I started this project very long time ago, (more than a year) but I not really playing this game very frequently.
Because of that I several times left my enhancement work alone.
Finally, I finished it.
I already posted one example, it was at March 28 2020, in this post, tho' that is about RPG-ish portraits, not the backgrounds.
Take a look, if you are interested.

(The origial backgrounds are on the left side, the enhanced ones are on the right.)
Motto: "The snow is not blue. Period."
Most of the work I done are just some change in colour-tone, sharpening, and such.
There are some pictures that just doesn't seems to look good, but after enhacing them they look much better:
And there were a few, that because of the low resolution and the very strong lossy compression, they just looks very bad.
But it still can be fixed, you don't need ultra-high-HD resolution, to have a good guality photo. ( 8K my a.. ;D )
Here, take a look at one of those photos:
Most of the background images are copyrighted so they can not be modded.
Sadly, most of the backgrouds will be the original, there are 46 backrounds in this mod.
Enjoy the colorful scenery (all that 46 pieces) by downloading the the ZIP from the link, and extracting it over the original backgrounds.
