Version 2.5
- Patrician ENB 2.5 content - For latest enbseries 0.453 Skyrim LE - All 10 rainy weathers have now dedicated settings. 10 unique rainy weathers! Period. All of them have dedicated settings and a unique athmosphere. Custom raindrops, custom dusk/dawn/ sunrise/ sunset/ day/ night. Explore the whole map to trigger them all ! In addition, the wet effect has been improved and rebalanced. Finally, i removed the antialiasing on the rain. It just looks a bit more grainy and simply better. Without the rain antialiasing, performances also increase during these specific weathers. - All caves have now a dedicated lighting template. Custom lighting. - In all forests, the direct lighting for sunsets and sunrises has been reworked and improved. All has been edited according to the sky color and sun. - Kres' weather improved ( the weather with big opaque grey/ blue clouds and strong white sunrays). Better global lighting. - Regarding memory allocation for highly and proprely modded game. I’m running the AutodetectVideoMemorySize since several months. It works very good, easy, ultra stable and efficient. So, if you want to get rid of all calculations, just use my enblocal with the auto calculation memory. So, now, during the loading screen, you should see the model of your GPU and the « available texture memory » like that : So, in my case ; Model GPU : GTX 1080 Available texture memory : 24416 - All inn/ jarlhouse/ house interiors night have now a stronger ambient lighting curve. Darker athmosphere (curve x2) - Northpoint weather support added - Wyrmstooth weather support added - Immersive Fort dawnguard weather support added - A new powerful sunrise/sunset during one coast weather..made by Kong.

