📋 About This Mod
Mods edits the resolution of the bloom render target, allowing it to use higher screen resolutions instead of the hardcoded quarter size.

- Huge community trust: 6,580 endorsements and 1.1M downloads show it's a go-to for bloom tweaks.
- Simple, focused purpose—does one thing and does it well, no bloat.
- Recently updated (March 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires NVSE, so you'll need to install that first if you haven't already.
- No detailed instructions in the description—you'll need to know how to set up NVSE mods.
- Bloom resolution changes are subtle; if you're not into graphics tweaking, you might not notice a big difference.

- Start with a moderate bloom resolution like half (0.5) to see the difference without tanking performance.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of the files and avoid conflicts.
