Sweet HD FO4

Hello, dear gentlemen and ladies! I just wanted to thank all of you who took the time to come back and support the fashion! You guys are super! Approval has helped others like you to grasp it.

Otherwise, if you believe that fashion is not for you, please feel free to leave comments, your constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome. Maybe I can do something you like in the next release using your feedback!

As always, I will do my best to be here for you guys and girls (customer support). Thank you all for trying out MOD and revealing the strengths and opportunities of the framework! We wouldn't be where we are today (with modding) without your community feedback!

Optional ENB DOF & Auto Adaption —Via Separate ENB series plugin— (Auto Adaption = auto-brightens dark areas & auto-dims bright areas) Runs in ENBSeries v0.291 to a level that I'm ready to share with you guys.

This eliminates the "intricate" aspect of the game and increases sharpness and color accuracy without oversaturation. You get the sharpness that FXAA/TAA removes, but keep all the smooth edges. It's the best of both worlds. I made sure to use only those shaders that have minimal impact on performance. That is, on my 4-year-old laptop, I noticed only a drop on 1-2 fps when running 7970m with 2 GB of VRAM. What's more, on the Ultra settings I got an increase of 1 FPS in many areas. What kind of witchcraft is this?

I apologize for the pixelated images in advance. Due to a 2MB limit on Nexus photos, screenshots look like hot trash. Focus on color and depth, the clarity you will see in the game...

Enjoy your apocalypse!

Graphic addicts like me, your mother and sister. (grandma can watch)

People who are fed up with the vague, ugly asses of the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Anyone who squints at a monitor two feet away from their face.

Your computer is held on tape and willpower.

You have 30 fps because 29 is just unplayable, right?...right?

SweetFX / Reshade haters, their moms, their sisters. (grandma can still watch)

(Left Drain - Right SweetHD FO4)

Extremely poor performance

Runs on 2-4 FPS higher than if you wrapped SweetFX in ENB (same settings, DOF off) I don't know exactly why...

Eliminates the "blur effect"

Eliminates fuzziness caused by FXAA/TAA.

Excellent color and reliability. (I did my best to remain true to Bethesada's vision for the game)

The textures and textures of the world become "POP!".

No destructive effect on game menu text

Shaded areas are darker. (IMHO this adds a level of immersion to the game since you really have a reason to use a flashlight) I highly recommend using the Pip-Boy flashlight from akkalat85, try 150%

Compatible with all .ESM/.ESP mods

A 20% brighter version is now available with even better color (IMHO) and brighter shaded areas

Extremely slow performance

You need to install it manually. (because NMM only allows access to the Data folder - no root access)

Shadow areas are darker. (It is recommended to use a flash of light) - Ferrals can now really sneak up on you. #HorrorMovie

We need to reconfigure Dark Nights, because vanilla is much darker now.

The version is 20% brighter, it seems to "smooth" the image a little bit. Since the shadows are not so dark... IMHO

(Left Drain Version - Right SweetHD FO4)

Unzip all files with 7zip. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html (32 or 64 bits will work) do not run it inside a 7zip file. This will cause an error

Run "Reshade Setup" as administrator (otherwise the dll file will not be copied = CTD)

Click on "Choose Game"

go to the Fallout installation folder (for most people, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4)

Select Fallout4.exe

Done! Enjoy!

NOTE: By default, the SCROLL LOCK key is used to turn effects on and off. You can reassign it in the SweetFX folder under Fallout 4 in the Global_settings.txt file. I use the insert key on my installation. #define ReShade_ToggleKey VK_INSERT //Set the key that should toggle on/off effects