Version 2.4
- Hi and welcome, Today, we have a new version of Patrician ENB. The version 2.4. It's made to work and updated for enbseries 0.453 Skyrim LE available on ENBdev. Here: http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm So, As usual, download latest enbseries 0.453 for Skyrim LE and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. My enb updates are made to work with latest enbseries and i always try to improve the visual of my enb by finding new visuals, settings and technics. Patrician ENB is a clear, natural, sharp and precise ENB. I also feel it very athmospheric with all unique weather variations. Well, i hope you'll find it comfortable and enjoyable. Have fun! Patrician ENB 2.4 Update: - For enbseries 0.453 Skyrim LE - Patrician ENB 2.4 has now stronger light sources by night, dawn and dusk. I tweaked settings as best as i can to make things blended, logic, appealing and clean of course. In order to have perfect results, Lanterns of Skyrim users have now a dedicated Lanterns of Skyrim - Patrician ENB esp in "optional files". This esp mainly edit radius, color and fade of all Lanterns of Skyrim to match my point lighting effect. I have permission from MannyGT to use and to upload my own esp version. Thank you MannyGT. So, if you use L.O.S, use this new esp. I personaly believe that this new choice improves visuals a lot. If you don't use Lantern of Skyrim, you have nothing to do. The ENB will work out of the box. Easy. - Patrician ENB 2.4 has now 2 new unique misty weather variations and i really like them. They are very.....very thick. The first one is called "TheMist" and will be seen in forests mainly. To create it, i was mainly visually influenced by a Fallout 4 vivid weather. It's a kind of copy but with DX9 and in Skyrim LE. That's unique. The second one is called "The Mist2" and will be seen...somewhere on the map... and it's rare. It's the thicked you can find in the entire game. In addition, this one has its own sunset/ dusk which is simply astounding and also a crazy night with a perfect ambiant lighting and color (see images below). For this one, i was mainly influenced by the movie "The mist". I hope you'll see them. I put a lot of love into them. - Weather support for "The Immersive College of Winterhold " Latest version 6.2 Unique ICOW weathers/ lightings are now recognized by Patrician ENB. Exterior and interior. You'll have these new variations (a new snowy weather for example) only and if you actualy use The immersive college of Winterhold (See visual below). - Patrician ENB 2.4 has a slightly different organization regarding files...mainly the weather support section. Be sure to remove properly any previous versions of the ENB. Thank you. - The included gameplay Depth of field has now a GUI support. Like that you can edit the blur effect a bit for your own tastes. It's also useful if you wanna place the focus point differently according to the camera/ character. For screenarchery purpose, i recommend optional depth of field available in optional files. - For both the ENB organization and the Depth of field support, i want to credit Odin for the help. Thank you https://www.nexusmods.com/users/64024781 - Natural Lighting Vivid Athmospheric_ TS has been updated with all features of the normal NLVA.esp. So, if you are a True Storms user, please use this esp for a perfect combination between NLVA and true storms. For those who want to know, yes, "Natural Lighting Vivid Athmospheric_ TS" replaces "Natural Lighting Vivid Athmospheric.esp". - Fire effect improved (better setting) - Weathers transition improved (better settings/ gradient, fog , mist, sun, etc...) - Better blending for volumetric fogs during rainy weathers. - The Skylighting "filter quality" effect has been increased to "High" in the Patrician ENB normal version. Low and medium are definitly too striped. I didn't notice any performance drop with this change. - Vigilant 1.6 weather support updated. Vigilant 1.6 received an new update with a important weather change. So, I redo my settings to match this new last version. I hope you'll like. - Darkend and Summerset isles weather support updated. The Summerset isles version is particularly beautiful. I recommend. Regards Marmotte
Version 2.3
- Hi and welcome Today, we have an ENB update. In order to have the full effect, you need to download the latest enbseries 0.449 for Skyrim LE on ENBDev http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm. As usual, download latest enbseries 0.449 for Skyrim LE and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. My keywords are always sames : precision, gameplay and variations. This update is a bit special. Indeed, You now have a new effect called SSR. This means Screen Space Reflection. This new feature can be seen on water only and this is a huge improvement to the game. Visuals are better and this new feature improves Realistic Water 2. SSR simply adds more reflection, details, more objects, more landscapes on water surface. Interiors and exteriors. SSR also reflects characters. ( Images are made with Patrician ENB normal) SSR distribution: Patrician ENB Kaiju : SSR + SSR antialiasing + SSR high quality Patrician ENB Normal : SSR + SSR antialiasing + SSR medium Patrician ENB Feather : no SSR In order to have the best SSR visual impact, i felt the need to change my water settings (reflection, fresnel, mudiness, ...). So, water is different now. I think it's better. In addition, in Patrician ENB, the water is fully "weather supported". This means that you have different water visuals according to climates. It's varied. This means more or less waves, lighting and cubemaps. Well, explore the map and see changes. This brings a lot of athmosphere when exploring and this is also a "new weapon" for screenarchers. Improvements/ corrections Patrician ENB 2.3 : - Correction of the [IMAGEBASEDLIGHTING] during some weathers. - Particles are a bit reduce in interiors. - In all the ENB, night interiors and day interiors are now much more different. Day interiors are slightly brighter with soft lighting. Night interiors are now darker with warmer lighting. It's is also much more interesting for screenarchery. - Mines have now a unique lighting template (location). - Full weather/ lighting support for Forgotten Dungeons.....and it's creepy. - Improvement of the weather/ lighting support for all Hammet's dungeon Packs and for Skyrim Sewers. - Improvement of all dwemer ruin interiors. - Depth of field fade time increased just a bit. - The wet surface effect is now stronger. Well, that's all. I hope you'll appreciate all these new improvements and features.... but most importantly....happy gaming. Regards Marmotte
Version 2.2
- 13 October 2020, 4:55AM Patrician ENB Anniversary Edition 2.2 is available Hi, Patrician ENB is 1 year old! Yes, that's true, for 1 year I have edited, improved, developed, optimized and updated the enb. A lot of work and love went into it. To celebrate this occasion, the update must be unique and packed with new special content! I used this opportunity to thank every player who tried Patrician ENB. Kudos to players who posted kind messages too. I appreciate every little thing. A special thanks to screenarchers who use Patrician ENB to express their vision and creativity. As usual, Patrician ENB focuses on precision, realism and playability. Special attention has been paid to even the smallest details. Well, i hope the enb will suit you well and will follow you through your unique adventures. Screenarcher: Setsunae Screenarcher: YenolithicYardZone Screenarcher: Popkorn666 Installation: As usual, download latest enbseries 0.444 for Skyrim LE and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. When you start your game, you must see the correct ENB version (0.444) in the top left hand corner of your monitor....like that: Spoiler: Show News/ Content: - For enbseries 0.444 Skyrim LE http://enbdev.com/download.html - Integration of 11 new LUTs in the enbeffect.fx. All LUTs have been made from scratch. LUTs are very high quality - 4096 x 64. You can change LUTs instantly by simply changing the number to your desired LUT In addition, the LUT blender allows you to simply decide the strength of your current LUT in game. How does it work? + Open you ENBGUI in game (Shift+ Enter). Before this command, just use the "~" tilde key to freeze the screen with a Qwerty keyboard. For Azerty keyboard, use the "²" key. + search for the enbeffect.fx drop down menu and expand it. + Here you'll find the list of all the LUT names and their corresponding numbers. + 0 is default Patrician (the original palette) 1 - 11 are all LUTs. Spoiler: Show Credits: Meowbeard for the "Grey Fog" LUT KongeMeier for "Autumn" and "Back to Amber" LUT Immersive Vreee for " Vreeintage" LUT All other LUTs by me About LUTs: LUTs can be used by gamers and screenarchers. Consider them as optional. The most important is always the core ENB. Some LUTs like "Nordic hunter" or "The Somberlain" can be fully used to play the game. Other LUTs are more screenarchery oriented. It's up to you, your game, your taste. All I can say is that some LUTs are really good on characters and others on landscape. Happy gaming! - More weather variation/ more unique weather. I have expanded the number of weathers by degrouping them in the weatherlist. Now, you'll trigger unique and subtle changes according to regions. This means you can have up to 7 different weathers in one region. This brings diversity to the game between clear/ misty/ rainy/ cloudy weathers. You'll also see a bunch of new night variations. Everything triggers automatically upon your travels. And it just works If you want to test some new weathers, you can test them with the console command. example: fw 10A7A8, fw 10A7A5, fw 10E1E9, fw 10E1ED ....and more. If you are curious about all variations, you can open the weatherlist.ini in the enbseries folder. You'll also see that some rare weathers are unique to special places/ locations - The NLVA esp has been edited once again. Weather transitions are now longer. For example, it takes more time to switch between a cloudy weather and a clear weather. In addition, this also brings more possibilities for screenarchers! because you'll have longer transitions and therefore new lighting and color blends! - All speculars have been rebalanced - Some clear weathers have more direct lighting to impact the whole scene (without overexposure on the character) - Full weather/ lighting support for Hammet's Dungeon Packs. All settings are forced by location. All 32 dungeons (Skyrim + Solstheim) + Vominheim. Hammet's Dungeon Pack - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/86630 Land of Vominheim - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/100852 - Lighting support for the Haven Bag. Adapted lighting, ambient color, ambient lighting. Haven Bag - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/21454 - Less lumasharpen/ better sharpening. - I don't use the new effect "Normal mapping shadows". After testing and comparing it's simply not necessary in my ENB. - All weather support improved and updated (darkend, Summerset isles, Grey cowl, Rudra, Vigilant) - Wet effect highly improved and costs less fps. Raindrops are also a bit shorter. - I finally managed to find a solution and fix a bad sky gradient during the "heavy fog" night. So, during this specific night, gradients are now smoother (no lines). - Point lighting increased by 0.05 in all interiors. - Better Dyndolod support. I edited the OBJECT effect to blend all tree lods (flat, semi 3D or full 3D) for all weathers. Reminder 1: In order to generate your trees as Object, just change the value in Dyndolod_TES.txt (Dyndolod/ edit Scripts/ Dyndolod) : TreeLOD=0. Now, your tree lods will be Objects and will react to my settings for perfect blending. IF you generate your tree lods without this setting, then they will not react to the ENB and will look somewhat flat like in the vanilla game. I'd still recommend setting Lod brightness to -5 before generating. The faster your CPU is the faster they will be generated. - I re-edited the CHARACTERGLOW effect a bit to improve the RASS effect. This also helps with visuals for all flesh spells (Oakflesh, Stoneflesh, Ironflesh, etc...). - Finally, I managed to find a solution to activate the "big range" of the COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS effect without saturation on the magelight/ candlelight spell. For proper results on these spells, i recommend " Candlelight Magelight No Ugly Glow FX" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68648. Overwrite everything. In my ENB, the complex particle light effect is subtle and gentle. That's how i like it and it is also a solution for achieving a proper result between all meshes that use this effect (Magic, Magelight, Rudy HQ, Candlelight, Torches, Lanterns, etc...) - I updated my Skyrim.ini. Use them if you wish. There is a new setting for Lighting Shader. It fixes a bug on dirtcliffs with dyndolod (fDecalLODFade). - Now you'll trigger a minor lens effect. This effect can be seen in front of fire places, while holding a torch or when using powerful magic. It's not a strong effect but it's still visible and gives a nice touch to the scene. The lens effect also affects exteriors. It will react to bright skies for added effect. In addition it costs fewer fps compared to previous version so you'll have slightly better performance with this revision. Fell free to join my Discord. Share and chat about Patrician ENB. We also speak modding, good habits, textures and tips. You are welcome. https://discord.gg/fuxxweD Regards Marmotte
Version 2.1a
- Hi, Today, a new update. This version mainly contains some small fixes and improvements in order to make the ENB always clean and enjoyable. Thanks to several Patrician ENB users for all constructive feedbacks. As usual you need last ENB binaries 0.433 available on ENBDEV http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm Download last binaries and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. When you start your game, you must see the correct ENB version (0.433) in the top left hand corner of your monitor....like that. Spoiler: Show Content: - for last binaries ENB series 0.433 Skyrim LE - Visual improvement of the RASS support (snow, wet effect, ashes, underwater effect on body) - I fixed particles on water during one rainy weather - The enb contains all my weather variations of the Soul Cairn. Check my last video "Patrician ENB update" for a showcase of the Soul Cairn. You'll trigger several kind of athmosphere in the Soul Cairn. I think it's nicely done and matches perfectly to the place. - I fixed a weird bug some players had in Solstheim. Before, during one specific weather, when you casted spells on yourself, your character became ultra bright. It's now corrected and clean. - Now, the ENB will trigger 4 new clear weather variations in regions. Before, several variations were "grouped" in the ENB. Now, with new ENB series, i can create much more variations for each individual weather. These 4 new weathers have a NLA influence and are already in the NLVA esp. So, You just have more. All weathers trigger automaticly according to locations and time. - One new superb cloudy weather in the volcanic area with deeper and darker clouds. A new night as well. Neat! - And finally, a weather support for the mod "Project AHO" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/90276 Before, my enb was working fine in AHO......but we can do better AHO also uses some specific effects on meshes (lightsprites for example). So, a unique set of settings and colors are, in my humble opinion, an added value in AHO. All these settings are forced by locations. I'll probably improve settings in the future but the base is already good. Note about AHO: AHO will make a great use of your existing content. So, as usual, better is your Skyrim/Solstheim (meshes , textures).....better is AHO Thank you Regards
Version 2.1
- Patrician ENB 2.1 is available! Hi and welcome, Patrician ENB focuses on realism and playability. It must be comfortable as well. The goal is also to avoid any kind of saturation. Realist ENBS like mine are always very "sensitive" to your own content. For this reason, mod you game cleanly and patiently ( mainly on meshes and textures). As usual, the ENB is available in 3 different qualities: Feather (light version), normal and Kaiju (heavy version). In my humble opinion, use the normal version. It's just balanced on everything. Use the Feather version if you really need performances. Use the Kaiju version for screenarchery mainly. I can also tell you that my ENB is definitly sensitive to textures. So, my friend, choose the best content, it will be highlight by Patrician ENB. Content: - For last enbseries V 431 http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm As usual, download last binaries and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. Done! - All Forts (interior) have now a new unique setting. This setting was a request to make them warmer and a bit darker. Technicaly, all forts can be explored without torch/ lantern/ magelight. Use them mainly to find/ explore/ loot dark corners. Here is what to expect! Best result is with the load order "Relighting Skyrim " then "ELE". So, I made the change and these interiors looks better now. It's warmer and darker. Lightsources have more impact (curve 1.40 on ELE) and all forts are simply more lore friendly. - The ENB has a new depth of field. It's an auto focus DOF. It's a bit stronger than the old one but it's more comfortable to play. Performances are also improved. - Like forts, dwarven ruins or nordic ruins, Patrician ENB will now trigger a unique setting for all icy caves. Icy caves have poor natural lighting, so i managed to edit the ENB to make them more appealing, lore friendly, realist and mysterious. These caves have very strong reflection (because of ice) and you can also see clearly all walls transparency. I wanted something cold, wet and blue......and now you have that. Well, I think they looks great now and pretty unique. This setting only occurs in icy caves. Skyrim and Solstheim supported. - The [Windowlight] effect has been increase during some nights. - You have a new dusk in the tundra. It's unique and really neat. Here is what it looks like Spoiler: Show Looks great isn't it! This dusk is also a good solution to know if you have installed NLVA correctly. If you obtain this visual in the tundra, all is fine. If you never see this dusk, then you probably need to re-check your NLVA instalation. - Particles corrected in Markarth during clear nights. - RASS supported I edited the ENB to blend all RASS effects perfectly. I simply edited the [characterglow] effect in order to obtain a clean balanced effect. The mod is really cool and i strongly recommend it. Fell free to activate/ desactivate all effects as you desire. Personal note: As the ENB has already a lot of wet effects, i recommend you to remove the RASS wet effect. It's just too much. Well, make your own adjustements RASS https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/103218 - The ENB has a new balance between the skylighting/ direct lighting/ ambient lighting during all clear weathers. Mainly to improve realism and to avoid saturation. This new setting blends well all grass mods. - The water has been improved. The water now reflect clouds a bit more. This brings realism. The water is now more "bluish" and less "greenish". - "Specular from light" are a bit decrease...but are still active of course. It's a request and it makes sense. - High improvement of sunrays featuring all new sunray effects. Yes, new binaries have new effect on sunrays + new effect on mist. This allow me to polish the sun anytime. So, better dawn, sunrise, day, sunset, dusk. I also rediced the size of the sun as well. - All blue skies have been polished. The "blue" is now more natural....close to the reality. - I changed a bit all foggy weathers. Less mist but more particles. This helps to improve the look of this kind of weather (color, density, realism). New settings highlight the quality of NLVA . - Interiors, exterior days and exterior nights have each its own sharpening. The sharpening has been also refined. It's superb on high resolutions like 1440p or 2160p. It's also a bit better for 1080p resolution (AA friendly). - Whites are less white during nights. It's mainly useful for all kinds of magic (fire, frost, etc...). Tips for better performances in Skyrim LE In order to live the best experience with your game, you really need to adapt some settings according to your computer. These settings have a huge impact on your performances. 1) Your grass mod The density of your grass mod is demanding. The setting is in your skyrim.ini. Select the best value for your own comfort. --------------------- [Grass] iMinGrassSize=.... --------------------- Lower numbers (20, 30, 40 or 50) give a lushy effect (best visual) but hit performances. Higher numbers (60, 70, 80 or 90) generate less dense grass and fps will be high. Personaly, i like to use 60 or 70 for gameplay. It's a good balance between visual and performance. For screenarchery, i like to use 40. 2) The shadow distance Huge impact on your fps. A lot of players run ultra settings without knowing they actually destroy their performances. Frequently, if you watch in specific directions, fps drops may happen...probably because you run ultra settings. So, simply reduce this setting in your skyrimprefs.ini ----------------- [Display] fShadowDistance= ----------------- 8000 and more is ultra and demanding but shadows cast far. Looks good, best visual. 6000 will improve your performances without losing good visual. 4000 is really performance friendly but your shadows will not cast very far around your character. 3) Dyndolod tree distance Dyndolod is pretty cool and i highly recommend it of course because your game will look 10 times better. Your game will look wider and deeper. Dyndolod doesn't really impact fps.....but it may create stutterings depending of your computer. So, try different values for trees distance. --------------------- [TerrainManager] fTreeLoadDistance= --------------------- This setting is available in your skyrimprefs.ini. It's also easily available in game in your dyndolod MCM menu. So , you see results in real time. 75000 is the standard setting. Looks good, nice distance, may create stutterings. 50000 or less. Still looks good and can remove a lot of stutterings. I recommend this setting (ex: 49000) if you have stutterings with dyndolod. Recommended for fast gameplay. 250000 and more. For screenarchers, you can go up to 250000 mainly to cover the whole map. Best visual, for screenarchers, huge fps drop. 4) Your resolution. Yes of course. - A lot of machine can run the game @1080p (1920x1080) with good fps. This resolution is probably the most used by the community.If you want good fps with a decent machine, that's the resolution to select. - 1440p (2560*1440) is a bit more demanding. Only good rigs (CPU, GPU, RAM) can run the game with good performances. If you have the good machine , that's really the resolution to select because the game is really finer and contrasted. You can almost remove all AA. A good GPU allow to run this resolution. - 2160p (3840x2160) aka 4K. Well, honnestly I don't know what kind of machine can run Skyrim at 4K with strong fps (maybe an SLI 2080ti ) Well, only Nasa computers can run that. However, I strongly recommend this resolution for screenarchers. Yes it's demanding but the quality is unbeatable. All these thoughts/ recommandations are valid for a modded Skyrim with A strong content and an ENB ofc. I'm not speaking about a vanilla/ close to vanilla/ character oriented game Conclusion: Check all these settings. That's easy. They all impact your performances and you must adapt them according to your machine. Do not hezitate to check twice. https://discord.gg/zW34wDv If you want to discuss about Skyrim modding, you can join my Discord. Here, we share habits, informations and tips.

