Trouble Shooting
Make sure you don't have any overlays running, such as origin in-game or fraps.
Make sure you have the correct reshade version (3. 4. 0)
Rename the file "dxgi.dll" to "d3dll.dll" (I have to do this myself for reshades to work)
Extra Information:
There is no Depth of field because I abhor blurry things, including distances and menus.

If you want to edit this feel free just ask before you upload it (I'll say yes I just want to know first)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 53 endorsements and 653 downloads—decent for a niche preset
- Simple goal: makes Skyrim's colors and details pop without overhauling the whole game
- No extra gameplay changes—pure visual tweak for those who want a fresh look
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—likely outdated for current Skyrim versions and ReShade releases
- Only 53 endorsements—not a widely used preset, so expect to tweak settings yourself
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual boost using ReShade and don't mind manual setup. If you're new to ReShade or expect plug-and-play, skip this—look for more modern presets with better documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ReShade installed and set up for Skyrim before adding these presets—you'll need to select the preset file in-game via the ReShade menu.
- Since the mod is from 2018, check if your Skyrim version (Special Edition or Legendary) matches the preset's intended version; if not, you may need to adjust settings.
- Use the ReShade in-game overlay to tweak the preset's intensity—many presets look better with slight adjustments to suit your system and taste.
