📋 About This Mod

An ini tweak. Basically a weaker and less detailed version of the vanilla HBAO+.

As we all know, Fallout 4 has 2 ambient occlusion. For me, both of them are not good enough: SSAO is too inaccurate. HBAO+ is too strong and may cause weired shadows on the face of my character.

This mod is a simple INI tweak that makes HBAO+ less detailed and weaker, which will not cause weired shadows on faces anymore and effects on the environment is retained.  Open your Fallout4Prefs.ini and replace the part with:

bBackgroundAOEnable=1

bBlurEnable=1

bBlurSharpnessProfileEnable=1

bDepthThresholdEnable=0

fDetailAO=0. 4500

fPowerExponent=1. 3500

fBackgroundAOViewDepth=750. 0000

fDepthThresholdSharpness=100. 0000

fDepthThresholdMaxViewDepth=500. 0000

iDepthClampModeEnum=0

fCoarseAO=1. 0000

fBlurSharpnessProfileBackgroundViewDepth=1. 0000

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundViewDepth=0. 0000

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundSharpnessScale=4. 0000

fBlurSharpness=16. 0000

iBlurRadiusEnum=1

fBias=0. 1000

fRadius=0. 6500

I only adjusted fDetailAO and fPowerExponent. Lower fDetailAO will make HBAO+ less accurate, and lower fPowerExponent will make the effect weaker.
