📋 About This Mod
A ReShade Config that I made for Valheim. It makes Valheim look more realistic in terms of color. Thought I would share.
Install ReShade and download my file. Then drop my file in the directory where ReShade has been installed. Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim for steam.

With only 5 endorsements and 159 downloads, it's a niche mod for players seeking a quick visual upgrade without major changes. Last updated in August 2025, it remains a simple option for those who want a more grounded aesthetic.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (5 endorsements) — it's a hidden gem for realism fans.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't alter gameplay, just visuals.
- Recent update (August 2025) means it's likely compatible with current Valheim builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (5) — you're an early adopter, so expect potential issues.
- No before/after screenshots or detailed description — you're flying blind on what it actually changes.
- Requires ReShade installed separately — if you don't have it, this mod is useless.
For Valheim players who want a quick realism boost without overhauling the whole game. If you're into screenshots or atmospheric gameplay, this might be your jam. Skip if you prefer the vanilla art style or want more control over your visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure ReShade is installed and working before dropping this config in — test with a known preset first.
- After installing, tweak the settings in-game with the ReShade overlay (Home key) to suit your taste.
- If the game looks too dark or washed out, adjust the ambient light and exposure settings in ReShade.
