About this mod

An ENB created to balance realism, vividness and playability.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Skyrim is a magical place, and I wanted my own ENB settings to reflect that. These settings give what I think is a nice, vibrant appearance to Skyrim. The sky is blue, sunrises/sunsets are rosy and the night sky is the magical view it should be. Colors are vivid. Nights are dark, but not so dark you can't tell your fus from your ro-dah. Caves and mines are darker, but not to the point where you can't see that frostbite spider making eyes at you if you're paying attention. Lanterns and light sources have a nice glow.

I designed this ENB with Realistic Lighting Overhaul (0.1b only) and Vivid Weathers installed, so it might not look right without these mods.

This preset may eat between 5-10 FPS, depending on the view. FPS loss is negligible in interiors.

Feedback is welcome. I hope you find this preset useful.

Installation instructions:

  • Download the latest ENB binary from enbdev.com. (Click on News, then download, then TES Skyrim SE)
  • Extract the contents of the WrapperVersion folder to your main SSE installation folder.
  • Download the file from the downloads tab.
  • Extract the contents of the zip file to your main SSE installation folder, overwriting existing files.
  • Turn off screen space ambient occlusion in the game and make sure your video card's SSAO settings are not set to override the game.


Changelog:
