About this mod

I wanted a grimmer grittier old west feel to the game while still keeping the beautiful effects of the world around you.

Permissions and credits

First download ReShade here:  
https://reshade.me/

Follow the simple instructions and complete ReShade installation 

Download my files and copy them into your Red Dead 2 directory (overwrite if asked)

Within my file "ReShade.ini" the directories may be listed in the location I have Red Dead Redemption 2 installed, if so, the following lines will need to be changed to your install location:

F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\Beautifully Grim Old West.txt
F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\reshade-shaders\Shaders
F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\reshade-shaders\Textures

Open up the "ReShade.ini" file (with notepad) and change the above directory lines for the 'Shaders' &  'Textures'  files, as well as the 'CurrentPresetPath' directory, to match your Red Dead Redemption 2 install location, save changes. (This can be done in-game using the ReShade menu if you are familiar with using that interface instead)

Start Red Dead Redemption 2, the ReShade Should now be active, Press 'Scroll Lock' to Activate or Deactivate the effect

Adjust 'TAA Sharpening' in Red Dead 2 graphics settings to your own personal preference

If the ReShade is not active do the following:

Press 'Insert' to bring up the ReShade menu

Select 'Beautifully Grim Old West' in the ReShade drop down menu in-game

If anyone requires help or has any feedback, please comment, thanks for trying out my ReShade Preset
