The following people have my permission to use the assets in Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer II. No restrictions implied.
30/10/2018 v2 Released
Update to (Main) versions only.
Resolved a conflict in the AIO Recommended versions.
* I am recommending that everyone use the "ESL" versions of the mod, only the script files in the "Interior Fog Remover" are compacted.
What does this mean to you? It means this mod will work like a regular ESP, you can sort it in your load order, edit it to resolve conflicts, but it will not use a plugin slot...you get the best of both worlds!
8/10/2019 Minor Update Added
I have uploaded my No More Dirty Footsteps v2 mods to use as an update for the Footsteps option inside the Extras section of the installers. This update adds FootFXWaterSmall.nif and FootFxWaterMed.nif as well as the option to remove the dirt clouds from large creature footsteps. This mod now contains options to override all Meshes/Footsteps in the game.
Version 1.0
4/9/2018
Version 1.0 Released to Public
30/10/2018
* Added ESL formated options with .esp extension. The files in these versions can be sorted by load order, but do not count against the 255 plugin limit.
Thank You to Jonathan Ostrus aka BigandFlabby for explaining the proper way to convert my mods to use the ESL format.
Thanks to the xEdit guys as well!!
Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer II Fog Remover II
Improves the games appearance and performance by removing Interior Fog, Mist, Steam, Dust, Smoke, and Airborne Leaves and Debris.
Fog Remover II is the successor to my original Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer. Fog Remover II truly lives up it's name as both a "Fog Remover" and a "Performance Enhancer" with the introduction of the new Interior Fog Remover, a new mesh file that is only 226 bytes (53.35x's smaller than what is used in the original Fog Remover) and a new build method that will further improve performance for most users.
Details: Fog Remover II works by overriding performance reducing Mist, Steam, Dust, Smoke and Airborne Debris with blank mesh files. New Interior Fog Remover option / standalone mod. All options are now ESL flagged.esp's * See the Comments Section for FAQ and further details.
Interior Fog Remover Details: Removes the fog from every interior cell in the game. Included in the Fog Remover II (Main) builds and available as a standalone mod. * This mod makes some cell "lighting" edits, see Comments Section for details.
Clarification: * This mod does not remove "exterior fog". Exterior fog is created & controlled by the weather and can only be removed by editing the weather files or temporarily removed via console command: (setfog 1 999999 or setfog 1 163840 same results)
Compatiblity & DLC: Compatible with weather mods, no known conflicts with any weather mod. The (Main) versions of this mod include the Interior Fog Remover, they require Automatron, FarHarbor and NukaWorld DLC and may have cell conflicts with some location mods. See the Comments Section for a complete list of the cells edited by this mod, see the "How to guides" for instructions on how to resolve most conflicts. The (BA2) versions do not contain the Interior Fog Remover. These versions have no known conflicts and do not require any DLC.
This mod does not: Edit any weather files. Disable or Delete any files. Effect Previs / Precombines. Use a plugin slot for any option.

Load Order Tip / Easy Conflict Resolution: Load toward the top of your Load Order, above any location, settlement or overhaul mods. Allow any mod that changes cell data to win any conflicts with Fog Remover II or the Interior Fog Remover standalone mod. The worst thing that could happen is some interior fog returns. * Fully resolving conflicts with Fog Remover II is very easy to do, see the "How to Guides" for details.
