The Lychee Gshade preset by Jaechy is a visual enhancement filter designed for The Sims 4. It is widely used by the community to create an "aesthetic" or "Maxis Match" look, characterized by soft lighting and enhanced depth for gameplay and screenshots. Key Features

Prerequisites:

1. GShade Installed: Download the latest GShade installer from the official GitHub repository (note: always verify source safety; community shifts have occurred recently—some users now prefer ReShade with GShade shaders).
2. Game Access: FFXIV or any DirectX 9/10/11/12 game (though Lychee is tailored for FFXIV).

• Solution: Make sure the .ini file is not inside a secondary folder. GShade scans only the root gshade-presets folder and one level deep. Alternatively, click the refresh button (two arrows) in the GShade overlay.

Key Features of the Lychee Preset:

• Radiant Skin Tones: Unlike many presets that wash out or over-saturate faces, Lychee uses a custom skin-safe histogram.
• Lychee-Pink Highlights: Adds a very mild pink/red tint to sunlit areas, mimicking the blush of the lychee fruit.
• Optimized for GShade: Built specifically for GShade’s pipeline (though it works with standard ReShade with slight tweaks), ensuring lower performance impact than heavier presets like Neneko or Farelyn.
• Day/Night Versions: Usually includes two variants: Lychee - Day (bright, airy, pastel) and Lychee - Night (deeper blues, sharper shadows, soft moonlight).
• No Extreme Letterboxing: Keeps the full 16:9 or 21:9 aspect ratio intact, making it great for gameplay, not just gpose.

The Lychee preset is built with specific shaders to customize lighting and depth for screenshots and gameplay: Custom Depth Effects (MXAO): lychee gshade preset by jaechy by jaechy
