📋 About This Mod
This reshade preset aims to make NieR Automata have closer graphics to real life, bringing better AO, more accurate colors, way less fog, better aliasing and Extra effects
The Mod includes 3 Standard effects:
-HyperRealistic Automata: Focus on making visuals closer to real life, something closer to how life look when we look at the window
-HyperRealistic Automata - Dead: Its a more apocalyptic version of the normal effect, with visuals more similar to other apocalyptic games like The Last of Us and Days Gone, while maintaining the dead look of the original game
-HyperRealistic Automata - End of Data: Its a attempt of recreating the looks of the End Of Data Orchestra Concert Art
The Mod includes 2 Extra effects:
-HyperRealistic Automata (Extra) - Sunset: Its a modified version of the normal effect but with a use of the colors and fog to mimic sunset's illumination
-HyperRealistic Automata (Extra) - Night: Its a modified version of the normal effect but with darker looks, trying to make the game look like its night, the effect includes a really dark vibe
How to use:
-Install Reshade on NieR Automata (Enable all effects in the installation)
-Put the preset files in the game's folder
-enable them in the game
-SET BRIGHTNESS TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE, the mod was made with reducing the fog on mind, so the effect was made in the game lowest brightness
-Observation: if it happens of the preset get broken fogs or shadows, it may be the Generic Depth disabled or the RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED is set wrong in the Global Preprocessor Definitions
The preset was made by me, but if you look at the photos, the game is in a different grass model, thats because i used a awesome mod called "Denser Grass" made by Seek877, so if you want the grass in your game to look like the photos, you must use this great mod in the link below:

(Warning: the grass mod is not part of the Reshade preset, "Denser Grass" was used just for the screenshots)

💡 Beginner Tips
