About this mod

A smoother and simpler reshade, leaning towards subtle effects over massively changing colors or crazy sharpening.

In my experience, reshade presets for New Vegas tend to oversharpen, mess with the colors unnaturally, or seem to do nothing. I wanted something that seamlessly enhanced the game's aesthetics while being compatible and lightweight, which I do believe I've done here.

I created this with Clarity as a base, which I thoroughly recommend, especially for that Frontier compatibility. However, I have also tested Vanilla, RWL, and Nevada Skies and I have confirmed that they are all compatible.

In order to get a look exactly like my pics, please use Dynavision, set the hollywood style to ultra cool blue, then in 'Lights' in the MCM, set the saturation to -27.

Installation:
1. Download the latest working Reshade from this link here: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_4.9.1.exe

2. Launch it and direct it to your FalloutNV.exe.

3. Select (make sure its a checkmark instead of a square) "Sweetfx", "qUINT" "AstrayFX" and "Legacy standard effects" when it says to select effect packages.

4. Drop my preset into your root Fallout New Vegas folder.

5. In-game, press the home button to open reshade, click on the drop-down box in the top left, and select SmootherReshade.ini.

6. Check the Performance Mode box on the bottom.

7. Enjoy!

Side note: I'm not sure if all the effect packages are needed, they're what I had installed at the time and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Also, I didn't test any of Nevada Skies's moods, so use them at your own risk, ooooh!

All the other reshade preset makers on here. I know I dunked on them earlier but I used to use their presets all the time, and I learned a lot from looking at their work.
