(Graphics Overhaul) Cinematic, near-realistic quality ReShade presets
🎨 **It was found that many presets were too bright and deviated too far from the artistic style of the game itself, resulting in lack of versatility and sometimes unnatural images. ** This ReShade preset has naturally rich colors and more depth to the light, making it look great both during the day and at night.
Before downloading, you can see how the new footage looks compared to the original.

🛠️ How to install
- **Download ReShade**:
- Go to download ReShade.
- 👉 **It is recommended to download the "Full Add-on Support Version"** as some other MODs (such as "Toggle HUD") may be used.
- **Download and unzip this MOD file**.
- **Run the ReShade installer**:
- Find the game's `HogwartsLegacy.exe`.
- ⚠️ **Note**: There are two `.exe` files in the game, please choose the first one located under the `Phoenix` folder.
- For example: `A:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\**Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\HogwartsLegacy.exe**`
- **Select Rendering API**: Click to select `dx10/11/12`.
- **Select Preset**: Select the preset you want to install (or modify an existing one) and navigate to the location of my `.ini` file.
- **Download Effect Pack**: Automatically download the effect pack file used by the selected `.ini` file (I recommend selecting all because I like to try different effects).
- **Start the game**: Press the `Home` button to bring up the ReShade menu.
- **Personalized Adjustment**: Everyone’s aesthetic taste and computer hardware are different. I recommend that you adjust it according to your own preferences.

🗑️ How to uninstall
- Just delete the `.ini` file in the `Phoenix` folder.

💡 **Usage Suggestions**: After installation, it is recommended to switch between different scenes in the game (castle, Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village) to feel the light, shadow and color changes brought by the presets, and then fine-tune the parameters according to personal preferences to obtain the most ideal game visual experience!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
