Preset — Compass • 3.0.8 ReShade preset - The Sims 4 / Presets and sliders

⁘ Preset Characteristics

Compass is a neutral and saturated preset with strong MXAO and deep blacks. It has denoise and glow filters to give it a smoother, dreamier look. It makes all colors more vibrant including skintones, if you’d like a more true to game look you can easily disable those settings. Works best for summery outdoor screenshots or mid-afternoon indoor screenshots.

For ReShade 3.0.8, not intended for newer versions.
Requires MULTI LUT Shaders
Disabled edge-smoothing in order to use MXAO & DOF.

⁘ Key Commands

MXAO: Caps Lock
Tilt Shift: Q Keyboard***

***Replace and add key commands of your choosing to customize the preset for you. Matso DOF, MartyMcFly DOF, Ambient Lighting, Bloom, and CA are all off but configured. If you find the blacks are too dark you can turn of Levels to lighting them.
