📋 About This Mod
An ini tweak for better in game SSAO for those who can't run ENB Series SSAO
This is an Alternate for those who can't run an ENB or at least ENB Series SSAO or the HBAO (although if you can run HBAO you can run enb series SSAO because it takes less performance)
Computer Graphics 101:
SSAO stands for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, Ambient occlusion is an algorithm used in 3D modeling , rendering and video games made to improve the realism of a game or scene by darkening the dark area that in real life wouldn't get lights basically adding shadows were there should be irl and is done in screen space to save performance (screen space means what is on the screen only) check the video to se the difference
This is an ini tweak and there are two presets a Darker one which is better than vanilla and is the pretties but will still have a few artifacts but if you want
as little artifacts as possible pick the Lighter version
Add this under the section in your Fallout4.ini
The location of this file should be in your documents or in your MO2 ini and should something like this:
C:\Users\(Your Username)\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 note if using MOD Organizer 2 it will probably be your profile's ini instead
Don't forget to have bSAOEnable=1 set to 1=enabled 0=disabled
and have bEnable=0 so that HBAO is Disabled
oh and btw all of the pictures were taken on series x
