About this mod

This ENB was created for those who want their game to look both realistic and cinematic, without overdosing on bloom or colors.

Permissions and credits
VERSION 3!
This Version is more dark and cinematic, while sticking the the normal SugarSweet brown style. Looks Great, Performance is pretty good
(45-55 FPS on my GTX 770 and 35-40 in Grassy Areas)
For better performance, press Shift+Enter and turn ALL ANTI-AILIASING, EXCEPT EDGE AA OFF, the ENB uses injectSMAA so it won't look too different.

VERSION 2 IS OUT
This Version is more summer time/happier for greener, brighter days.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
This ENB was created for those who want their game to look both realistic and cinematic, without overdosing on bloom or colors.
