Barriers are used in almost every open-world game.

This mod disables the invisible walls that run around the edges of the map, allowing players to explore regions that were previously unreachable.
While there isn't all that much to be found outside the confines of the map, there are some interesting things to take a look at. This mod is ideal for those who have seen all there is to see in the vanilla version of the game and want to go and explore uncharted territory.

Players can sit back and relax near the hot springs and soak up and enjoy the great visual effects. It is worth keeping in mind that this mod can cause frame rate drops on older PCs as the moving water does require a lot of space to move smoothly.
