Installation Steps:

Part 1 (Mandatory):
1. Download STLM 2.2.1
I realize that 2.2.1 has been removed from the Nexus, but it is still up over at moddb. 
Download here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/super-turbo-lighting-mod/downloads/stlm-221

If at some point STLM 2.2.1 is removed from ModDB, we can:

Option 1: Ask essenthy to please upload 2.2.1 (Why he doesnt on the nexus, I dont know) - You can either PM him or ask on twitter (Unlikely to obtain this way)

Option 2: Get the file from other users on the Nexus; this is a great community and shouldn't be hard to do (Most likely to obtain needed file)

2. Once you have STLM 2.2.1 - Copy the Mod (modTurbolighting) to your mods folder in Witcher 3 game directory (If you dont have a "Mods" Folder, create one)

Example of path: E:\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Witcher 3\MODS


Part 2 (OPTIONAL) - NOT REQUIRED BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Since I created different presets for every location, you have two options:

1. You can either change the files manually after you enter a new location (which isnt hard since the maps are so big and we dont travel out of them too often) - if that's what you want to do then skip this "Part 2" and jump down to "Part 3" below.


2. If you want the presets to change automaticly for you, you can download "Different SFX or ReShade Presets For Each Location by Murzinio" which is a separate mod that will change your ReShade automatically when you enter into a new location. If you decide to use Murzinios Mod, follow the steps on his page and use my files to overwrite his. Also be sure and endorse!

Download from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1827/?
You simply install and run the DifferentSFXPreset.exe in the background and this program will switcher your ReShade mid game automatically when you travel to a new region.

This is how your folder should look once installed:




Part 3 (Mandatory)
1. Download My File: Cinematic Realism ReShade V2 (Download Above)

2. Follow the steps included in the file for proper install. Everything should go into your x64 folder.
Example of path: E:\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\x64

3. Basic install goes like this: 
Copy Files into Witcher x64 folder ----> Select whether you want DOF or Not ----> Select whether you want the more Cinematic or Realistic Preset ----> Copy Files into LocationPreset Folder (if you are using Differnt SFX or ReShade Mod - See Step 3 below) or Copy the appropriate location files into your ReShade folder.

4. Make sure to ENDORSE AND VOTE FOR Cinematic Realism V2

See the Instructional images included with the main file for better install details.

These files may work with newer versions of ReShade, I dont know and dont really want to try and mess with it honestly; I just wanna play the game.



Part 4 (OPTIONAL) - NOT REQUIRED BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - THIS STEP WILL GIVE YOU BETTER WEATHER AND EFFECTS
I have worked with Retroboy51, the creator of Pollens, to create a custom weather setup which works alongside STLM.
All weathers in the game have been based around Cinematic Realism. So basically, NO MORE BAD LOOKING WEATHERS!!!

If you decide to play with Pollen - Cinematic Realism, you will get new new weathers and effects which have been hand picked to enhance Cinematic Realism.

1. Download Particles - Cinematic Realism: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2026/? - You will find the file called: Particles - Cinematic Realsim in the optional section.

2. Pollens doesnt have any scripts, so you should just be able to drop it in your mod folder and you are good to go. 

3. Make sure to ENDORSE AND VOTE FOR POLLENS




IN GAME SETTINGS:
1. Once in game, set up your Post Processing Effects as listed below:

IN GAME POST PROCESSING:
Bloom: ON
Anti-Aliasing: ON
Light Shafts: ON
Motion Blur: ON
Blur: ON
Ambient Occlusion: ON - HBAO+
Sharpening: OFF
Depth of Field: ON
Chromatic Aberration: ON
Vignette: ON

GammaValue=1.0 (Default Value)

PLEASE NOTE: The above in game settings are just recommendations. You can utilize any in game settings you wish, though if you do so, your game may not look like my screenshots.


In Game Functions:
Turn ReShade Off: Scroll Lock
Turn Depth of Field Off & On: F4 (For those who use DOF version)


Finished!


Known Issues with This ReShade:

Depth of Field: Depth of Field will get a little wacky in cut scenes. Text will blur out, etc. This cannot be fixed within ReShade. So, if you like to Play with Depth of Field, you will either need to learn to live with it, or you can disable DOF during cut scenes (Hit the F4 key). I recommend using Native Depth of Field by KNG: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1558/?
