I refuse to die | A Reshade Preset (In-game + CAS Versions) (Patreon)

Don't mind the preset name haha. I'm a bit down and emotional due to my current health conditions... However, i'm here with an amazing reshade preset! I hope you guys like it as much as i do!

Please note that this is not "how to install reshade" post. For that, there are TONS of easy tutorials on youtube ♥

⭕ What's this reshade preset for?

>> This preset aims to give a lot more cinematic feeling to photoshots, get rid of the washed colors, making them brighter and more vibrant. Works pretty well with skin overlays. Can be less satisfying with some alpha skins but still works fine, depending on the skin color intensity. <<

What do you need for this to work?

⭕ Sunblind by Softerhaze
⭕ Reshade ver. 4.9.1
⭕ Reshade 4.9.1 shaders & textures + Shown shaders & textures below (see image below)
⭕ Better ingame lighting mod by Northernsiberiawinds (Dark base dark room ver. / if you have any other lighting mod, you need to delete them-such as luumia's noblu noglo etc. because northernsiberiawinds' lighting mod is not compatible with other lighting mods)

Note: As long as you have the SAME shaders and textures, it should work fine with GShade as well.

Adof: For background blur. You can increase or decrease the intensity depending on the background blur amount you want to have. Don't forget to turn it off during gameplay. Turn it on only while taking screenshots, or if you don't want, you don't have to turn it on for photoshots. Up to you :)

Vignette: For more cinematic feeling. It gives shadows on the edges.

Amoebae's Drift MultiLUT: You need to download this from their page. (download the preset > reshade-shaders > shaders > amoebae drift multilut / reshade-shaders > textures > amoebae drift multilut.png) You need both shader and texture.

This preset also comes with a CAS version. It's really sweet and light! Doesn't cause lag in CAS.

NOTE: If you have issues with MXAO (Shadows): MXAO can be problematic if your settings are not set properly. If the MXAO shadows causing extreme darkness on the world/objects/sims, it means your mxao settings are causing a problem. For this issue, there's a 3 click solution. You need to do this just 1 time and you'll be good. First, you'll see a shader list on the window above when you open reshade menu (ingame). And then, you'll see the second window right below the shader list. You'll see a bar named "Global Preprocessor Settings". Click to it. Second, after you click to that bar, find the "reshade_depth_input_is_reversed" line. Third, if it's 1, delete 1 and type 0 and then, hit enter and click to "reload" button at the very bottom of the Reshade menu. All done! If it's already 0, it probably means you might've installed reshade or it's textures/shaders wrong. You may want to re-install it.
