If so to fix the washed out colors go to Userdata > Graphic Settings. Open StudioNeoConfig with notepad and look for <StylePreset>Default</StylePreset>. If it does not say Default then change it to Default and save it.
@Pepsibro - Do you have honeyparty_01_plus installed? I ran into the blackscreen issue too but I after I reinstall this everything worked for me. Copy the contents in honeypart_01_plus and then apply the graphic patch again. See if that works for you.
Thanks. this worked. Now the only problem is that windowed fullscreen doesn't work lol
Also PSA, if you apply this patch and have some girls that use wideslider reapply WS before starting again. My DOA girls went to the shitter lol (or maybe I did something else that caused it?)
I'm sure the rim light is caused by directionalbacklight, but in this version I haven't manage to get this option working in studio Neo, alternatively, you can use shortcuthsParty to tweak down the rim light.
I am running into a problem, but I don't know where it stems from. I have applied the new patch to get the graphics settings to work in NEO, but it breaks StudioNEO. I can't even open it, it uses tons of memory and never gets past a black screen. Never ran into a problem with it before and I should have tons of ram.
Could it be from an old install? I am wondering if I should just start with a fresh install of everything. Even running it on the "Default" preset won't open.
It's not that big of a deal but I wonder if someone noticed the color skin on this patch being more "red-ish"? compared to the patch in vanilla HS. Style is at default btw.
EDIT: Forgot to clarify, i'm only using the graphic patch. I'm not using the 4K difuse. I also disabled it in config ini.
I know it's annoying but does someone have a preset to make the characters look glossy? I really like this effect but I'm a dumbass messing around with XML files, I managed to do some thing but it still feels normal to me... Thanks in advance.

You can tinker with all that in the UserData\GraphicSetting folder,now. I tinkered and made my own Preset file that produced a good balance between the available options.
If you'd like to go back to the way the old graphics patch looked, change your Config files to use "Preset_0" like this:
So, to put it simply, just change <StylePreset>Default</StylePreset> or whatever it's set as to Preset_0, instead of whatever you were using before. From what you said, I'm assuming it's Default?
If anyone's interested, here's the more balanced preset I made for myself. Just throw it into the UserData\GraphicSetting\Style directory with the others and follow the instructions I gave before by naming it Preset_3, instead.
According to いつまでもプロトタイプ's finding, menu will only disappear with certain scale factor, and he provide a button to increase the scale factor by 0.01 in his plugin, after several clicks you'll find a working scale factor.
So, here's a tutorial to directly launch the studio with a working scale factor. Start with an initial guess <UIscale>2.4</UIscale>, the menu does not appear.
Now, open the ShortcutsHSParty window, click "変更" button, after 4 clicks, menu appears. Now I can set <UIscale>2.44</UIscale>

Pretty useful, right? Definitely an improvement over his previous version, though a part of me wonders if it's possible to get a slightly brighter curve? I know we can adjust the .PSD files for the Curve, but I'm not sure how to go about that.
By looking at the files, it seems that SampleCurve2 is a bit darker than SampleCurve?
*Edit* - I actually mean darker curve, because (duh) I just now realized that setting "Curve" to "0" eliminates the use of a Curve, altogether.
P.S.: Agh, seems the ShortcutsHS mod is going to need an English translation.

@TMV - I agree with BT, your Preset setting is quite nice! I'm also using it at the moment. The default bloom was too vibrant for my tastes, but yours is just perfect!
Thank you for ShortcutsHSParty!! This fixed the directionalbacklight for me and now am able to control it! And now I am also to control the god ray's, color, intensity and everything else. This plugin was essential in the old studio and I'm so glad it made it's way to NEO. Pressing Spacebar to remove UI is also back!
Hello, I'm having troubles using this mod in the new 1.20 patch. I downloaded the link at the first page and installed it properly, then when I open the game it returns to patch v1.11 and it's no Honey Select Party anymore. I can still use all Party clothes and items, but can't save any character. It works perfectly without this mod, but the 4K skin is such an improvement... I'm sure I have done something wrong, can anyone help please? :)

Thankfully I played with this plugin a lot in the old studio so I remember which settings are and what they do. There are some differences from the old one but they are still very similar. Take a look at the pic below:
To save the lighting simply scroll down and you should see Save & Load. Type in a name (eg. Gwen) and hit Save and a some new buttons will appear (eg. Light_Gwen.xml) Click on these to load that setting.

All settings moved to UserData\GraphicSetting, the basic settings are more user-friendly, and it's much easier to share presets.
Now you can delete UserData\Config\HoneySelectConfig.xml.
