UPDATE - Fixed underwater brightness issue.
So, what files did I edit?
* I dived into visualsettings.dat and tinkered with a few things. Notably I increased rain particles and the minimum size for ripple effect as well as increased the range that DoF takes effect, reducing it's medium and lower values. There is no tampering with Clouds, Tonemap or anything else too specific
* I edited all 4 timecycle files. I focused on a few things. Extending farclip, removing fog, disabling noise & chromatic aberration for all scenes & locations in the game
* I removed all fog, noise and chromatic aberration values in most weather files.
