I’ve been avoiding ReShade because I’m a gameplay-driven player, and I don’t want to screenshot production to get priority over my gameplay. I also don’t edit my screenshots beyond lightening up some night shots. I really want my storytelling to come from my game.
However, I’ve been reading more about it, and I guess there are some settings are gameplay compatible, provided you have a studly enough computer -- which I MIGHT have. My computer is plenty studly, but I’m running Sims 3 inside a Windows virtual machine on a MacBook Pro, so I don’t know how much power I really have under all those layers.
I read the tutorial on MTS, which refers to ReShade version 2.0. Some stuff I’ve seen on searches about ReShade + Sims 3 have talked about upgrading to 3. Then I went to the ReShade site, and the current version is FIVE (5).
So... TS3 users, what version are you running? Is there a reason to run 2 or 3, or is the right thing to use the the current release? Do you have any downloadable presets you recommend of the flavor, “Vanilla but better?” that are gentle enough for gameplay?