Version 2.0
- Patrician ENB 2.0 is available! Content: - For last enbseries V 418 - slighlty more direct lighting in all interiors - the wet surface effect is available for all rainy weathers. For now, i'm still reasonable with this effect as it may produce side effects if values are too high. Well, I'll polish the effect as things progress. In my ENB, I combine this wet surface effect with high specular values. I like the global result. Feedbacks are appreciated. - The rain has a shorter motion stretch. - Thanks to the weather support, i also use the wet effect during one snowy weather. The effect is very low and subtil. It gives to the snowy ground a slightly frozen visual. It makes sense in my humble opinion. - New recommendation: Obsidian Mountain Fogs LE https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/88676 Indeed, this last month, i worked on the combination between Obsidian Mountains LE and NLVA. Obsidian gives a huge boost for all mountain visuals. Well, the mix is perfect. Guarantee! Higly recommended but not required!!!! Load order doesn't matter for this esp. - Now i use colors for volumetric fogs!!! Indeed, this is very usefull for all transitions between dusks/ dawns and all night. - Ambiant lighting curve increased for all clear weathers (slightly). - Exterior night lightings are slighly more powerful (lanterns, torches, braziers, candle). More comfortable and no saturation. You'll also see that there are less pitch blacks during nights. - A new NLVA esp is now included with night gradients available. In the original NLVA esp, night gradients are pure black...so i wasn't able to edit the color of gradients to my liking. I have a permission to upload it directly with my ENB. Thanks Kojak747. It also contains my previous modification of the rain (downpour visual). For "True storms" users, download the natural lighting vivid athmospheric TS esp in optional files. It is also edited. Well, I wanted something with more variations/ more choices. So, now it's done. Note: i also trigger full gradients in Apocrypha in order to edit the sky according to my desire. So, whatever your choice, overwrite your old esp with this one. - Better direct lighting for clear nights mainly to mimic the moonlight. - Lightings generate more specular eveywhere (day, night, interior) - i reorganized my weather list (group if possible, remove the useless, checked if weathers are properly store). - Summerset isles weather support a bit improved again. - I redo all 3 weathers of the Falmer Valley (DLC). - Midwood support (location for Aleyd ruins mainly). Exteriors are still NLVA friendly. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/98894 - Almost all locations are done for all ruins for Hammet's dungeon pack. Indeed, all these ruins are very dark naturaly. So, i inject the right weather to each unique location to make them enjoyable and playable. - The Patrician ENB feather version is very performant. If you are not able to run the normal version, you should consider the "feather version". Effects are very low and some taxing effects are completly removed like all complex fire/ particle lights, the wet effect, the underwater caustic effect. In my humble opinion, if you use the feather version, you should also install the 512 version of vivid weather too. Thoughts - Watch all changelogs on the main page of my ENB. You'll see all changes/ improvements these last months. - During the instalation of vivid weather you have the choice of the texture size ( 2K, 1K, 512). Vivid weather is the first important step of the instalation of the weather system. The 2K version may be demanding in some places, so if you want to gain performances, maybe you can use the 1k version or even the 512 version. On effects, it's not very noticable in my humble opinion. In my case, i mix textures of vivid weather. All my clouds are 2K, but all the effects are 1K or 512. Well, it's up to you but Vivid weather may be an important key to improve your performances (stutterings or FPS drops). More support - Fell free to join my Discord.

