than that, visually stunning mod and a great combo with NVE
