Download and install EVLaS with your mod manager. The optional Underside file is not needed if you plan to run dyndolod(you should).
Step 2, Lux (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/43158?tab=description)
Download and install Lux with your manager. Make sure to grab the Via resources(or Lux Via if you are using it) from the links on the lux page for it to function. Also check out the patch hub for any patches.
Step 3, Lux Orbis (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/56095)
Download and install Lux Orbis with your manager, also requires the resources from Via and has a patch hub linked on its page.
Step 4, KreatE (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/83757?tab=description)
Download and install KreatE with your mod manager, make sure to get the requirements listed on its page and to get the correct file for the Skyrim version you are running.
Step 5, Picta Part 1(of 3) Weather (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/115532?tab=files)
Download and install the Picta Realis - Weather Mod file from this page and install it with your mod manager.
Step 6, Picta Part 2(of 3) Light Fix (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/115532?tab=files)
Download and install the Picta Better FX Lights file as a new mod with your mod manager. Vortex and MO2 users read the Weird FX Lights spoiler.
Step 7, ENB Helper SE (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23174?tab=description)
Download and install the ENB Helper mod, make sure to get the right version for your Skyrim and make sure it is the linked enb helper. DO NOT USE ENB HELPER PLUS WITH PICTA, that is an entirely diffrent mod.
Step 8, KiLoader (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/99404?tab=files)
Download and install KiLoader with your mod manager.
Step 9, ENBseries (http://enbdev.com/)
Hit News on the bottom of the page, then navigate to download on the left, scroll down until you see TES Skyrim SE, click it, then click on the highest version listed available on the bottom of the page(it IS a download link). Once you have downloaded the file, extract the d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files from the wrapper folder of the archive and move them manually into your main skyrim folder(where SkyrimSE.exe is located). Do not use the Root Builder mod, it is not recommended with Picta. This must be done manually.
Step 10, ENB Extender For Skyrim (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/99406?tab=files)
Install The ENB Extender for Skyrim mod with your mod manager.
Step 11, Silent Horizons 2-Shader Core (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/101696?tab=files)
MANUALLY install the SH2 Shader core to your MAIN SKYRIM FOLDER just like you did with ENB. DO NOT USE YOUR MOD MANAGER and make sure you use the mod linked and not the Universal Core mod as they are different.
Step 12, ENB Worldspace Weatherlists (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/101697?tab=files)
Install the ENB Worldspace Weatherlists mod with your mod manager.
Step 13, Picta Part 2(of 3) ENB
Download and MANUALLY install the Picta Realis-ENB file on this page to your MAIN SKYRIM FOLDER, overwriting anything if asked.
Step 14, Picta for Life
Once in game remember to set the Kreate preset. Open Kreate (END by default) and click the little arrow on the top of the screen. Select Presets and then select the one you installed earlier. That should be it, yay! If weathers look off when loading in to interiors type RCC into the console(~) and hit enter, this will be fixed in later versions. Have fun!
Fixes for common issues:
Dark interiors and/or weird exteriors
If this doesn't help, Picta and/or its requirements have been installed incorrectly. Completely uninstall both Picta and requirements and reinstall.
ENB Helper
Weird FX lights
- Installing the Optional File:
- Treat the optional file as a separate mod. Do not merge it with the primary weather mod file.
- Creating the Necessary Folders:
- Within the folder where the mod is located, create a new folder named "KreatE."
- Inside the "KreatE" folder, generate another folder titled "Presets."
- Within the "Presets" folder, create a new folder with a name of your choice.I'll name it "Picta Realis - Better FX Lights."
- Move the Files:
- Transfer all the files from the mod into this newly created folder.
- Final Structure:
- Your directory should now resemble the following:
- mod folder
- KreatE folder
- Presets folder
- Last folder (contains all mod files)
The very shiny lights should be gone now. I tested with a minimal load order and it worksIt's even easier for Vortex users:
DEBUG MODE
Please CAREFULLY read the instructions for all required mods. They are not all installed the usual way. If things don't look right it is probably that one of the requirements got installed wrong.

This is the error log. Can I ignore it?
Just in case, I went back to the NAT weather I was using and the game doesn't crash. Also, just in case, I changed to a different weather mode and the game doesn't crash.
There seems to be a bit of a problem with the file
But the visuals I saw in the game are really fantastic. I hope this issue is fixed so I can use it.
This mod really makes the weather look natural and really takes Skyrim's visuals to the next level. I really appreciate your work.
If you have time, can I ask you one more thing??

Is this moonlight border intentional?? Or did I do something wrong?

Noticed you also have 2 source scripts but no actual scripts in the download.
Can I ask your opinion on Praedys Sky??

Not to be nitty gritty, but I inspected the Picta Aurbis .esm file and in the Weather forms it contains some references to NAT III and Vivid Weather textures, I think you would probably want to remove such references or credit the respective mod authors in your perms if you based your plugin off of their work?
