📋 About This Mod
A simple custom shader for Starfield (2023)
This shader makes Starfield (2023) become slightly brighter (stronger global lighting effects) but with better shading, details and post processing effects.
Mainly I've created this to reduce the "greenish" look of Starfield's atmosphere, and to get better global light effect (indirect and direct light).

NOTE:
- It's based on Reshade 5. 6.x framework, BUT may not work properly with the other version of Reshade or other standard shaders.
Therefore, Please CLEAN-UP your previous all Reshade files and configuration (if you already installed it) from your Starfield folder.
DO NOT mixed up with the other Reshade files!
How to install:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 304 endorsements and over 45k downloads
- Adds a subtle but noticeable brightness boost without washing out colors
- The 3D stereoscopic mode is a rare feature that adds depth for compatible setups
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023 — may not be compatible with recent Starfield updates
- Shader mods can conflict with other visual overhauls or ENB-like presets
For Starfield players who want a slightly brighter, more detailed image without a full visual overhaul. Also for those with 3D displays or VR setups who want stereoscopic depth. Skip if you prefer a darker, moodier atmosphere or if you're already using a comprehensive reshade preset.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your Starfield version matches the mod's update date (September 2023) — if you're on a newer patch, test for compatibility.
- If you're using a mod manager, try installing manually first to ensure the shader files go to the right folder.
- For the 3D mode, make sure your display or headset supports stereoscopic 3D before enabling it.
