My Dear Melancholy: Gshade Preset
Soooo I made a GShade preset. It's vibrant and moody, named after my favorite EP by The Weeknd. And I've grown quite fond of it, so I thought I'd share.
⚠️⚠️This is gameplay friendly. BUT. THERE ARE HUGE DISCLAIMERS. ⚠️⚠️
The bloom on this preset is intense. You can simply turn this effect off, but it will look different. If you would like to have the exact look of this preset, you'll need the following:
Either a Black UI (I recommend Vyxated's) or the "Keep UI" effect installed. If you use a white or light UI, it will be too blown out. Black UI: https://www.patreon.com/vyxated/posts/chalkd-ui-sims-4-94573845
Keep UI: https://www.tumblr.com/vyxated/713316536461541376/reshade-clear-cas-ui-of-shaders-more
I use the Dark Pale Dark Rooms Northern Siberia Winds Lighting Mod: https://www.patreon.com/northernsiberiawinds/posts/better-in-game-1-79174144 If you use something brighter, your sims will be too blown out, especially lighter skinned sims.
I also use Milk Thistle: https://softerhaze.tumblr.com/post/685598562670772224/milk-thistle-v2-the-images-shown-were-taken-with
Lighting Warning - The bloom makes the inside of lots, too bright. Those tiny saucer ceiling lights, with the default white neutral light, will be WAY too bright. I have combatted this by using less lights in my builds, turning down the intensity, and changing my lights to a warmer white. The result is fabulous, but it is work.
I have Immerse Ultimate mxao, I cannot include it since it's behind a paywall. (I think) This isn't required for the preset, but the mxao will look different if you don't have it.
You have been warned. This preset asks you to adjust your game to accommodate it. As long as you follow my parameters, you'll be fine. If not, reread this paragraph.
I've played dozens of hours with this preset, and she's not perfect, but i love her and I hope you do too :)
