This shader preset was made to improve the subtle graphics of Sims 3. It has been tested in all worlds and seasons such as SunlitTides and MoonlightFalls.
This MOD is a customized preset file for Reshade 3.0.8. Please construct the environment according to the installation method described below.
Reshade is a post-processing effect. Effects are applied to the entire screen regardless of UI presence or absence.
This preset includes the Bloom effect to enhance the brightness of the sun. I adjusted it so as not to affect playing, but the UI is brighter at night, so it glows dazzling. Also, in locations such as white walls and white sand beaches that spread widely, glare may be strengthened.
Bloom is set to be less than usual, but if you are concerned about dazzling please cut off the Bloom effect.
Impact on performance
I have
not tested on performance hits, but Reshade is a very high performance hit effect. I think that for
high-powered graphics board is required.
My PC spec is as follows:
PROCESSOR: Intel(R) Core i7-3770k CPU @ 3.50GHz ~ 4.4GHz (8CPUs)
MEMORY: 24GB RAM (8+8+4+4 DDR3)
GRAPHICS: GeForce GTX 980ti
(Probably you do not need such a high spec.)
First of all, you need to install DirectX end-user runtime to run Reshade. This is a requirement that is also written on the official website.

A computer with Windows Vista SP1 or higher (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10) and the DirectX end-user runtime installed is required.
