I have to thank you again GG! I love it so hard that you made the fog removal a feature in your mod. It makes my heart swell every time I think about it. Youâre good people, GG! Sending you ALL of my virtual hugs!

That wasnât a big deal, but Iâm glad I could help! 
I take it this is only possible if you using GrimCam ?? Or can it be used without that mod as well ?? Asking since canât seem to find a settings.txt but might be looking at the wrong place ??
Yeah, that is only when using the Grim Cam mod.
Alright, thought so. To bad since it does look much better without the fog. Ahh well, maybe next character ! 
Thanks for confirming it though ! 
It isnât a âmodâ like DoM, RoT, and the like. No need to wait to start a new character. You just download it and drop it into the GD install folder and away you go.
If you use Grim Internals (Which is an amazing Quality of Life improvement that you should be using) GG included the fog removal in that mod. I honestly will never go back to regular fog. You donât need to use the Grim Cam mod to have the fog removed. Honestly, Grim Cam has not been updated in a really long time so you should probably not be using it. Grim internals is updated after every patch so it doenât cause any problems.
Ahh ok, so GrimCam is not a mod, thanks for that correction. 
But Grim Internals is a mod and should be used on a new character, right ?? 
Nope. GrimInternals and GrimCam can more be considered âtoolsâ. They are 3rd party - they operate from outside the game and tend to not need nor require ânewâ characters or Custom games. Tools can be found in this section of the forum: https://forums.crateentertainment.com/c/grimdawn/utilities-and-resources
Tools/utilities tend to lean toward what some might call the more âhacky/cheatyâ side of things - tho this isnât necessarily always true. Stuff like game-related file manipulation and various QoL functions are what you will find with tools.
Actual mods operate inside the game and are made with the same tools with which the devs made Grim Dawn - you are intended to create a Custom game/characters etc. There are some slight exceptions here that can blur the line on that (some of GrimUI, for instance). Mods can be found in this section of the forum: https://forums.crateentertainment.com/c/grimdawn/modding-projects
Mods are stuff like new content, masteries, overhauls of mechanics etc. In effect, anything that you need to use a Custom game to access the material - is a mod.
Understanding the differences between tools and mods in GD is key.
The only way that GrimCam works in any fashion in GD anymore IS if you are also using GrimInternals. In effect GlockenGerda has become custodian, in a sense, of GrimCam - enabling it to continue being useful. As far as I can see it still works just fine as long as you are using GrimInternals.

Thank you @powbam , for that detailed explanation ! Very much appreciated !
And yes, I have Grim UI: X-mod which is a mod, and unfortunately is making it impossible to use grimtoolâs build calculator Iâve noticed. But, guess there has to be some draw backs when using mods, even if itâs just to alter the inventory space. Although, had to use GDStash as well, since it was in the middle of my playthrough and didnât want to start with a new character. But I am guessing even if I were using just the Grim UI: X-mod, I still wouldnât be able to use the grimtool build calculator since the profile would be in a user save folder and not main save folder.

Any characters you make in âCustomâ are automatically flagged as mod characters and GrimTools does not read characters that are flagged as mod characters. This is primarily because most mods feature original masteries and gear and whatnot and Dammitt made GrimTools to only focus on âvanillaâ content.
GDStash has a toggle in the character editing section that allows you to toggle the âmodâ flag of modded characters on or off. With a Grim UI: X-mod character you technically could safely toggle this flag OFF and then load the character into GrimTools (because GrimUI doesnât change anything mastery or skill related, it only makes UI changes), then when you want to play the character again just toggle the flag back ON.
Note: I would advise that you have the game completely shutdown when toggling and saving the character if you decide to do this.

Thank you again ! That does make things a bit easier if wanting to ask advice about the build. And yes, wont be doing it while running the game.
Once again, thank you for your advice, you are a legend !
