Reshade not saving settings, tried everything

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.
