Feel free to upload any screenshots :)
Never thought id ever see so many downloads and endorsements. Truly thank you all for the years of support. This was one of the first reshades i uploaded to nexus, and it has inspired me to keep up with it on games that interest me. Thanks to all who downloaded this and even bigger thanks to the endorsers :)

Proud to Announce the final version (Again lol) of this Mod. Still works with SKSE.


This reshade doesnt require any of these mods but it was made in mind with

No bloom/hdr 
Relighting Skyrim
Climates of Tamriel 

They are Highly recommended, though not required.

Id also recommend turning of the in game Ambient Occlusion because this reshade has a much better version of AO.


Installation
1. Download reshade from https://reshade.me/ 
2. Place the Reshade Setup in the the main game folder and run it (May have to run as admin)
3. Find Skyrim in the list or click browse and Select SkyrimSE (Not the launcher/SKSE64)
4. Select the Direct 10,11,12
5a. A box will pop up, tick sweetfx, color effects by prod80, qUINT by Marty McFly and Legacy standard effects.
5b. For sweetfx, color effects and qUINT you can download them all. 


for legacy effects make sure you ONLY tick Ambient Light and Clarity


6. Paste BLS_2020.ini into the main game folder
7. Get In-Game and press Home, click continue (Use the launcher you normally use whether thats steam or skse64_launcher)
8. At the top, click the drop down and click BLS_2020.ini

8b. In the dx11 tab you may have to click the correct depth buffer for mxao to work, itll look like this and itll be your games resolution. youll know when you have the right one ticked.

9. Now the shaders should be set and you can press home and play

10. *Optional* In the Settings tab switch the Usage Mode from Configuration Mode to Performance Mode, might save a small fps percentage
(Setting an Effects Toggle Key is kind of nice too, i use Scroll Lock. Good for places that are too dark and you need to toggle the effect for a minute) for a better looking skyrim


Uninstall
1. Delete dxgi.dll, dxgi.ini, dxgilog.txt, BLS_version.ini, and the reshade-shaders folder
Thats it :)

Anything below this is for older versions.
Instructions: Would recommend switch to FXAA
1. Paste contents into the main directory with the SkyrimSE executable

2. Run the "ReShade Setup" and select the SkyrimSE executable (It will probably say failed to copy x file thats fine)

3. To Use the more vibrant version just replace the SweetFX_settings.txt in the SweetFX Folder with the vibrant version
(Warning more vibrant makes dungeons darker and nights very dark, I would suggest carrying a torch or messing with your in game gamma)

4. Play the game and enjoy :)



To Use an older version replace the SweetFX_settings.txt in the sweetfx folder

Trouble-Shooting:
Possible fix for crashing is to turn off fxaa in the Nvidia control panel (Thanks TheUndeadCpt )
If youre getting odd lighting issues while moving try changing your anti aliasing [Most likey off TAA]  (Thanks christian6957 )


Uninstalling:
Download this: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5347/?
Place it in your game directory and run it
That will remove most of the files (at least to the point the game will be in a running state)
To remove the rest of the files just compare the files in the download to your game directory and delete the left overs (optional for the game to run)
