FOUNDATION - balancing reshade for TS4 by amoebae

The Sims 4 suffers from very strong blue shadows in a lot of worlds, and generally has a blue or teal-green haze cast across the screen. This means things that should be white are blue or teal, greys have a blue tone to them, and shadows look out of place. I've generally tried to counteract this and make things more neutral in most of my presets, but it's annoying to have to do it each time from scratch, and I've never found a really good method that still preserves everything else that happens to be coloured blue.

Until now!

Foundation at its core is a simple multilut that removes the blue/green haze and neutralises shadows and things that should be neutral to begin with. It doesn't alter any other colours or contrast so menus stay usable and clear. The result is a game that looks exactly like the Sims game you know and love, but more balanced.

You can see an album of example screenshots here, including lots of splitscreen comparisons showcasing what the multilut does: https://imgur.com/a/Ic271u1

---

You can use the Foundation multilut alone, you can drop it into a preset you already use, or you can use it to build your own preset around.

- If using the Foundation multilut alone:

while playing the game open the ReShade menu and choose from one of the 5 luts included in the Foundation multilut depending on which looks better for your current world/neighbourhood/season/time of day/weather

- If using the Foundation multilut with an existing preset:

open the ReShade menu and drag the multilut so it's either above or below your current used shaders - if you drag it above them it'll neutralise the blue cast *first* and your other settings will apply afterwards; if you drag it below them it will also neutralise blues in your current settings

- If using the Foundation multilut to build your own preset around:

I recommend keeping the Foundation multilut above any other colour grading shader effects in the load order so that you're working on a properly balanced base

If you want to use the Foundation multilut alone because you like how the game usually looks but just want to banish those obnoxious blues, I've built a full ReShade preset around it if you want something a bit extra.

The only colour grading is the Foundation multilut, but it adds in other 'bells & whistles' shaders like MXAO, RadiantGI, DoF, Adaptive Fog, Depth Haze, SMAA, Sharpening, Deband, and several flavours of Bloom to choose between. You can play the game with just the Foundation multilut enabled, and turn on any of the other effects when you want to take more polished screenshots.

This preset is ideal for someone who likes how TS4 looks but wants a better version of that. It's also ideal for CC creators who want to take nice screenshots of their CC but don't want to alter how it looks in a vanilla game.

---

Ultimately, Foundation is meant to be a tool to help you get the best from your game, whether you just want to play with colours looking how they're meant to, or if you want to build your own preset without having to do battle with the blue shadows and colour casts all the time.

You have two download options:

Just the Foundation multilut (includes the multilut png and the corresponding shader that requires the Prod80 package)

or the Foundation ReShade preset (includes the multilut, the amoe - Foundation.ini preset file, and some additional shaders/textures you'll need)

There are full installation instructions included in both downloads.

Ophelia - A GShade Preset

Hi! I decided to return to content making by releasing a reshade! This one has been in the works since January and it started out as a 3.0.8 preset but I couldn't figure out how I wanted it and then life happened so unfortunately Ophelia was shelved. And now it's back! Using the same preset as 3.0.8, Ophelia for GShade was born :)

This is a GShade preset, unknown if it works for Reshade versions.

Demetria - A GShade Preset for CAS

Hi! In my efforts to create a preset for every occasion, create a sim was the one I got a little excited about, who doesn't love a good cas preset? There aren't really many color changes to this one, it's just a slight enhancement of what's already there.

This is a GShade preset, unknown if it works for Reshade versions.

fika - gshade preset ₊˚⊹ ʚɞ

i've been playing with this preset for a while now, and i've finally polished it enough to put it out into the world. it is probably the most subtle preset (IMO) that i have ever made. i wanted to keep the natural tone of the game as much as i could bc that is just the vibe i've been loving.

installation tutorial: How to Make The Sims 4 Look Better! (GShade Install + Tutorial/Presets/Lighting Mods)

important: i use lighting mods/terrain overrides in my game. without those there is a chance your game may look different then mine. i will link all lighting mods/terrain overrides below.

sunblind, tech-hippie terrain override, out of the dark

file location: C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\gshade-presets\Custom

tou: do not reupload and claim it as your own. do not use it as a base, tweak, it and try to claim it as your own. tweaking for personal use is completely fine. i hope you enjoy this preset. if you use it make sure to tag me so i can see.

raíces - a reshade preset

vibrant and crisp just like memories should be

Important things:

Lighting mods: I'm using sunblind and better in-game lighting mod (dark saturated dark rooms) so it might look different in your game.

Toggle Keys: I'd recommend changing toggle keys to the ones that work for you (Shaders I found useful to turn off sometimes: BloomAndLensFlares, HexLensFlares & CinematicDOF).

I wouldn't use it for gameplay, but I won't stop you. I only use it for screenies.

Reshade/Gshade: it should work for both

I beg you, do not claim as yours and don't reupload it! Edit it as you will for personal use (in other words, don't use as a base).

download (sfs)

see how it looks in other people's games (ty to those who tested it). Feel free to tag me if you use it so i can see!

*let me know if you have any questions/problems

[more pics + list of shaders under the cut]

it wasn't made for cas but it works (more or less), maybe it looks better with other backgrouds. At least with white backgrounds you have to turn off BloomAndLensFlares, HexLensFlares and maybe the DOF shaders (mainly CinematicDOF).

i added the list of shaders in case you guys are missing some (all of them can be downloaded by default when you install reshade I think). Keep in mind that the order of the shaders MATTER.
