📋 About This Mod

Simple combination of shaders to try and do a few things I love about some of my favorite ENBs for Skyrim and other games, but through ReShade!

Filmic Tonemapping/Texture Sharpening/Subtle Bloom/Color correction for different moods

Now comes in FOUR versions! Vibrant/Realistic/Cinematic/AgX color

Vibrant: The original more vibrant version of the preset with the richest colors of the 3

Realistic: Wider color gamut for a more realistic and less saturated world

Cinematic: Very grim dark fantasy style, more neutral toned colors and almost completely eliminates the blue overtone in shadows in a lot of areas while not straying too far from the original game's color palette or losing much color saturation

AgX: A newer form of tonemapping that provides a much wider color range. I extracted the color information into a LUT so that it still has the same contrast as the other presets but with the new colors! Provides more muted colors that more accurately represent how film works. VERY interesting results with this one so check the last screenshots uploaded for comparisons.

Installation:

Download the newest version of ReShade at Home (reshade.me)

Launch the ReShade Setup file and select "Click here to select a game and manage it's ReShade installation"

Find "Elden Ring (eldenring.exe)" in the list of games that pops up and select it

If you cannot find it hit the browse button in the bottom right and find the exe located in the steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game folder, wherever you have your steam games installed.

Select "DirectX 10/11/12" for the rendering API

Check the boxes for the shader packages you need to install which are:

SweetFX by CeeJay.dk

qUINT by Marty McFly

Color effects by prod80

Extract my ReShade presets from the zip file using whichever zip program you prefer. I would recommend 7-Zip because it's free and better than winrar in my opinion.

Copy my preset file "Simple Vibrant ReShade for Elden Ring" into the steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game folder, wherever you have your steam games installed. If you are using the AgX preset make sure you also copy the "reshade-shaders" folder that is included into your Game folder as well.

Launch the game and hit the Home key to pull up the menu for ReShade. It might have you go through a tutorial so just click through that. Once you have access to the menu select the drop down bar at the top and select Simple Vibrant ReShade for Elden Ring.ini from the list.

Make sure you have the ingame brightness set to the default setting (5)

And you should be good to go!

If you should ever need to uninstall it for any reason, simply run the ReShade setup file again and select Elden Ring same as during the installation. It will detect you already have ReShade installed and y
