📋 About This Mod

Introduction:

This is a tweaked version of my Fallout New Vegas ReShade preset made to work with Oblivion. I'm not using any weather or lighting overhauls.

Requirements:

- Reshade 4. 9. 1. You can probably use other versions, but this is the only one I've tested.

Other notes on my visuals:

If you're not using Oblivion's default HDR, you may not need any of this.

- HDR settings in Oblivion.ini (Recommended even if you don't use my ReShade!)

fBlurRadius=4. 0000

fBrightScale=1. 5000

- Candle Radius Changer (This and above ini tweaks fix blown out interior lights, even on vanilla game.)

- Oblivion Reloaded Lite v37 (Only using AA, memory management, skin, and water shaders.)

Installation:

  • []Download Reshade 4. 9. 1 here and run the exe.

    []Click on "Click here to select a game..."

    []Select your Oblivion exe, and click okay.

    [](If you already have Reshade installed for Oblivion, click "Update" next.)

    []Now check the boxes for these packages, then click okay:

    Standard Effects

    SweetFX by Ceejay.dk

    Color Effects by prod80

    OtisFX by Otis Inf

    []Now select the shaders we need from each package.

    - From "SweetFX by Ceejay":

    LumaSharpen.fx

    - From "Color effects by prod80":

    PD8004_Color_Temperature.fx

    - From "OtisFX by Otis Inf":

    MultiLUT.fx

    []Extract the CHIM ReShade text file to your root Oblivion folder (where the .exe is located).

    []Boot up the game. Press "Home" to open the Reshade menu. Skip the tutorial, and select CHIM ReShade near the top of the menu.

    Thanks!

    Edit: Two or three of the screenshots might have had All Natural loaded when I took them, but I can't remember really.