Version 1.9
- Patrician ENB 1.9 is available! Introduction to Patrician ENB 1.9 Hi and welcome to my Nexus page. Patrician ENB is still in developement. Indeed, binaries improve with time...and so am I I believe that an ENB needs time to be polished. First, for users and new users, thanks a lot for giving a try my ENB. I really hope that you live great adventures with my ENB. For players who wish to try, just follow intructions on the description page to reach the perfect result. That's pretty easy in my humble opinion. I consider my enb very easy to install. User images prove that the result is frequently achieved. This version 1.9 needs last binaries 0.407 available on the website ENBDEV. Download binaries and extract only "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost" from the wrapper folder. Paste them in your skyrim folder. Then copy/paste the full content of my enb in the skyrim folder as well. Launch the game with skse_loader. This new Patrician ENB 1.9 is very precise and polished. Comfort and precision are my keywords.The enb needs to be precise in every situations and in every places. That is important to me....so i humbly believe that this may be also important for you. I'm also an experienced modder (since 2007 with oblivion and 2011 with Skyrim), so i'm glad to share this experience with you. Nothing is random in Patrician ENB. All effects/ colors/shaders have been precisely selected. All presented images here aren't edited/modified. You got exactly what you see. Content Patrician ENB 1.9: - For lastest binaries 0.407 (last update) - All sunsets/dusks/dawns/sunrises have been polished. The goal is a clean transitions between all days and nights. Important work on this point. - After testing/ feedbacks and consideration, i decided to remove the special effect "big range" of the complex particles light effect. This effect is charming of course but it also saturates the magelight and candlelight spells making them almost unusable. So, i removed this "big range" effect. My enb focuses on balance, comfort and playability, so this specific effect isn't part of that. More doesn't always mean better.... Be reassured, the complex particle light effect is still active and viewable. It's just less "explosing". The magelight and the candlelight are also perfect now and they shine perfectly. Removing one effect means also better performances. - All fogs interior have been reedited. Interior fog is a far ambiant lighting you can see in all interiors. It's mainly viewable in huge interior spaces. Now they have a better color and distance. Neat! - I also improved again some weather support like Darkend, The gray cowl of nocturnal, The world of Rudra. Solstheim as well. - Of course, this version correct all details/ shaders which wasn't clean (particles, gradient, ambiant lighting, volumetric fogs, etc...) - Recommended Load Order: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics.esp Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB - Flame Atronach Fix.esp IcePenguinWorldMap.esp WondersofWeather.esp mintylightningmod.esp randomthunder.esp RelightingSkyrim_Legendary.esp Supplemental Relighting.esp Skyrim Exterior Fixes - Patch - Relighting Skyrim.esp LightBeamFix.esp ELE_Legendary_Lite.esp DynDOLOD.esp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fell free to join my Discord.

