Insanity ENB is my personal adaptation from the legendary DAHAKA's ENB, so first of all I would like to say  BIG THANKS to Dahaka Mod for giving me  permission to use his great preset as base. All the main credits for the original work go to him. This is a Fantasy, exotic and impressive preset , with multiple weathers support, strong colors and contrast.

In the Skyrim folder, delete: enbseries folder, d3d9.dll ; enbhost.exe ; enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini . In your mod manager uninstall the Insanity ENB Data files. 

- UPDATES

To update to a new version of Insanity ENB, in your Skyrim Folder delete enbseries folder and enbseries.ini file and install the same folder and file from the current version of Insanity ENB main files. Don't need to delete enblocal.ini file nor uninstall Data files.

- PERFORMANCE

This is a HEAVY ENB preset!  I recommend at least a GPU like GTX 970 (or equivalent) to run it  with playable framerate. With my specs  (Intel i5 4690 3,5-3,9 Ghz ; GTX 1070  8gb VRAM and 16 gb RAM)  I'm running the game + this preset with 45 -60 FPS almost all the time (1920 x 1080 resolution), but FPS drops occurs in some places. Consider to disable Depth of field effect in ENB ingame menu (shift + Enter) if you need more FPS.
