📋 About This Mod
A ReShade preset aiming to improve the Vanilla color grading with rich, vibrant colors. Subtle and performance friendly.
Introduction:
After having tried various ReShade presets, I found myself always looking for the next. None ever quite looking the way I want. After countless hours building upon a couple of presets I enjoyed, I added different effects and heavily altered the color grading to look closer to the Vanilla experience.
Intended for use across the game as a whole. Not just in Photo Mode.

Manual Install Only. Yes, I know fellow Vortex users.Vortex risks duplicate effects and improper uninstallation if you ever download more presets.
Recommend using the lifepaths menu when creating a new character to quick test out the preset to ensure it's installed correctly.

Detailed Install guide for first time users further below!
Vanilla Enhanced aims to provide:
1. Richer, more vibrant colors - Default colors are dull, green, and very washed out. Turning up Gamma can help... but then dark areas become pitch black.
2. Day and Night balance - Bright environments are preserved and dark environments heavily improved upon. Rest assured you will see at night.
NOTE - Badlands with bloom is a tad too bright during the day. Either ignore this or turn off bloom.
3. Improved UI Experience - Heavily overlooked aspect in ReShade presets, unsurprisingly. What looks great in game will often look terrible on UI elements. No way around this other than to build the preset with this factor in mind. Rest easy knowing your UI will (in most cases) look even BETTER.
4. Crisper Resolution - Some sharpening to provide soft and crisp edges to both in game elements and UI elements.
NOTE - DLSS makes resolution a bit blurry. This fixes that, but if not needed, turn off.
5. Bright Lights - Small amount of bloom gives a soft glow to bright colors. Especially on a bright sky, colorful clothing, and neon lights.
6. LUT Compatibility - Built upon NOVA LUT 3. 0, but not needed (heavily recommend).
7. Performance Friendl