Version 1.8
- PATRICIAN ENB 1.8 is now available Please, download latest binaries 0.407 for Skyrim LE. Since binaries 0.404, performance of ENBoost has been improved again. Posted Image To update your binaries, download them on ENBDEV. Extract the file and copy the "d3d9.dll" and the "enbhost" only from the wrapper folder. Paste these two files in your Skyrim folder. This overwrites older binaries. Check that you have correct binaries during the logo screen: "ENBSeries 0.407 for TES Skyrim" to the top left hand corner. Spoiler CONTENT: - Updated for latest binaries 0.407 - Better rain, more subtle and better blending (day and night). All rainy weathers have now a weather support. All rainy weathers are visually different. Last binaries allow to edit the brightness of the rain. I recommend to use my optional edited NLVA esp for a downpour visual. - All sources of light are slightly more powerful in interiors. It's a bit more vibrant on objects, characters and walls. - I reworked interiors for all nordic ruins, all dwarven ruins and all imperial forts. Better ambiant lighting mainly. Lore friendly, logical and playable. As usual, the ENB triggers unique settings for these places to make them unique. - The complex particle light effect is slightly more powerful by night. - 3 new optional depth of field. Only for screenarchery. A cursor is of course available for maximum precision. See optional files. Download and extract in your enbseries folder. These depth of field keep the vide of the ENB and doesn't change colors. - A frost/ droplet vignette is available in optional files too. Download and extract in your enbseries folder. - Very strong Skyrim LE vibe!!!!! :) - I polished some night and day transitions to make them more progressive and natural. - I improved a bit the Patrician ENB feather version. I increased the shadow filter. Values were too low and pixelated Good to know: - Update your particles patch. New meshes have been included. - Recently, for several players, last binaries 0.407 are considered as a trojan by several antivirus. That's a false positive. You can use it safely. Just allow d3d9.dll by your anti-virus. - The screenshot key is "insert". This creates a bmp image (bitmap) in your Skyrim folder. That's the best quality you can have. It's a perfect replica of your screen (all details and colors). It has almost no saving time/ no fps drop when screenshoting. So, this is how you must capture images. Image data: weight of one image 1080p = 7.91 mb 1440p = 14 mb 2160p = 31.6 mb Once you have all your images, you are free to convert them in the format you prefer (jpg or png) - As usual, if you use Dyndolod to generate lods, i recommend a lod brightness between 0 and -10. - 5, -6 or -7 does a good job. Globally, in my ENB, darker tree lods is a better choice in order to make them natural behind the far mist. - In my humble opinion, avoid flashy textures with my ENB. Natural textures have a better rendering with realist/ vivid ENBS like mine. - About audio, I recommend Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2 https://www.nexusmod...yrim/mods/43773 It matches very well to the ENB and to NLVA. The global mix is very well balanced, natural and logical. That's just a recommendation, not a requirement. Fell free to try. - Recommended Load Order: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics.esp Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB - Flame Atronach Fix.esp IcePenguinWorldMap.esp WondersofWeather.esp mintylightningmod.esp randomthunder.esp RelightingSkyrim_Legendary.esp Supplemental Relighting.esp Skyrim Exterior Fixes - Patch - Relighting Skyrim.esp LightBeamFix.esp ELE_Legendary_Lite.esp DynDOLOD.esp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fell free to join my Discord.

