Your game is absolutely beautiful. I was wondering if you use reshade or gshade? And if you do if you wouldn't mind sharing what preset you use.
Hi and thanks ❤
Here are some tips from me, reshade I use and some tips to get good photo. Also, I just learn how to use reshade recently and all my tips are "what's work" for my gameplay post.
Re-shade I use: Bojana Sims - Boho Reshade Preset
*they also explain how to use their reshade if u are beginner like me and also they already set the same setting that I use below and I just copy & tweak or play test the setting if needed.
Setting *(I'm using DX11)
I'm not only using reshade preset, I also using below to get the reshade work well. + my game graphic setting, I don't use ultra for graphic quality, I just use Custom and turn Edge smoothing to off.

MILK THISTLE BY SOFTERHAZE (HERE)
MIIKO CLOUD REPLACEMENT (HERE)
and last tips for taking good screenshot, indoor or outdoor using reshade or not (usually outdoor I use this method) :
For indoor (house or any lots) : I don't use yellow/orange light in my house or lots for lighting setting but for outdoor its just ok for me. I always use clear white light and use minimal lighting in my sims house. That why u will not seeing any chandelier or fancy lighting in sims house. and 1 more things since the rain in the house still a bug in the game, I use UI cheat to clear sky and wait until there's no rain happen. ( i did the same things for outdoor too)
For outdoor: I use to take my screenshot at a random sims time, sometime morning (its around 10 a.m), afternoon (2 p.m) or night (10 p.m. or 2 a.m) but I will make sure no rain by that time cause I just don't like it. Or If I don't have patience, I just cheat the time using UI.
and I don't really edit my gameplay post accept special post. All post are taken with reshade and here are my resource page for u to check what other stuff I use for my game other then reshade.
I'm still beginner and I don't really adjust my setting or changing my reshade and sometime I do ask my mutual for their tips. So if u need help or tips, feel free to ask. and keep in mind, everyone had their own preference of reshade or gshade preset, setting and not all of the setting work in your game but feel free to play around with difference preset until u found your love :)
that it's from me, and hope this tips help u and thanks a lot :)
coming from a WCIF friendly simblr ( me) leave the ppl that don't want to do wcifs alone like seriously leave them alone some people are not here to be at your service 24/7 they just wanna log in and post their art/gamepaly talk to friends and that's it. NO ONE is under obligation to help you even if you ask nicely. boundaries are boundaries and yall need to respect them. doesn't fucking matter what you think should be done if a person said no it means no.
alternatives to bothering non wcif people and harassing them through their inbox:
-see if they have a cc finds blog and look through that
-see if they have a pinterest board for sims 4
-see if they have their likes public they probably liked the cc they used
-see if other people have used this cc and if they are wcif friendly
-see if their friends have ccfinds they also probably get cc from there
- go on google and search “sims 4 theme of cc mm/alpha” so for example “sims 4 y2k top MM” “sims 4 layered hair alpha” and check newer pinterest pins
- go to @/public-ccfinds @/lightsleepertrait @/alwaysfreecc and look through the latest reblogged posts
- ask your simblr friends
- most discords have a “wcif” channel utilize that
-try to recognize the creator even if you got it wrong looking up “sims 4 leahlillith layered hair” when you are looking for Anto hair believe it or not will get you there faster cause google connects most cc creators with the same style together (based on people clicking on similar creators when cc shopping its algorithmic work)
all of these methods are tried by yours truly and i usually only end up doing 1 or 2 of these and i find the piece quickly everything will take max 15 mins of your time which is more efficient than sending anon and waiting 1-4 businesses days to begin harassing the simblr into giving up the link of the cc.
Hello! I’m a long time follower and I noticed that your screenshots got better in terms of quality! 😁 Did you get a new PC? And do you have any tips on how to take better gameplay screenies/editing? Thanks! Hope you have a lovely day 💕
Hi Noni and thanks. Hope u have a lovely day where ever u are too ❤
Btw, I recently answer the same or might be slightly same as this ask and also I include some tips how I take my screenshot. Its still the same method I use but here are more related what u ask or u can just refer both.
1st, I have a laptop and a PC (my husband gave me his old PC and upgrade it for me). If I'm at home, I will use my PC more then my laptop cause recently I did upgrade my graphic card for both Laptop and PC for my IRL work, also I use DX11 for the sims and I recently use re shade in my game that why my screenshot look better quality but I'm not really call my screenshot look that better, I'm still play around with taking screenshot here and there or don't be shy to ask other simmers their tips too and I upgrade my sims camera overhaul. I have a few part of how I have a better screenshot, since I'm too perfectionist and sometime I do have "Jealousy" in me, when I see other simmers have more better quality of screenshot 😅. So this is what I call "what works for me" and hope it's work for u too.
Choosing the right Re shade / G-Shade Preset
Choosing the right re shade / gshade are the second most important for me or maybe every one will agrees with me and not every reshade preset suit your style. I've try a lot of preset and end up stick with what i'm currently use. So choose wisely.
Gameplay, Build, Interior and Exteriors screen shot:
Recently there's a rain in the house bug that haven't being fix yet, so I use UI cheat to clear the sky cause it will effect my screenshot and the screenshot will look not good for me. I don't really edit my gameplay screenshot. It's all from my re shade that I use (u can check my previous ask regarding this). I only edit my screenshot when the picture look dark or enhance it but so far I already love what my re shade gave. And last I don't really play with my sims in their house, i use to bring them out to a community lot or somewhere that have an outdoor light and play with in game time too. I already explain this in the previous ask post.
Cas screenshot for Sims submission / intro post / Look book
I only use SRWE to take cas screenshot and my setting size are 2000 X 1500 or 3000 x 2500 (this will make your screenshot more HD or sharpen look).
What I use for editing my post.
I use Canva and Pixlr for editing cause its have everything and easy for me if i need anything from template to editing. I'm not use to PSD since it's give me alot of time to figure out 😅.
and that it from me and hope this tips work with u and thanks for noticing my changes of my screenshot 💜
