IF YOUR GSHADE ISNT WORKING: make sure edge smoothing is OFF. If that doesn’t work, try opening the app from files meaning program files/ EA games/ sims 4 / game / bin / TS4x64 ! this should work - it’s the only thing that worked for me after hours of trying Also make sure u pressed DX9 and none of the other options when installing!

I always find it more helpful to keep the version numbers on any mods I download so I know which last version I already have installed when I go to redownload and update the mods, so for that reason deleting the "1.2.3_" from the ReShade .ini seems like an unnecessary step that just comes down to personal preference, but doesn't have any real effect. Just commenting it because I see a lot of people say 'oh just delete this version number from the file name' but they don't mention it's just an optional aesthetic preference for your file names. Also at the Presets timestamp, around 11:10, I got really confused seeing the Off.ini file originally start off inside the Custom folder and then you quickly move it outside the Custom folder but don't say anything about moving it lol. I reloaded my game a few times after following this tutorial to see if the Off.ini file placement (inside or directly outside that Custom folder) matters and it does not seem to have any effect. So this seems like another optional aesthetic preference for how people want to organize their files. The GShade menu didn't have any automatic pop-ups for me when I loaded the game with it for the first time, so if anyone else has difficulty figuring out how to get the menu to initially open for the first time, try pressing the [Shift] plus [Backspace] keys on your keyboard and that should open the GShade menu. Then you can change the hotkey to your liking in the menu's settings. Lastly (sorry for the long message, geez lol), thank you sooooooo much MissLollypopSims!!! This tutorial is so helpful and easy to follow. I've tried watching a few other tutorials on how to install GShade and ReShades, and they all left me so frustrated or confused I nearly gave up hope of ever trying to install this, but your video helped me. I could cry, my game looks so pretty now, like I literally feel close to tears from happiness, this is gamechanging, thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!

Ah, I'm so glad I saw this video in my sub feed. Installing GShade is fine; it's when I try to add presets that I get lost, so this is perfect. Also, for those who use Microsoft Edge browser like me, when downloading the reshade effect shader toggler and get denied, if you over the warning in downloads, three little dots will show up to the right, so just click that and it'll give you the option to "keep" the .ini file regardless. 😊

If anyone is experiencing the problem of not being able to enter the gshade menu no matter what combos they try, here's what I ended up having to do (I switched to reshade tho, I tried gshade cuz I had the same problem with reshade, but ended up going back to it, since I couldn't make gshade to work no matter what) I noticed my game is running on DirectX11 instead of DirectX9 (what I've been installing the game on following the tutorial). I wasn't able to select DirectX11 when installing for some reason, so maybe try switching the game to DirectX9 and it might work that way then (settings, game option, graphics) If you do want to switch to reshade, just install the program with DirectX 10, 11, 12 selected (second option) and I had no problem with the reshade bar showing up for me (thank god cuz I spend 3 hours trying to make this all work)

**IF YOUR GSHADE MENU DOESN’T SHOW UP** Make sure your sims 4 game matches the DX setting selected @6:11. In the tutorial @MissLollyPopSims selected DX9 but if you did like me and selected DX11 (most compatible with newer computers) then you will need to enable DX11 in the sims 4. You can do this by going to the EA App and right click the sims 4 icon, under the menu tab you should see manage and then click properties. Under properties you should see a text box. Type inside “-dx11” (no quotation marks, keep the negative/minus sign ahead of dx11). Then hit save. Open up game and voila! The gshade menu should appear. Unless you change the corresponding hotkey (tutorial here @ ) its default should be shift + backspace, which you can use to open and close the menu whenever playing or taking screenshots. For those who want to revert back to dx9 or disable dx11. You simply follow the steps above to get back to the EA App and delete “-dx11” in the text box. Hit save, and now your game no longer has DX11 enabled. Hope this helps ❤

If my instructions still aren’t clear EA Answers HQ has a great tutorial on this. Honestly, it’s really easy and can be changed in 3 small steps. But still if you need help, a quick Google search on “how to update sims 4 to DX11” should pull up the tutorial.

Awesome tutorial! I followed it all the way through and got it all in. My only issue is it appears the Reshade Effect Toggler isn't working. I still see shadows behind the UI. Any tips?

Thanks so much❤️️ When you go into the addons section does the ReShade toggler show up there with a tick next to it?

@@maliamolck8635 Oh that's even more weird.. these are some of what could be the issues according to the creators post: So far here are the things that can cause the issue: > Post processing Effects is disabled (must be enabled). > Edge smoothing is enabled (must be off/disabled). > Selected Vulkan/DXVK API during Reshade/Gshade installation (must select DirectX 9). Maybe you could check these options and see if any of these apply to you?

I''ve followed your tutorial to a T but I'm still having some trouble. I don't get the banner when I load up the game and none of the buttons seem to work! I have this issue with reshade as well so I'm not sure if it's conflicting with a mod but I use the same mods as many popular creators. :(

😭 help plss For some reason after clicking the “install” for gshade I get this message that pops up saying “ Gshade was not able to install a symlink to your selected game. This usually means that your drives filesystem dose not support symlinks “ Then it says “please note that if this not the only game use gshade with you may need to install or readd gshade to your game saying the gshade installer or gshade control panel after any future gshade updates “

I had to figure this out, but you have to open the app itself and click on the sides where it has different tabs/settings. The uninstall will show up. Not sure if that makes sense, but you have to open the app/desktop app itself.
@HaleyShell9683 ай бұрын
I don’t know how to help with the issue of your game freezing, but to uninstall, you’re going to click on the Gshade app. For me, it’ll pop up with a yes or no option… click yes if it does for you and then it’ll pull up the home page. Go to the “Tools” tab and at the bottom it’ll say launch Uninstaller. Idk about the next steps because I haven’t tried uninstalling, but hope that helps!

ok this is super weird for me because i own sims 4 on both steam and ea, yet use it on steam. but when i open sims4 it opens with EA. do i uninstall EA? as well as when i opened my game, that bar at the top left didnt appear for me at all
@Vesperity8223 күн бұрын
You need to keep EA installed. The steam version will not run without the EA launcher. It is very silly in my opinion. I recently redownloaded the sims 4 and was so confused on why it wouldn't run. I forgot that I uninstalled the EA launcher. Once I put it back the steam Sims 4 loads up and yes the launcher pops up too.
