RTBP by CPVC → https://www.loverslab.com/topic/151957-real-time-body-physics/
This setup allows both RTBP and ReShade to function in The Sims 4,
despite both requiring d3d9.dll. It uses a custom proxy DLL that
loads both mods in sequence — ensuring no conflicts or crashes.
────────────────────────────
🎮 Intended For:
────────────────────────────
✔ The Sims 4 DX9 64-bit version (Tested on version 1.116.202.1030):
TS4_DX9_x64.exe
✔ ReShade 6.5.1 Addon build:
ReShade_Setup_6.5.1_Addon.exe
(Download from: https://reshade.me/#download)
Compatible with shader packs tested for Sims 4
────────────────────────────
✅ Safe-to-Use Shader Packs:
────────────────────────────
The following shader packs are tested and safe to use with Sims 4:
• qUINT
• SweetFX
• FXShaders
• Legacy Standard Effects
• AstrayFX
• OtisFX
• CShade
• AnamorphoFX / Fubax
Avoid using GShade, METEOR, RSRetroArch, or other OpenGL/experimental packs unless you know how to debug shader compilation errors.

📂 Setup Instructions:
────────────────────────────
1. Go to your Sims 4 game folder:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin
2. Rename your RTBP d3d9.dll to:
rtbp.dll
3. Rename your ReShade d3d9.dll to:
reshade_original.dll
4. Copy this d3d9.dll (the proxy loader) into the same folder.
✅ Your final folder should now contain:
├── d3d9.dll ← the proxy loader
├── rtbp.dll ← Real-Time Body Physics
└── reshade_original.dll ← ReShade 6.5.1 Addon
5. Launch The Sims 4.
✅ You should see:
- ReShade's overlay (press HOME)
- Working physics from RTBP

🔁 Notes & Compatibility:
────────────────────────────
• This setup works only with DirectX 9 mode
• Not compatible with other mods that also inject d3d9.dll
• If you update ReShade or RTBP, just reapply the renames
• Tested on Sims 4 x64 DX9 with ReShade 6.5.1 Addon and CPVC RTBP

This is for those who had trouble getting RTBP to work after updating both TS4 and ReShade to the latest editions like myself. Enjoy.
