📋 About This Mod
Features:
1. Higher resolution shadows when set to MAX in the settings
2. Screenspace reflections added to the puddles in the game
3. Foliage/tree shadows no longer become static at most camera angles
4. Optional stuff like upscaled textures, totally recofigured visuals, but the main part of the mod is points 1 through 3
0. There are 3 options to download: the FULL mod which includes textures and the lighting overhaul, or just the lighting overhaul with no upscaled textures, or just the textures themselves. they are labeled on the download tab.
1. Download ModEngine for Sekiro
2. copy the dinput8.dll and modengine.ini into your Sekiro game folder
3. for either version of the mod, copy the "mods" folder from the download into your Sekiro game folder
4. Make sure texture quality is set to Max in game if you're using the textures. For shadow quality,MAX now means an 8K shadowmap, so if performance is too low, lower it to High, or lower.
5. you're done!
Optionally, I do recommend the SekiroTSR mod which brings support for DLSS to the game! Download for free!
If you'd like to support the development of this mod, I do have a Patreon (google drive links for my mods and ad free videos) and a Ko-Fi, as well. It's much appreciated and genuinely does help me focus on modding as much as possible <3
