"It's like you took a SweetFX rag and wiped the butter off my Skyrim." Blakon13

"...for some unexplained reason I seem to be getting a 1 to 3 fps boost..." edjon2000uk 

"Love these simple tweaks! The game now looks like it has an enb at times, crisp and clean. Endorsed!" supersnakelx 

"I rarely comment on mods commending them, but this is easily one of the simplest and best tweaks/tools i've added to my game so far.  Just astounding how much of a difference it makes. Thanks a lot for this, the detail is amazing." HydroDioxide

"I have to say that game looks amazing with this reshade, great work! Endorsed" Mikandil 

"Bless your face for this! As much as I was enjoying the SE, I was annoyed with how blurry everything was. This makes it much more crisp without any other drastic changes to lighting or colors. Absolutely perfect." lynroy  

"Tried a few of these presets and yours is the one I settled on simply because it has the best looking results for no discernible performance loss. Thank you for your wizardry and helping us mere mortal fools get the most from Skyrim SE :-)" Balraw  

"I'm using Vivid Weather and this reshade is just what I needed; Now I can have great colours with high saturation + bloom. This mod appears to fix all my blur issues, plus it takes the overly bright edge off of the bloom, making everything easy to look at and nice.  Oh, and there's no performance hit. Thanks for the mod

"Nothing is changed, and yet everything is different. Proud to give this my first official endorsement." RushKnight 







Hello good Sirs & Madams! Just wanted to give a shout out to all of you that have taken the time to come back and endorse the mod!  You guys ROCK! Endorsing has helped others, like yourself stubble upon it. 

Adversely, If you feel the mod not for you please feel free to leave a comment as well, your constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcomed.  Perhaps I will be able to make something you love in the next release, using your feedback! 

As always, I will do my absolute best to be here for you guys and gals (Tech support).  Thank you all for trying out the MOD and revealing the strengths and capabilities of the framework! We would not be where we are today (with modding) with out your community feedback!







This removes the "washed out" look the game has, it also sharpens everything, and increases color fidelity without over-saturation. You will get the clarity back that FXAA / TAA removes, yet still maintain all smooth edges. It's the best of both worlds. I made sure to only use the shaders that have a minimum performance impact. I.E. on my 4 year old laptop, I only noticed a 1-2 fps drop overall running 7970m 2GB VRAM. In fact on Ultra settings, I gained 1 FPS in many areas. What sorcery is this?

Enjoy!









  • Graphics junkies like myself, your mom & sister. (grandma can watch)
  • Peeps tired of a washed out ugly arse blurry world
  • Anyone finds themselves squinting at a monitor 2 feet from their faces




  • Your PC is held together by duct tape & willpower
  • You are at 30 fps, because come on 29 is just unplayable right?..RIGHT?
  • SweetFX / Reshade haters, their moms, sisters. (grandma can still watch)





  • Extremely Low performance hit
  • Runs 2-4 FPS Higher then when you Wrap SweetFX into ENB (Same settings DOF off) I'm not exactly sure why...
  • Removes washed out "effect"
  • Removes the fuzziness that FXAA / TAA introduces
  • Excellent color and fidelity. (Did my best to stay true to Bethesada's vision for the game)
  • Makes world text and textures "POP!"
  • No destructive effect on in game menu text
  • Compatible with all .ESM & .ESP mods
  • Will work in tandem with most ENB Presets (that use d3d11.dll API Hook)




  • Extremely Low performance hit
  • You need to manually install it. (due to NMM only allowing access to the Data folder - no root access)
  • Inside Shadowed areas darker. (Torch light recommended) - Baddies can actually sneak up on you now. #HorrorMovie












  • EXTRACT all files with 7zip. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html (32 or 64 bit is fine) don't run it inside the 7zip file. It will fail
  • Run "Reshade Setup" as Administrator (or the dll file will not get copied = CTD)
  • Click "Select Game"
  • drill down to your skyrim install folder (for most people it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition)
  • Select SkyrimSE.exe
  • Done! Enjoy!


NOTE: The default toggle key to turn the effects on and off is INSERT.  This can be remapped in the SweetFX folder now in your Fallout 4 directory in Global_settings.txt. I use the insert key on my rig.  #define ReShade_ToggleKey  VK_INSERT


UN-Installation?

One does not simply uninstall SweetHD... *evil laugh*
  • Use the Bat file in the Download section
  • Delete the folder it makes.


Manual Uninstall

  • remove "SweetFX" (optional)
  • remove "Sweet.fx" (optional)
  • remove "Reshade.fx" (optional)
  • remove "DXGI.dll" or "D3D11.dll" (careful as d3d11.dll could also be used for ENB) (mandatory)
  • remove "dxgi.log" (optoinal)



Then
  • remove Skyrim Folder
  • Perform a clean install of windows ME
  • Open solitare
  • Stare at the screen

j/k sorry this mod wasn't for you! hope to see you again sometime! :)
