What's up you guys welcome back to the channel or welcome if you are new my name is anomaly But you can call me Ali for sure. So a while ago actually made a video Shoot I think it was how to reduce lag in the Sims 4 and that did really well and I actually got some questions about reshade actually and how to install Reshade which I cannot live without reshade in my game like it is just Like I just can't like for some reason without reshade Sims 4 just seems really dull to me and I need that Pop of color if you don't know what reshade is basically it's kind of like um An external I don't know how you can say it like plug in that you can download and put in pretty much any game to Just make your game a brighter Or not even just brighter just anything you want really And a lot of a lot of creators in the Sims community have made Certain presets so that you can use in your game so you don't have to like make your own you can download one Off of tumbler that you really like I see a lot on tumbler that I'm just like oh so good So now that I told you guys what reshade is we are going to download it So go ahead and go to this website right here. It will be in the description below And you're gonna see like a purple download button Click that and it's gonna take you down here. You're gonna want to click download reshade 4.9.1 is the version that it's in now It might be different by the time you see this video, but you're just gonna want to click that Um, and it should show up as reshade setup down here So once you've downloaded it go ahead and click on the reshade setup and click this box right here go to browse and then this pc Windows c program files 86 Go down to origin games the sims 4 scroll down to game bin and then click on the sims 4 64 bit now if there's just the sims 4 and nothing after it do not click that Always click the one that has 64 after it. So do open and then it's gonna ask you which rendering API does the sims 4 use Select the first one, which is direct 3d9 And then it's gonna ask me if I want to update it just because I already haven't installed So I'm gonna do update and then you're gonna see A list of shaders and it's gonna ask you if you want to install any of these now I don't just because I prefer more simple reshades that don't have a lot of shaders and whatnot So it depends on the reshade you're gonna get some of them do require some of these and some don't I prefer not to download all of them. That's your choice So go ahead and do okay And then it's gonna show you all of these Effects kind of our shaders click okay and your reshade setup was successful So now reshade will be in your game. So I'm over here at maxes match cc world If you don't know what that is you're living under rock. Okay, because this is the best place for cc But I'm gonna link this website down below and I'm gonna go to reshade presets And there are a ton a ton of presets now a lot of these Uh do require um some more shaders and may not work on um a a low npc So You can look you can't take a look at these if you want to but I totally recommend Ocean Sims has made a few good ones urban Sims has made a few good ones That's the only two that I know that don't like literally break your game um But go ahead and choose whatever you want. I currently use ocean sims preset. I think it's called simple sim but I like kind of tweaked it a little bit to make it more vibrant Um, but I will list Uh ocean sims and urban sims presets down below so you can check those out you can check these out too But they're kind of crazy. You gotta make that decision for yourself. Okay, so when you download your preset It's gonna look like this with this little icon with the gear on it So let's see. I'm going to go ahead and copy it and then to put that preset into your game You're gonna do the same exact thing that you did earlier. So go to this pc Windows program files Uh, where is it origin games Sims 4 Game bin you're gonna see if you install it correctly reshade shaders should be here as well as this reshade um file right here So you're just gonna want to move that uh preset into the bin file and now you will have this preset in your game So once you open the Sims 4 you're gonna see uh this thing at the top this gray bar And it's gonna say reshade is now installed successfully Press home to start the tutorial. So just go on your keyboard and press the home key And it's gonna show you uh this just kind of like a welcome message So I personally skipped the tutorial because like I don't want to I don't want to have to deal with like all the fancy stuff I don't understand it. I don't get it. Okay, I'm done But I would just skip the tutorial. So you're gonna see this you're gonna see this big gray box So go to the top Right here And then find that dot to i and i file that you downloaded so the preset that you downloaded mine was ocean sims simple sim So I'm gonna click on that and then do select And now it will actually be in your game. So this is what my reshade actually looks like in game which um I did edit it a little bit so it's a little bit more vibrant than ocean sims version But it's just so colorful and beautiful and I just love it. So If you kind of want to see what difference it makes in your game You can press that home button again And then you're gonna want to go to settings and then where it says effect toggle key You can choose the key on your keyboard that will kind of toggle the reshade effects So I'm gonna do I'm just gonna do the end key for the effect toggle. So go ahead and just Escape out of that do home. And so when I press the end key. So this is the reshade And this is the game without reshade Game without which I it's only forgot the end key was like going up and down, but it's fine. It's yeah like this I mean the game's fine, you know, it's okay But it's like super dull to me. I don't know why but reshade Bam super bright super crazy colorful. I just love it. I love reshade And if you're kind of like not vibing too well with a reshade you can just go back and go to home and there's a bunch of different effects that you can use and kind of mess with um You know, it's up to you. It's up to you whether you prefer Super vibrant and colorful or kind of more on um the chill kind of laid back side. You can really customize it to whatever you want. That was my tutorial on how to download and install reshade I really hope that um and might help some of you because I know when I first downloaded reshade I was like what the heck like I don't know what I'm doing Um, but if you like this video don't forget to leave a like and as always subscribe for more videos.
