❓ FAQ
- **Compatibility**: I am currently using ReShade **5.6.0** version. It is most likely compatible with newer versions. It is recommended to try the latest version directly, and if you encounter problems, return to the version I used.
- **The picture is dark? ** This preset is designed to create a **cinematic home environment** look and feel. If you are in a bright environment, you may need to increase the brightness settings in the game appropriately.

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.
