About this mod

Simple Preset to add some blue back into the sky + a touch of bloom whilst retaining the games original washed out aesthetic. Based off the weather mod 'Altitude' and the 'Simple Interior Lighting Overhaul' both a part of the Viva New Vegas mod guide.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Very basic personal preset to be used alongside Altitude and Simple Interior Lighting Overhaul, although it probably works just as well with vanilla weather and lighting as they are inherently similar.

My load order is based off the excellent Viva New Vegas mod guide and as quoted 'Fallout New Vegas is a ten year old game, and it looked dated even by 2010 standards. You will never be able to make the game look "good".

With that in mind this preset changes very little as I find adding heaps of effects and ambient occlusion etc is like putting lipstick on a bulldog.

Preset includes default FXAA & SMAA alongside colour correction, some contrast adjustment a touch of bloom and a subtle vignette effect. Should run well even on older systems/laptops, if struggling for performance turn off both AA options and if all else fails turn off the Bloom setting.

I assume that everybody knows what they're doing by now but just in case instructions below

Installation

Install ReShade  IMPORTANT - when installing ReShade you'll be asked to select which effect packages to install, you need 'SweetFX by CeeJay.dk' and 'Color effects by prod80' If you dont install these the preset wont work properly

Once ReShade is installed drop the ReShade Vanilla Plus.ini into the Fallout New Vegas folder

Once in-game press the home key to open the reshade interface, click the drop down menu at the top and find ReShade Vanilla Plus.ini and select it.

Tick the performance mode box at the bottom of the Reshade UI as well and you should be done

Uninstall

Delete ReShade Vanilla Plus.ini and to remove ReShade entirely use this tool
