UPDATE 9


Works with last update of Stardew Valley!



A HUGE thank you to all those who downloaded my mod and offered me the 3600 Endorsements, you give me the motivation to keep improving Natural Color!




DESCRIPTION

This mod changes the colors of the game to make them more natural. It uses a system that changes colors directly on the screen, which allows a HUGE compatibility with all mods and versions of Stardew Valley, it's simple I don't know any mod that is in conflict with it (except another ReShade).


The improvements are:
- The paths are less yellow
- Cherry trees are more pink
- Deeper blue water
- The night is darker
- More uniform contrast
- More vivid light
- And many other improvements...
And as a bonus a small Tilt-Shift and Chromatic Aberration effect to give a little depth!




INSTALLATION


1. Uninstall the old version of Natural Color if you already have it installed (Go to the "Options menu" and choose "Delete Natural Color").

2. Place the contents of "Natural Color.zip" in the root of the game (not in the Mods folder!):
- GOG: C:\GOG Games\Stardew Valley
- Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

3. Start Stardew Valley with Natural Color by clicking on "Natural Color - Launcher", on first use, you will be asked for setting options, select the option "[1] Install Natural Color" and follow the steps smoothly, once finished the game will start automatically and you should see the new colours on your game screen.

If there is no change, it means that the injection of Natural Color in Stardew Valley has failed, in this case you have to change the injection method by starting "Natural Color - Launcher", press [1], and Install Natural Color again.




INJECTION

The Stardew Valley 1.5.5 update and higher allows Natural Color to be injected automatically at game startup without having to start "Natural Color - Launcher" ! If you don't have this update, the old injection methods are still available for Stardew Valley 64 and 32 bits with "[1] Install Natural Color" option.




KEY


- F3: Enable/disable the Tilt-Shift effect, it is disabled at startup (F3 is the default key, it can be customized with "Natural Color - Launcher").
- F4: Enable/disable the HUD (Vanilla functionality).
- Print Screen: Takes a picture (The picture is placed in the root in the "Screenshots" folder).
- Scroll Lock: Enable/disable all effects.
- Home (↖): Pops up the ReShade window (Use ONLY if you know well ReShade).




INFORMATIONS

Uninstallation:
Start "Natural Color - Launcher", press [1], and select the option "[2] Delete Natural Color" and all Natural Color files will be deleted (except the "Screenshots" folder).


Update:
With each new update, uninstall Natural Color (see above) to remove the old version of the mod, once the cleaning finished, drop the new version in the root of Stardew Valley.


Compatibility:
- Works with all versions of Stardew Valley.
- SMAPI is not required and is compatible.
- Multiplayer compatible (Natural Color will only work on your screen).
- Compatible with all mods that replace textures.
- Completely safe, it does not touch your save!


Other informations:
- All colors are changed including that of your character.
- The yellow color will appear almost white.
- The Tilt-Shift effect also works on the menu screens and can consume a bit of performance for small configurations.
- Reshade only works on Windows, not on Mac, Linux, Android or iOS.
