It seems Cinematic Depth of Field is still not working on my Sims 4 game, even with the newest update. It also seems that the auto-focus if unchecked works, but blurs the whole screen including my sim, however when I check it, it doesn't work anymore as if it's disabled. Is there a way to fix that on my pc? Please help. 

I'm using ReShade on the latest version of the Sims 4. When I first installed the latest version, the effects wouldn't even work (no change in the game) alongside the settings not saving upon relaunch. Did some digging, enabled write permissions - full permissions, even - for all application packages, resricted application packages, user, all of it! to the bin folder that the Sims 4 is stored in. No dice, presets would still not save. Unchecked "read only" on the bin folder. Still nothing. Switched to an older version (5.3.0) as suggested by some sims-specific guides, double-checked that everything had write permissions, still nothing. Made sure important files (reshade.ini specifically) in the bin folder had their write permissions enabled, they did. What's going on here and how can I fix it? Reshade is definitely still useable this way, but I could get a lot more out of it without having to change the settings every single launch.

Hello!
I installed ReShade on The Sims 4 game but I currently have a problem with it.
At every startup of the game, the message "ReShade 6.1.0. Visit reshade.me for news, updates, effects and discussion. ReShade is now installed successfully! Press 'Home' to start the tutorial" appears but I have already finished the tutorial and the configuration of the app.

Someone here can help me to remove this message please?
I thank everyone who will try to help me.

Hello-
 i don't have The file Reshade.ini and Reshade.log what do i have to do ?
.. I only have reshade setup and when i launch the game (sims 4), it tells me.. ''there were errors loading some effects. Check the log for more details''
first: where's the log?
second: the home button, i don't have it on my keyboard and if i can't change/find a file named RESHADE.ini, how i'm supposed to do it? 
 

 since the last EA update, my sims 4 game doesn't load completely. And I finally found that it was something about the reshade effects since it finally loaded again when I removed the presets and shaders folders from my game. I already updated reshade and selected "update reshade and effects" while updating and it was right after that that my game started crashing. Is there anything I did wrong ? Is there somewhere I can find the updated effects and download them ?

i use the fairydust reshade - it also only shows :DPX files
Levels.fx
curves
vibrance
technicolour
AdaptiveSharpen
and thats it - norm theirs a long list 

I'm not sure if it's reshade or my game, but for some reason, no matter what I do to try and fix it, Reshade just doesn't seem to work with my game. I've tried downloading and re-downloading Reshade multiple times but it never works properly in my game. The most recent issue that I found was that I eventually was able to adjust everything so that Reshade should have been working properly but when I selected a preset, the game just closed. Then when I tried to open up the game again, it kept closing before it got to the main menu. I've tried repairing the game many times but it still does the same thing. I also tried looking online for answers but I haven't found anything that's helped. I'm just not sure what's going wrong.

I downloaded a shader for the Sims 4 and every time I enable performance mode, comic.fx fails to compile. I've tried redownloading the effect, remaking the shader myself, and reinstalling ReShade, but nothing's worked. Any help is appreciated! 

This is a re-post. I included more detailed information regarding this. Plus, I've enabled viewer permissions that I forgot to enable for the Google Drive files I've attached here. If you didn't see the previous post, disregard this.

The ReShade Compatibility List website states that the depth buffer only works in the menu, but I have found that while in-game and have the "Copy depth buffer before clear operations" actually enabled in ReShade, the depth buffer works and RTGI works. While not perfect by any means visually, it does add depth to the game which is nice.

I made a post on Imgur that shows the settings of ReShade, shows how RTGI looks in-game via game screenshots, and proves that RTGI works. The post is here: imgur.com/a/kPYsIMs

Make sure to "Open Image in New Tab" to maximize the photos to be able to see the effect better when comparing Stock vs. RTGI.

I have tried all kinds of tricks. dgVoodooCpl is used as well with MSAA set to off. In the Nvidia control panel I have set "Performance" setting which turns off everything off in the 3D settings. I have played around with in-game options as well and turned off shadows and shading as well.

Simply, the depth buffer works until I use the teleporter to port to another part of the game. Once the teleporter is used, then it doesn't matter what settings I play around with in-game, dgVoodooCpl, Nvidia control panel, and ReShade Add-ons. I have tried checking every combination in the Add-ons panel. Once I teleport, the depth buffer is then simply just a black screen.

If there was no loading screens in DS2, then it wouldn't be a problem and we'd have RTGI, but that is not the case.

For ease of testing here is the game installation file:  drive.google.com/file/d/1yk5_HhIwpuBJWti...aUy/view?usp=sharing

The file is large because all the HD texture mods from Nexus mods is packed along with the game.

Here is ReShade with the preset and the RTGI "reshade-shaders" folder that you can just paste over the vanilla installation for pain-free experience: drive.google.com/file/d/1-6gRexMIxuX3Ddb...IQn/view?usp=sharing

I've installed the DX11 ReShade because dgVoodooCpl is DX9 to avoid conflict.

If anybody has any ideas as to how to fix this problem, that would be great. I would really like to experience DS2BW with RTGI on, but I am unable to find a solution and need help. Maybe it'll look like shit in some areas, maybe not, but the option to have it enabled and working would be awesome.

Thank you in advance.

For some reason everytime I download Reshade for Sims 4, I'm missing the Reshade2.ini file. Please do not tell me to redownload; as I have MULTIPLE times. My only guess is that somehow me having reshade for sims 2 is messing that up..(idk how).

Can someone please help?

I'm having issues with the update to reshade. I was able to uninstall reshade but now I can't reinstall it. I go through the process of reinstalling or even updating and I receive the successful notification, but when I launch sims it reshade is not loading. I have a 64-bit and have direct x. I'm unsure as to why 6.0.1 isn't working. I tried to reinstall and older version and now 5.9.2 ( what I had before) also is not working. Please help.

I have been using reshade 5.8 for the longest time in the sims 4. I stopped playing for a month or so and I got some issues about not finding the shader/texture files which I fixed by adding the folder names to the path. But before figuring that out I downloaded reshade 6 and suddenly my presets look... off? I can tell they are having different effects and such but a lot of them seem to be missing the shaders they used previously even though I have them installed. I uninstalled 6.0 but this is still happening. Another issue I found is that while, previously, when I was using 5.8 it would show preprocessor definitions, suddenly it doesn't anymore. Even when I input the definition I want to alter (for example RESHADE _DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC to 0) the effect it used to have no longer works?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

does anyone know how to solve this??

With the new Sims 4 update, i have decided to re-install my shaders. I was using a pretty old version. I downloaded the new reshade version and installed the shaders. I followed the instructions well but when i opened the game the reshade panel at the top wasn't there and the shaders weren't working.I re-installed multiple times following this tutorial: 

 Yet it would not work. I went into the files, i have the reshade-shaders folder and the d3d9 file which I've read means i installed it correctly.Ive repaired the game, changed the name of the d3d9 file, installed the DirectX Jun2010 thing, and I've re-installed reshade more times than i can count using MissLollyPop's presets. Ive followed every tutorial i can think of and its still not working.Please help, I'm desperate.

why doesn't anyone want to help on the forums why do they have forums then

Hi! I updated my reshade and now I have crazy camera control in Sims 3. It's not other mod or something, I've tested it and it's reshade. I'm holding scroll as always, moving my mouse 1 millimeter and camera makes thousands turns
