Use Lychee in areas with pastel colors—like Il Mheg or the Shirogane housing districts—to complement the preset's natural warmth. Final Thoughts
This isn't a crisp, high-definition "reality" preset. It has a lifted black level (often called a "fade"), which gives the image a matte, film-like appearance. It removes the harsh digital sharpness of the game engine, replacing it with something that feels like a scanned photograph from a memory.
Unlike many presets that lean either too dark (cinematic) or too bright (anime), Lychee finds a middle ground. It enhances contrast without crushing blacks, and it adds a subtle bloom effect that makes lighting feel atmospheric without washing out details.
Like most presets using MXAO or Depth of Field, you must disable Edge Smoothing in the The Sims 4 in-game graphics settings for the effects to compile and display correctly.
