About this mod

Performance hit: about 12 FPS. Minimal set of effects which are carefully selected to maintain high image quality. Video of actual gameplay inside, recorded on Medium/Ultra settings.

Permissions and credits
Why no screenshot?
I believe video is far superior than screenshots in exhibiting the preset. And feel free to upload your screenshots if you get any good ones.

General Information

What's special about Simple ENB?
The concept of this preset is to get the most out of every single FPS drop.
On both my GTX 660 Ti 3GB gaming desktop, and my GT 320M 1GB laptop, the performance hit is about the same: around 12 FPS outdoor, slightly faster in some areas and indoor.

Is my machine good enough for ENB?
You need to be able to run vanilla at least 30 FPS to be BARELY playable with this ENB preset. However you can try playing on lower settings like Medium (on which many of the scenes in the video were recorded), it still makes significant difference. Remember to turn of AA everytime you change settings!

Installation

Mandatory
1. Download ENB binary v13.7.13 from http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v13713.htm, extract everything under "WrapperVersion" into game folder, overwrite all.
2. Download Simple ENB from here MANUALLY, extract everything into game folder, overwrite all.
3. Install ENB Series Helper Mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36318//?
4. Set below settings in SkyrimPrefs.ini:
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bShadowsOnGrass=1

5. Turn off ALL Antialiasing, Anisotropic Filtering in Skyrim Options or video card driver control panel.

Essential
This preset is developed with CoT and RLO, you can run without them but the visual will be different.
1. Climates Of Tamriel v3.1
2. Realistic Lighting Overhaul 4.0.7c

Optional
1. Dynavision for depth of field effect, almost zero performance loss.

Patch
Not critical, but you will need it if you are a perfectionist:
1. Skyrim particle patch for ENB: install this if you find incorrect brightness on textures. e.g. bright water foam, plants or doors at night.
