✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple toggle feature—press Numpad 1 to switch DoF and AO on the fly, no menu diving.
- Decent community traction with 66 endorsements and over 1,300 downloads.
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't overhaul everything, just adds two key effects.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—likely outdated and may not work with current Skyrim SE versions or ReShade updates.
- No detailed installation instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Requires ReShade to be installed separately, but the mod page doesn't explain how to set it up.
For Skyrim SE players who want a quick cinematic boost with depth of field and ambient occlusion, and who don't mind tweaking ReShade settings manually. Skip if you're looking for a modern, actively maintained visual overhaul—this mod is from 2017 and may need extra work to run.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ReShade installed first, as this mod is a preset that relies on it.
- Test the toggle in-game by pressing Numpad 1—if it doesn't work, check that your ReShade version is compatible with the preset.
- Since the mod is old, consider using a newer ReShade version and manually adjust the preset if needed.
