Inb4 'Why the hell would you wanna play like this?'
Basically, I had a side character a while back on a roleplay server that people on my server enjoyed me playing and they got attached to her; She was a visually impaired character, but I the player could see everything on my screen so it was sometimes difficult to block out that information that I was seeing but she couldn’t.
On my new server I was in a chat with some of my members and I came up with the idea of actually impairing my visibility so I could play a character like that with a little more ease; so this is what I came up with. It’s a very simple little script; anyone could really make it, but it might inspire some people. It challenges navigation skills and you’ll find yourself listening to your surroundings more.
Visual impairment is a scale, not all visually impaired people see everything as completely blacked out. But if that is the experience you want just switch out the timecycle modifier for a blacked out modifier. A lot of the times visually impaired people can make out contrast differences which is why I chose this modifier in particular.
Use:
Drop resource into your resources directory
Add ‘start brp_blind’ to your server.cfg
Restart server
Commands:
/blindmodeon
/blindmodeoff
self explanatory, really. Note that ‘blindmodeoff’ can clear all timecycle modifiers from the player, including drunk/high modifiers you may have running. The script can (and likely will) be edited in future with a check to see if blind mode was toggled on before allowing it to be toggled off.

Currently it is setup as an ESX resource but it’d be a quick fix to change that; I just tossed this together based on another script I’d written so I didn’t edit out the ESX bits yet.
