Let me know the shaders you end up downloading, I’m always looking for new ones 🙏 My favorites are mazarinesims’s Diamond (this is the vibrant bright one you see in basically all my videos lol), Simdle’s October Mist, and mellindi’s Summer Pop
microsoft directx10/11/12 are for people who have drivers on their computers (nvidia or AMD graphic cards) and their computer is compatible with using DX 11. If when you go to the main menu in the Sims 4 and at the bottom right of the screen, you'll see the patch update of the game and which version of the game being used i.e (version 1.109.185 DX11). I don't think it would cause issues. It's just the version of the game that you have that is compatible with your computer. I hope I made it clear. I just researched it on my own and I'm going to try it out.
Weirdly enough, it looks like Reshade bugs my game lmao. Prolly bc of all my mods. The Trait hexagons in CAS entirely vanished until I uninstalled it, rip me XD This tutorial is aawesome tho, easy and not rambling for 20 minutes :3
whaatttt?? I have never heard of that happening! I have hella mods and CC too and haven't run into any issues. I'm so sorryyyyy nooooooo And thank you because ya girl can definitely ramble lmfao but I hate that when I'm watching a tutorial or guide video. Don't mind it so much in let's plays or livestreams obviously but not when I'm trying to learnnnn lol
@@UmmmFox Lol, it just seems like ReShade mixed with some other mods I have installed. It's funny to discover new bugs ngl. I'm not too bothered by it tho :3 Yw lmao, I feel that. I can *t a l k* too ehe. *Exactly,* more people need to do that. Like lets not tlak for 20 minutes about nothing before showing step one. Always appreciate someone not doing that when I see it :3
i keep getting a “failed to compile” error for multiple shaders. i literally can’t find anything to fix this. also my reshade looks weird. i have a pretty good and powerful gaming pc
ive had that for years, i have yet to fix it however to remove it on your game you just press windows and come back on your game and it disappears and you can still have your reshade on you just have to do that everytime you load a new game
Also experiencing the same issue right now. multiple shaders that failed to compile. All the presets i’ve tried out look different from the previews. And i don’t think it’s my laptop either since i have gaming one. Have you figured it out?
This just happened to me after I moved my game to an internal SSD drive. You need to go into your game folder (usually in Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 4/Game/Bin" and you should see some files titled ReShade, and a folder called reshade-shaders. Delete all of those files and the folder, uninstall ReShader, then reinstall. Basically making a fresh install :)
Hey love! You’ve probably fixed this already but for anyone who runs into this issue, go to your game folder, find reshade file, right click and select properties, then click security, then hit edit, and make sure the box that says “full control” is checked. :)
I did everything correctly and mines also didn’t show up when I logged in. I pushed the home button and it’s still not showing up for me, does anyone know how to fix it? It’s started doing this after the update
please update me if you found a fix! my reshade has been fine and after i updated my game after the newest update and my reshade not longer pops up when i log in
look in your game options in graphics, and there should be a directx 9 option! if it’s unchecked then that’s probably the problem. lol i was struggling too
Hi! I do have one question with the 'home' button to access the shader menu. The 'home' button on my laptop is the left arrow key and not a separate button. I've tried everything I could think of and I still can't access the shader menu in my game. So if you know how I can access the menu using a different button or how to access the 'home' key please let me know. EDIT: Nvm I found out how to fix my "problem". Btw great tut
I did everything correctky nd everything seemed to be working perfectly untill i did the last step getting the shader in game and then the game freezes completly and crashes... How can i fix this? is anyone else facing this problem?
yes it is but you might need to use direct 11 for it to work i tried to use reshade in my cracked game and it hasnt worked yet but on a reddit post it had a bunch of tips on how to get it to work so i am trying them all now
hi, i have reshade now and im wondering if presets that has a different version from reshade is still compatible? like the Preset made for Reshade version 5.8.0
Hi! Personally, I've never had any problems using shaders made in a previous version Reshade with the latest version. From the two minutes of research (googling) I did for your specific question, it looks like most shaders that were compatible with 3.0.8 and up are still good with Reshade 6.2. I thinkkkkk they added a feature when you update your Reshade to the latest version it keeps your already installed shaders too!

@@kaykay2714 sadly I haven’t I don’t know what to blame as the sims is buggy in itself but hopefully we figure it out soon🙏🥲

Ooooo that's a good question though, I forget so many people use laptops for Sims! Did you find the F12 answer too? Haha
@@UmmmFox I used the Fn key and the 'home' key to fix it but my laptop is to low-end to run shaders anyways
I did everything correctky nd everything seemed to be working perfectly untill i did the last step getting the shader in game and then the game freezes completly and crashes... How can i fix this? is anyone else facing this problem?
i have a laptop, i dont know what's the home button , help how can i do it?
its the small keys on your laptop near where your numbers are hope that helped
i cant uninstall some of the reshades i found it says i need permision from the administrator
Hey, is it possible to do that with the Game-cracked?
hii, yes it is
I believe so!
ooo thank you for answering, I wasn't sure myself 🙏
yes it is but you might need to use direct 11 for it to work i tried to use reshade in my cracked game and it hasnt worked yet but on a reddit post it had a bunch of tips on how to get it to work so i am trying them all now
@@mxmiii4have you figured it out? i can’t get it to work :((
I don't see button 'download' below all the shade I saw. can you please tell me where to find it?
I can look at the post only, not download :(
Sims 4 recently updated to dx11 now and its causing some load issues for a lot of people
Do yk how to fix it? I did everything correctly but reshade still isn’t popping up
@@skylarwalker207 I ended up using an older version like 5.9 and it loaded fine
@@sm0rie how did you install an older version?
@@laylapaul11 I just googled it and looked through forums. Sometimes ppl will link it so that it's easier to find but it took me a minute to look
You could also switch back to DirectX9 in the Game Options menu - I had to do that anyway cause DX11 made my game laggy.
hi, i have reshade now and im wondering if presets that has a different version from reshade is still compatible? like the Preset made for Reshade version 5.8.0
also, can i use reshade while i have mods like twinkle toes and presets both present in-game? or do i have to delete my lighting mod?

Twinkletoes is a lighting mod, right? Lighting mods don't conflict with shaders, I use several of both myself with no issues 🙏
can i also use boho dreams by neecxle with this version of reshade?
@@UmmmFox hi, thank you so much for the guide! this definitely helped me out a lot
aww man i didn’t work
Nvidia app past filters
Please help! It says dxgi.dll already exists but doesn’t belong to reshade, what am i supposed to do?
Go into your game’s bin folder and rename the existing dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll ☺️