Version 1.7
- BINARIES 0.400: - Edited for last binaries 0.400 (5 january 2020). It's enormous :) These new binaries feature a new diretional skylighting and some underwater correction. All is checked and activated. Binaries 400 also introduce color filter for volumetric fog. Currently, i don't have the use of this new feature as NLVA/Patrician volumetric fogs have a correct blending and curve. LOCALIZATION: - My new update 1.7 focuses on the ENB localization feature. A few ENB (almost none) use this feature, tho i think that's a solid option...and specially for interiors. Let me explain: My ENB already triggers corresponding climates and effects according to regions. It's called a "weather support". A great feature for sure. For example, in game, if you trigger a snowy climate, all interiors (in this region) follow the same rule and effects. But i wanted to go gurther because i consider that a farm interior is not a nordic ruin, nor a dwarven ruin. That's where the localization is usefull. In Patrician 1.7, Nordic ruins, Dungeons and Dwarven ruins have all a dedicated ENB effect. That's better, unique and it makes sense. This solution allows me to use specific ENB effects and to be ultra precise for these places. This is also better to edit each interior according to the athmosphere and textures. This localization handle all dungeons, all nordic ruins, all dwarven ruins in Skyrim and Solstheim. I have also injected unique effect to mods like Skyrim Underground and Forgotten Dungeons. I still haven't find a perfect setting for Hammet Dungeons. All localizations are automatic. UNDERWATER: After testing and consideration, i edited the new underwater effect according to each of my Patrician versions (Normal, Kaiju and Feather). This effect is demanding and i don't want fps drop for an underwater effect. Normal version: Caustic effect activated without the high quality cautic Kaiju version: Caustic effect activated with the high quality caustic Feather version: No caustic effect WATER SHADER: The water is now injected in the weather support. This means that water is visualy different according to regions and climates. This shader allows me to edit "Waves Amplitude". So, to make it simple, seas have more waves amplitude than lake or ponds. Rainy weathers have waves amplitude. Calm weathers have a very flat water. Yes, it's neat and automatic! COMPLEX PARTICLES: I rebalance the COMPLEXFIRELIGHTS effect and the COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS effect. These 2 effects are very sensitive and deserve clean settings in every situations. The COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS effect can be seen on everything that emit light (fireplace, torches, braziers, magicka, etc... and edited meshes) The COMPLEXFIRELIGHTS effect is rare and can be seen on magic spells mainly. The "big range" option isn't activated, it's definitly too demanding whatever your computer. GLOBAL IMPROVEMENT: As usual, between each versions, i polish and correct all the ENB for a balanced and enjoyable result. BLACKREACH: I finally found the solution to trigger the correct effect in Blackreach. You now have 100% chance to have the correct ENB effect in Blackreach. WEATHER SUPPORT: All mods weather support have been repolished. I just like to check them a second time with a "fresh eye". - Gray cowl of nocturnal, Darkend, Beyond reach, Aether suite. RECOMMENDATIONS: - In my Nexus description page, i recommend Facelight and Immersive spell light. You can install both of course and they are fully MCM compatible. However, you can't run them at the same time. You need to desactivate one to have the benefit of the other. They probably use the same slot. So, use the MCM menu to set up your preference. RAMCCOID FRIENDLY: Patrician ENB is Ramccoid friendly :) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/1047732?tab=user+files I recommend you to test his mods like DUST, WEBS, SNOW, STARS, AURORAS, STEAM, RIPPLES, etc. His mods will overwrite some NLVA textures and meshes or the particle patch or realistic water 2. Don't worry , you can try. For example, his mist textures give a new athmosphere in interiors (ruins, mines, etc). My ENB react a lot to his mods. Well, it's up to you, but you should give it a try. ORSINIUM - Land of the Orcs Weather support for this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54326 Let's be clear, this mod is old and not perfect and you'll probably meet strangenesses :) But this mod has also a damn good level design. I'm not joking. This mod is 100% stable. Dyndolod is not usefull in this mod as lods are already perfectly done Well, i made the weather support for the sake and for my own experience. The final result is good in my humble opinion. For curious players, adventurers and screenarchers only. FEATURES I DON'T USE: - Animated stars: I have better result without animated stars. I tried several stars textures but it's always a bit excessive. Animated stars can also provide bad results on the galaxy texture. However, you are free to activate it under the Sky shader. - AutomaticAmbientCalculation: I have better results without this effect. So, for now i don't feel the need to use this effect.
Version 1.4
- - Important change for all interior points lighting. They now have a different curve according to the daytime or nighttime. This new setting is globaly better and brings shades, immersion and realism. It is also better on characters. Best results for Relighting Skyrim + ELE users.
  - Night interiors are slightly darker. Definitly better...and again more realist.
  - some improvements on some gradients (mainly sky)
  - NLVA esp and NLVA TS esp update 1.1. NLVA produces one very light rain which doesn't need a "downpour" sensation (Falkreath) called "Rainy clear". The rain sound is also very light. So, this rain triggers the old rain particles for a better immersive experience. All other rains are "downpour".
  - Dwarven ruins interiors improved. Better fog/mist and ambiant lighting. Globaly a better depth.
  - Tip for Dyndolod users: When generating lods, -6 is the best LOD brightness for my ENB.
  - The night vision is available as an optional. Only for those who want this effect and its side effect. follow instructions.
  - The bloom is literally to zero on the Skyrim map. Users of the paper map should have correct results.
  - and finally a new superb weather support for the mod "The republic of Maslea" ( MostWanted004's request......and also because i like the mod very much)
Version 1.2
- New update Patrician ENB 1.2:
  - Patrician ENB now comes with its own NLVA esp.Permission granted to use, to modify and to join it with my ENB. My new edited esp just overwrites the " Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics.esp ". Thank you Kojak747. I edited it for a better rain. Now, all rainy weathers are wet, intense, superb and 100% immersive! Don't forget your umbrella! The rain occlusion is perfect and makes sense. So, you are "really" protected from the rain under trees, entry porches, rocks and many more objects. The feeling is 100% better. Now, forget all mods that "improve" the rain. All you need is here.
  - Correct the rare bug of the black screen.
  - For users of paper world map. The enb triggers the unique weather of the world map without too much bloom.
  - Some little lighting edits
Version 1.1
- SSAO polished for a better depth. New depth of field (cost 0.2fps)
Version 1.0
- Initial release

INTRODUCTION

Created for the latest ENB binary v0.479, Patrician ENB produces sharpened and clear images utilizing the full color palette.
This ENB preset will take advantage of all the effects ENB Series has to offer that hopes to satisfy both players and screen archers.

Through the use of subtle adaptations techniques, Patrician ENB offers beautiful and immersive exteriors and interiors.
A careful consideration was given towards lighting that resulted in stunning ambient lighting and seamless LOD blending.
The goal of this ENB is to provide a more intimate atmosphere by highlighting characters and objects, not bury them beneath a filter.

Patrician ENB was designed to be clear and accurate. Any unfavorable textures or visuals will be exposed so it is strongly recommended to build your game with the mods listed below to receive the best results. This page will guide you through the requirements and recommendations in order to achieve the best visual experience that will push the boundaries on what you can expect from Skyrim in 2022.

REQUIREMENTS

To obtain the finest result, you will first need a good weather system.
This is a hard requirement as this ENB was designed to trigger corresponding effects and climates.

Natural Lighting Vivid Athmospheric (NLVA)

Step 1) Install Vivid Weathers v1.56
During the installation process, I recommend keeping Volumetric Fogs.
Enable Stars and Galaxy Textures and Extended Rain Sounds.
Do not select any patches, you do not need them.
Once done, deactivate/hide or simply delete "Vivid Weathers.esp"

Note:
During the installation of Vivid Weathers you have the option to choose your texture size, 512, 1K, or 2K. 512 is already really nice and will provide great performance while still providing with the full effect. 1K is a good balance between visuals and performance (recommended). 2K for the best visuals.

Step 2) Install Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics v2.0
NLVA weather mod will overwrite several Vivid Weathers assets. Do not worry, this normal.
Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics.esp will control both Vivid Weathers and NLVA weathers.

Note:
As of version 1.3, Patrician ENB now has its own Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics.esp .
You will still need to download the entire Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics mod and
the original plugin must be overwritten by the one provided in the ENB.
The plugin mainly produces heavier rain, night gradients and longer weather transitions.
If you are using NLVA along with True Storms, please use the NLVA TS.esp found in the Optional Files of this ENB.

This completes the weather section.
You now have one of the best weather mods using only a single plugin along with your preferred texture resolution!

Lighting was a bit of a harder choice. Patrician was designed to be clear and atmospheric while still being mindful of performance and minimizing visual errors. After testing and consideration between Realistic Lighting Overhaul, Enhanced Lighting and FX, Relighting Skyrim, and Enhanced Lighting for ENB it was decided that the combination of Relighting Skyrim and Enhanced Lighting for ENB would provide the ideal lighting characteristics and lighting placement. This combination is script-free and does not introduce any new meshes, making this setup very lightweight and more manageable in terms of compatibility for other mods in your load order. In addition, this combination does not suffer from major FPS drops or flickering that can be found in other lighting mods.

Relighting Skyrim

Step 1) Install Relighting Skyrim - Without JIT - Legendary v4.1.3

Enhanced Lighting for ENB (ELE)

Step 2) Install Enhanced lighting for ENB (ELE)

ELE focuses on improving imagespaces (without any color range restrictions) and ambient colors which pairs perfectly with the light placement and characteristic fixes of Relighting Skyrim. This lighting setup is uncommon for an ENB preset and part of what makes Patrician ENB stand out from than the rest. And to make matters even more simple, Relighting Skyrim and ELE does not require any patches to integrate the two as they are already compatible.

