Wow, August 2017 File of the Month Mod! Thank you all for the support. 




(Obsidian V2.5 Preset in Shot) 


Welcome to my newest ENB for Skyrim Special Edition. While I love the look I have achieved with my SkyrimSE Re-Engaged ENB, I wanted to work on something that is not quite as colorful but, achieves a sense of a realistic look. I wanted it to feel colder in Skyrim instead of a warmer feel. I currently have presets for COT, Vivid Weathers, Dolomite/NLVA II, Vanilla Lighting, Mythical Ages, Surreal Lighting and Rustic weathers which will help make your game have more of an atmospheric feel no matter what version you choose. With Natural View Tamriel ENB you will find that colors are lighter in nature but, not overly saturated. You should feel a chill in the air. I used bloom to bring on a more atmospheric feel to the environment. If you are coming from my Re-Engaged ENB. Don't expect the same look as far as colors. You may be disappointed. This is not a fantasy ENB. 

I truly hope that you will enjoy this new ENB preset!! Let me know what you think.

Night Eye Fix Adjustment

The Nighteye Fix is designed and tuned for Vanilla Nighteye. However, depending on your mods you are using such as predator vision or better vampires the nighteye/vampire vision might not fully trigger with ENB with the current default settings. You will have to tune this in yourself. See the video or screenshot I have posted below to see how to do it. (Link for Full Size Photo: NightEye Adjusting )

This should set the new trigger point for your nighteye/predator/vampire vision. 




Brightness- I recommend leaving at the default location a.k.a 1.0 in your skyrimprefs.ini. Easiest way to adjust brightness when use ENB is through the ENB menu in game (Shift+Enter) and then under colorcorrection adjust brightness.

SSAO-SSIL- If you are using my Full Quality/Quality presets I recommend disabling the vanilla SSAO via the graphics options if you are trying to save FPS. 

DOF- If you are using my Full Quality preset I recommend disabling vanilla DOF via the graphics options. 

AA- As of V2.0 I have added in SMAA. It is on by default. It is up to you if you want to use just SMAA or use SMAA with TAA or FXAA. You can disable SMAA as well by change the option at the top of the enbeffectpostpass shader in the enb menu. 

I do recommend a mod call bethini which is a good tool to easily adjust graphics settings beyond the vanilla graphics menu and without having to go into the ini files. Check it out here: BethINI

1. I am getting frame rate drops and/or stutters.

ENB for SE is not equal when compared to Oldrim ENBs. So, somes performance may vary. You can try switching from windowed to borderless or vice versa. Additionally, you could disable in-game vsync and use driver to force vsync

2. Night Eye or Predator Vision does not work.

Night eye fix is now included within ENB. But, it was tuned around vanilla nighteye effect. Personal adjusting of setting may be required if using a mod that affects nighteye or vampire sight. In game bring up the menu (Shift+ENter) and expand enbeffect section and under Night Eye adjust brightness, saturation and contrast for your preference. 

3. Nights are too dark or not dark enough.

Unfortunitely I am very limited with SE ENB binaries. However, you can adjust night by a quick click of a button. See folder 3 in the download file to see how to quickly adjust nights and even interiors. Also you can adjust night and/or interiors via the in-game ENB menu then expand enbeffect and scroll down to nights or interiors and adjust settings there. 

4. Overall image is too dark or bright

Make sure to calibrate your monitor. Unfortunitely, when I create an ENB I can't take into account all the different monitors. For example those with IPS monitors will find colors darker and richer vs what I see on my TN panel monitor. 

5. How do I disable Bloom or DOF

Open the in-game ENB menu by hitting shift+enter and uncheck the lines bloom and Depth of Field and hit save towards the top of the menu. 

6. Was is your Depth of Field such a big FPS compared to other ENBs with Depth of Field

I use a different depth of filed shader by Marty McFly that includes the SSAO effect. So, actually my Depth of Field is SSAO and Depth of Field. Folder 3 in the download file shows how you can easily change that to have one effect or the other. 

7. Will you be making a realistic preset for other weather mods

Not sure yet. I want to see how this does first. 







For most Bethesda for the great game.

ReShade Team- For the ReShade Effects

Marty McFly - For Enhanced Depth of Field Shader with DOF/SSAO
