Comes with two presets:

How to install:
Extract all files into the GAME folder inside your ELDEN RING directory.
Steam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game
Reshade hotkeys:
- [
[]Numpad "-" button: toggle effects on/off
[]PrtSc button: take a screenshot through ReShade, will be saved in Steam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game
If you want to install ReShade yourself, use ReShade ver. 4. 9. 1
Set the depth buffer plane from 1,000 to 5,000.
If you don't like the ambient occlusion/shadow effects and would rather use the in-game ambient occlusion, simple disable PPFX SSDO and MXAO shaders.
If you extracted my files straight to your ELDEN RING game folder instead, you do not need to do these as I already placed the correct values for the depth plane for each respective preset.
Please take note that I have a Depth of Field effect in the shader list for all versions. This shaders blurs the far distances and looks really good when doing cinematic, no HUD footage but can get a little janky if you have HUD on and can make people dizzy, If you want to turn it off, simply disable the "ADOF" shader in the ReShade overlay.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 135 endorsements and 4,658 downloads—people are using it.
- Stays true to the original color palette, so it won't wash out or oversaturate your game.
- Works with RTGI, so you can stack it with ray tracing for extra depth.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2022—might not play nice with the latest Skyrim patches or ReShade versions.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- It's a preset only—you'll need to grab ReShade itself and possibly RTGI, which adds setup time.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle visual upgrade without overhauling the game's look. If you're into photorealistic ENBs, this might be too tame—but if you want a quick, natural boost, it's worth a shot. Skip if you're on an older GPU or don't want to fiddle with ReShade.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ReShade installed and set up for Skyrim before dropping this preset into your main directory.
- If you're using RTGI, load this preset after enabling RTGI in the ReShade menu to avoid conflicts.
- Tweak the preset in-game using the ReShade overlay—adjust sharpening or ambient light to match your monitor.