RECOMMENDATION

Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (USLEEP)
An essential mod that corrects many of the vanilla errors in Skyrim.
This does not have a direct impact on the appearance of the ENB but some of the recommended mods are linked to USLEEP.

Skyrim Exterior Fixes - Supplemental Relighting Skyrim
The Skyrim Exterior Fixes mod fixes and improves USLEEP.
The Supplemental Relighting Skyrim option in Skyrim Exterior Fixes mainly improves Relighting Skyrim by adding missing light sources and
placement (highly recommended).
In Skyrim Exterior Fixes, a patch for Skyrim Supplemental Patch users is also available.

Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB
Fixes object meshes that have their shaders or blending properties set incorrectly.
This will lay the foundation for a suitable environment for use with ENB.

Choose between the Selective or the All-In-One installation.

Realistic Water 2 with ENB Textures
Patrician ENB was created for Realistic Water 2 and the included ENB Textures.
( it must overwrites the particle patch if asked. In general, RW2 overwrites everything.)

Watercolor for ENB and Realistic Water 2
If you want a more fantasy colored water which gives a greenish blue tint.
I use Watercolor for ENB because transparency is better.

Light Beam Fix
Alters the positioning of light beams in certain inns and taverns to make them look more natural.

Ultimate Fire HD
Torches, campfires, fireplaces visuals and effects have been improved.
Goes perfectly with Patrician ENB. Use Ultra version if you can.

Rudy HQ - More Lights for ENB Mods
Patrician ENB utilizes Complex Particle Lights feature. Rudy's mods adds more light sources with shadowing to the game.

My effect is weaker compared to Rudy's, mainly to avoid extreme lighting in specific conditions.

Quick Light
Personal light that goes nicely with Patrician ENB.
Fully adjustable via MCM.

Obsidian Mountain Fogs for Legendary edition
This is a new recommendation for your load order. I edited the ENB to generate a perfect mix between NLVA and
Obsidian Mountain Fogs. Colors match perfectly and the blending is natural. Highly recommended. Load order doesn't matter.

Lanterns of Skyrim - All In One
Adds lanterns to main roads, villages, towns, and settlements for better visibility at night.
Provides a nice ambiance for exteriors, especially during foggy and rainy weathers where you can see how the lights emitted from the lanterns interact with the different climates. Use the normal version 2.5 (normal brightness for correct results).
Fully compatible with Relighting Skyrim and ELE.

Facelight Plus
Facelight adds point lighting to your character and can be added to other NPCs.
This sometimes causes a halo effect or strong glow on the characters' faces. Patrician ENB was designed to mitigate these effects.
The "dark" setting will provide with a more natural look while the "on" setting will provide a bit more brightness.

Immersive Spells and Light
Makes the spell in your hands emit light and appear more imposing.
The use of Relighting Skyrim, ELE, complex particle lights ENB effect, and Immersive Spells and Lights produce an astonishing visual.
Recommended for mages and screenarchers. For best performance, I recommend applying this effect only for your own character.
Fully adjustable via MCM.

Step 1
Download the latest ENB series 0.479 for Skyrim Legendary Edition.

Extract the following files from the Wrapper Version and drop into your Skyrim directory folder.

d3d9.dll
enbhost.exe

Step 2
Download the content found in the Files section of this page and extract the contents of Patrician ENB into your Skyrim directory folder.

Step 3
In your Skyrim launcher, ensure that Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering is set to "Off".

Set the Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering settings in your graphics driver control panel to "Application-Controlled" or "Off".
Also, in your GPU setting, Ambient Occlusion must be "Off" as you can see.

Edit your SkyrimPrefs.ini and set the following:

[DISPLAY]

fGamma=1.0000
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bDrawShadows=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
iMaxAnisotropy=0
iMultiSample=0
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=3

[PARTICLES]
iMaxDesired=6000

Note:
If your performances decrease when using magic, just reduce this number like:
[PARTICLES]
iMaxDesired=750

Step 4
Edit your Skyrim.ini and set the following:

[GENERAL]
fFlickeringLightDistance=8192

Step 5
Edit your enblocal.ini according to your computer's specs.
Use the ENB VRAMTest tool for accurate calculation.

[MEMORY]
ReservedMemorySizeMb
VideoMemorySizeMb

Remember to save.

Enjoy!

Patrician ENB was crafted to mimic realistic interiors. Interiors without enough light sources will appear naturally dark whereas an interior with sufficient light sources will appear naturally brighter the closer you are to the source of the light. Accurate lighting and shadow effects provides depth and logical visuals to go along with the type of atmosphere that is perfectly suitable for any style of play.

Interior atmosphere can be changed by simply reordering Relighting Skyrim and ELE's plugins within your load order to better suit your preference.

Load Order 1
RelightingSkyrim_Legendary.esp first then ELE_Legendary_Light.esp
ELE has priority. Interiors are darker, realistic, and focus on point lighting and fires. Unique lighting templates, fogs and imagespace from ELE

Load Order 2
ELE_Legendary_Light.esp first then RelightingSkyrim_Legendary.esp.
Relighting Skyrim has priority. Interiors are not as dark with a clearer ambient lighting. For those who want "vanilla -style" interiors.

Whichever choice you make, know that ambient colors, mists, and interior fogs will still be edited by the ENB.
However, Patrician ENB is tweaked for the load order Relighting Skyrim then Enhanced Lighting for ENB in order to have the full benefit for all lightings and imagespace from ELE. Place these esps to the end of your load order. That's my recommendation.

Patrician ENB has been edited on a full palette to support full RGB (0 - 255 colors).
Users may have to make system adjustments to take full advantage of Patrician ENB.
Nvidia users, open the Nvidia Control Panel, locate the "Nvidia color settings" and set your display's "Output dynamic range" to "Full".
AMD users should activate a similar option, if applicable.
A full color palette ensures that white will appear clearer and black will appear deeper.
Not enabling this option will make your games appear faded and washed out.

Patrician ENB offers a wide variety of nights, anything from clear nights to a cool misty night. There is a trigger for nights of every weather.
I am particularly fond of the rare but wonderfully unique blue nights created by Patrician ENB.
Concepts from The Witcher 3 have greatly influenced the design of the skyline. Horizons can be seen in the distance giving the player a sense of depth, perspective, and provides a visual landmark for your travels throughout the lands of Skyrim.
The influence of The Witcher 3 can best be seen in Markarth and The Reach where a powerful moonlight may be seen during clear nights.

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

A new world to explore with a lot of new assets. This new land comes with new textures and meshes. You'll be surprised by the originality of the mod. Patrician ENB supports all new weathers to hightlight unique places like amazing new grottos (with unique textures) and one of the best Oblivion plane i have ever seen. Maximum effects and clarity required! I dedicated time to provide the best lod blending on the main map (island). Well, take your backpack, the adventure begins now!

