A bright, vibrant reshade preset created for The Sims 4. I started working on this about a month ago when I was looking for preset that could work in multiple lighting situations. It is just what I have been wanting and hope you all will enjoy it too!


Preset created with Reshade 4.9 | Compatible with Reshade 4.xx
To install the preset, place the .ini file into your presets folder located here :: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin
Once installed and you have your game open, you will notice in the Reshade UI that I have key bindings for each shader used already selected. You may change them to whatever works for you.
First thing to note, when you first turn on the preset, it will look blurry because DOF is enabled. Go ahead and press the “/” key in the numpad section of your keyboard.
The “/” key enables Curves, qUINT DOF, and the Prod80 Filmic Tonemap. I turn this on only when I am taking screenshots.
The “Numpad 6” key will enabled qUINT Bloom and LiftGammaGain, which lightens the image. You can turn this off if you like deeper colors or it is too bright.
There are other shaders that I grouped together to use the same key to enable/disable. I encourage you to go through turning them on and off how I have them, so that you can see the effect they give.
**These are not required for the preset to work, but it will change the resulting effect if these are not installed.
To help with installation, see Mellindi’s Reshade installation tutorial.

For more images with this preset, I made a post here and any of my screenshots since April on my blog are using it also.
As always, if you have any issues with this preset, please let me know by sending a message here or on my Tumblr and I will help.

This is my personal reshade preset that I have been using and tweaking for some time now. I wanted a film-inspired look that wouldn’t wash out my beautiful brown sims.
This preset was created with Reshade 4.1.0 (available here). Each of the shaders I use by default are turned on. Some shaders I only turn on when I am ready to use, and those have hot keys assigned. I do use this preset for my gameplay and don’t have any issues with it and my PC setup. Everyone may not be able to leave it on at all times. I tried to make it as lightweight as possible.
