GShade Installation Guide (Sims 4)
because I am unhinged and hate watching tutorials/reading instructions I wanted to make a quick guide on how I installed gshade! this guide is gonna assume you already removed reshade but if you haven’t yet please go and do that and backup your presets into a folder somewhere!! this is the video I watched for that
Install Gshade from their website >here< and run the .exe
Follow the wizard setup and select the game you want to install gshade on, in this case it’s the Sims 4 (usually in the Origin Games folder).
You will be prompted to input some settings:
Tumblr media
You will then be asked to select a hooking, I selected Normal Mode for this, and my gshade is working fine so I don’t know the benefits of the others ✌️
I left all the other options as is and decided to not use the Final Fantasy presets that come with gshade. But if you want to use them you can.
Open up Gshade Control Panel on your desktop and click ‘TOOLS’. This is how to convert your reshade presets to gshade presets. Launch the converter and select the folder where you stored your presets.
Don’t worry as gshade will create a backup for you, but now the presets in that folder will be gshade compatible.
Move these presets into your game by The Sims 4> Game> Bin> gshade-presets> Custom (If you’re familiar with reshade you will find this easily)
And there you have it you have Gshade! Open up your game and see if it works if not then I have no idea why as this is the exact steps I took sorry! One thing I urge you to do though is after removing reshade open sims to MAKE SURE that you actually did remove it sucessfully, as you don’t want to have both. Gshade so far has been quicker and easier for me to use, it only just lagged a bit the first time I loaded my preset and set it up, but since then it’s been fine.  ✌️
- my Ko-Fi btw if anyone wanted to help me out I’d really appreciate it! 😘 mwah!