Weather Support for the unique Dreamborne Isles
The support is mainly for the last chapter of the mod (with the Sovngarde sky) in order to obtain a balanced visual and to finish this exceptional quest under the best possible conditions.

Weather support for Moonpath To Elsweyr
Exceptionally, to make the support works, you need to download a second mod
Moonpath - Lighting and weather patch
This patch gives Moonpath a standalone weathers and reacts to ENB. It's required.

Weather support for Beyond Reach
One of the best new land mod is now supported by Patrician ENB.
Foggy, rainy, misty, sunny....all is available and follow the concept of this fabulous mod. An enormous map with a lot of quest awaits you.
Feel the power of The Patrician in this desolated land.
A unique and special attention to details has been given toward........The Void ...... to make it gloomy and "End of Days".
But to reach this unique stage, you'll need have a solid character...believe me!

Custom ambient lighting and effects for the Haven Bag.
This mod is mainly for those who don't want to spend their time with house mods. The Haven bag is a quick shortcut to store all your stuff....and it's safe :) Well, now your bag is welcoming :)

Weather support for Orsinium - Land of the Orcs
An mod featuring a new worldspace. A bit old and some strangenesses but this mod has a pretty good level design. That's the reason why i did the weather support. The desert-like valley, rocky landscapes and the global athmosphere make this mod unique and finally enjoyable with my ENB. Definitely Orsimer friendly.
By Malacath!

Weather support for Project AHO
All new locations edited and sended to the weatherlist.ini and to the locationweather.ini.
All settings forced by location ID. So, all is automatic for the player.
These are interior cells mainly (an underground city), so i used all available effects in order to make them appealing, playable and logic.
Interesting and unique results on the lightsprite, point lighting and fog interrior.
Absolutly unique!
Note: Better is your Solstheim, better is Project AHO...So, it's time for you to give some love to Solstheim too (textures, meshes, parallax, etc...)

Patrician ENB supports the Aether Suite & GomaPeroLand.
The Aether Suite is a modern setting and used for screenarchery. Patrician ENB was designed to give Aether Suite a unique set of colors and contrasts to help create the ideal photographic experience. Aether Suite utilizes four unique weathers. Patrician ENB fully supports these weathers by allowing more precise controls and an enhanced sense of style that is unbound to the vanilla set of weathers.

The support for GomaPeroLand is a bit simpler as there is utilization for only one unique weather.
This activates automatically and will give you the ideal conditions for GomaPeroLand. All other weathers will be triggered by NLVA.

Note:
Some new lands or worlds such as Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, or Falskaar do not need weather support.
These mods are already 100% compatible with NLVA and will use the NLVA weatherlist.

Patrician ENB highlights your characters that appears natural and balanced. Natural tones and colors which improve textures and better enhance details. The subsurface scattering (skin shader) has been polished to avoid unnatural tints. Tested on both males and females. Works well for Orcs and Dark Elves too. Your character skin reacts to rainy weather and will become wet. Results may vary according to the skin mods used and to personal editing of your character meshes.

The beauty of modding Skyrim are the bountiful and well diverse selection of mods.
To enhance your game even further, I recommend discovering high quality textures replacers and other visual enhancers.
I will provide you with an example for weather but I encourage you to really discover for yourself what is out there and find what you like best.

- Example Weather combo -

Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics
Lightning During Thunderstorms
Immersive Skyrim Thunder
Wonders of Weather
Skygazer Moons - Masser and Secunda
Etheral Auroras
R.A.S.S
New rain texture of your choice
New galaxy texture of your choice
New stars texture of your choice
New mist texture of your choice
Sun and sunglare texture of your choice

This is an easy example that is 100% stable and works perfectly with Patrician ENB.
Please use good judgement when curating your mod list.
Understand that some mods may not be FPS friendly, such as heavy rain or snow mods.

- All other weather systems like Climates of Tamriel, ELFX Weathers, NLA, Pure Weather, Purity, etc.
- All other lighting systems like Claralux, Climates of Tamriel, ELFX, Luminosity, RLO, URWL, etc....
- Any mods that remove fogs and mists (interior and exterior). Patrician ENB has fog and mist. They must not be removed.
- Spam and spam supporters. If you are part of one these two categories, or both, you are not welcomed to comment or upload any images. I have zero tolerance for this and want no association with these types of people.

- Relighting Skyrim with ELE allows you to use the highest quality SMIM / RCI chandelier/candlehorn (full 3D) without any interior FPS drop.
In general, this lighting system allows you to use mods that add complex and numerous meshes in interiors without impact on FPS.
- When entering extremely massive dungeons or ruins, you will not encounter any fps drop due to the excellent performance of Relighting Skyrim.
- Patrician ENB has been tested on a pure vanilla Skyrim to gauge the performance ceiling. The results offered great performance however, I still recommend retexturing your game to obtain a better visual experience.
- Patrician ENB comes with a very simple depth of field that is gameplay oriented. This depth of field does not add any tint, is neutral in color, and barely costs any FPS. For screenarchers, use one of my depth of field available in "optional files".
- Patrician ENB comes "parallax ready". If you include parallax meshes and textures in your game you will see this effect by default.You don't need to change the setting.
- In the Optional Files, I included Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini. These have already been configured for Patrician ENB. Use them if you would like.
- The included enblocal.ini is one of the most stable you can find. I have done tremendous amounts of research on stability in hopes of passing it on to you, the user.
- Patrician ENB has been tested with DynDOLOD and TES5LODGen. To generate LODs, use TES5LODGen if you want almost zero fps drop. Use DynDOLOD to achieve a higher quality. The Medium setting is my recommendation. It's superior to the Low setting and almost identical to the High setting. I recommend a lod brightness value -5.
- The generated finished product of DynDOLOD is directly proportional to what you put in. Try other billboards other than the standard set provided by DynDOLOD Resources. Enhance your visuals by using higher quality LODs (terrain, objects, trees).
- The results for generated LODs and Patrician ENB have been perfectly blended. I definitely think that you can disable the depth of field for gameplay and still have excellent visuals.
- In your Skyrim Launcher, I recommend setting Shadows on High or Ultra. Mainly for a better shadows distance.
- Use BethINI for proper ini file generation. Be sure to activate the "ENB" setting, turn off Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering, and set ini files to Read-only to prevent any unauthorized changed.
- If you use Another Start - Live Another Life it may be possible that the ENB doesn't trigger the right interior weather when starting out in the prison. To fix this, continue your adventure. The effect will be injected with time or after the next loading screen.
- Patrician ENB supports Solstheim and Dawnguard.
- Patrician ENB works for all PCs. If you are having difficulties due to DirectX compatibility, I recommend you to download DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtimes (June 2010) or End-User Runtimes Web Installer. This is mainly for new computers which may not come with DirectX 9 already installed.
