The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Ashen ReShade with DoF v.1.5 - Game mod - Download

Ashen ReShade with DoF is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition, created by TheMercsAssassin.

Description (in author’s own words):

This is my highly-cinematic, bordering on dark-fantasy ReShade for SSE. Adds lights, lens flare, darkens, lens dirt, shine/glow to metals. Enhances metals to look more metallic and reflective. Makes materials and surfaces look more detailed and nuanced. Maintains visibility at night. Sunsets are fire.

INSTALLING:

If you downloaded through steam, extract and copy/paste my files and folder into your Skyrim SE main folder if you downloaded through steam and haven't changed your steam install path from the default -- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition. Otherwise use this guide:

1. Download the Reshade 3.0.6 from here https://reshade.me/

2. Scroll to bottom of page and download whatever the latest version advertised is.

Run the .exe that you just downloaded. Probably best to copy it to your desktop or somewhere else first outside your downloads folder.

Follow the steps it tells you selecting yes everything it asks.

3. Select your "SkyrimSE.exe" which is in the main folder of the game. Probably in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition

4. Select the DirectX 10+ version after you select the "SkyrimSE.exe."

5. Run your game

As your game loads up, you should see a grey box popup in the top of the screen saying it's loading all the reshade effects.

Once it's done, hit "shift+F2" and follow the promps. The most important thing is to hit the plus symbol next near the top of the Reshade GUI and type any name you want.

Follow the other prompts until the boxes turn from red to black or grey or whatever indicates you're done with the very short tutorial.

You can leave your game open or close it for this next step.

6. Go back to your game's main folder, where the "SkyrimSE.exe" is and look for that file you just created with whatever name you gave. It should be a .ini file.

7. Open the .ini file and replace all the text with the text from my preset on this page.

Save the file. Run your game or alt tab back to it. And then do step 7 if you your game is still running.

8. Reopen the Reshade GUI with Shift+f2 and click the click "reload". The new effects should start loading with my custom settings.

9. PROFIT!

UNINSTALLING:

1. Delete the Reshade folder, dxgi.ini, dxgi.dll, and dxgi.log and AshenReShade.ini files from your game folder. That's it.

Enjoy, leave comments below if you're having trouble installing or better yet youtube a Resahde 3.0+ install guide. It's extremely easy.

You may notice a slight decrease in performance, but it should still be pretty similar FPS to what you usually get. The visual difference is night and day to me and I can't ever go back to vanilla.
