About this mod

This ENB will overhaul the looks and feel of your game while keeping a great performance peek. This will work best while using NAT, Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel while offering a realistic and gloomy look.

Overview

Ever since I introduced myself to ENBSeries, I've always been intrigued to use an ENB to improve the overall quality of my game and make it feel modern and alive. But, I've always had one problem with ENBs provided on Nexus and they've always been to graphic intense on my GPU and performance, that my game was just not really bearable to play at 30fps especially in combat and tough intense situations. This goes for a playthrough of 100+ mods and lots of things added in which will already be taxing on my FPS, but since I manage to play a constant 60fps without ENBs, I've always been annoyed by the blandness of the graphics and looks of the game.

So let's get down into detail of what the ENB will change.

<> Skies will look more crisp and more blue (As seen below)
<> Clouds will have a more fluffy look
<> Gives ambient shading to grass, trees, mountains, etc.
<> Trees are clearer to see and more sharp to the eye
<> Gives a vivid look to colors and makes them feel more realistic

Notice

To make it look the way it did in the screenshots, I used a couple mods to enhance the looks alongside with the ENB. You can find them mods listed below.

<> Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel - Highly Recommended (Otherwise might look cloudy and not so natural and clear)
<> Realistic Water Two - Makes the water feel more fluent and smooth giving a nice realistic look with the ENB

Installation

The installation process is very simple in itself, and to be honest I kinda really shouldn't need to explain it. But, I'm going to so here it is.

<1> Install the main file
<2> Extract files somewhere, I.E. your desktop
<3> Take all the files you extracted and place them into your SkyrimSE directory


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recommendations

So, to make this look like it does exactly in the screenshots, you will need to use NAT, Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel. It is not required but highly recommended as I made it so it would work around with it to give it the natural and sharp look it has. I'll also leave a few mod links below to spice up your game even more and make it look like the true Tamriel and natural wild woods it should be. 

<> Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel - Highly Recommended (Otherwise might look cloudy and not so natural and clear)
<> Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin - Great for grass fields (ENB is somewhat taxing on Whiterun already)
<> Skyrim Flora Overhaul - Amazing for new trees, grass, plants and such
<> Realistic Water Two - Makes the water feel more fluent and smooth giving a nice realistic look with the ENB


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compatibility

Should be fairly obvious with what is compatible and what is not but I'll list off what I think is and isn't. If you find a mod that messes up the lighting, bluriness, gloom, bloom, sun rays, clouds, etc. please report them in bugs and I'll make notice of it right here and list it.

Compatible
<> NAT, Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel
<> Verdant, A Grass Plugin
<> Skyrim Flora Overhaul
<> Enhanced Lights and FX (Not Compatible w/NAT; Not recommended either)
<> Any visual and graphical mod (Varies and depends, but may screw up lighting and other affects)

Incompatible
<> Any other ENB preset (Choose only one preset)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much of a performance impact will this have?
A. Considering the fact it ran like my game didn't even have mods with this ENB unlike other FPS sucking ENBs, it should run without much of a performance impact.

Q. Can I tweak the settings and effects of this ENB to fit my own personal needs?
A. Sure, just don't re-upload it and take credit of it.

Q. My game doesn't look exactly like the ones in the images. How do I fix this?
A. To be quick honest, it shouldn't unless if you have some other mods that changes things graphics wise, I was also running on low graphics while taking these            screenshots.
