Hi all. Any of my ENBs will technically work with AE version however, those presets that are (enb weather supported) require SKE64 and ENBHelper to identify weather codes and load the settings for that particular weather for best visuals. Granted, SKSE64 should be updated for AE but, it is looking like ENBHelper may not get updated due to author no longer working on Skyrim. You can use any of my ENB for AE but again, those that were designed for enb weather support won't quite look like it did on SE side. I apologize for the inconvenience. I probably won't do any updates to the ENB presets either until I see a more stable mod support for AE.
Edit: Looks like SKSE and ENBHelper have test versions out therefore, if you updated to AE make sure you are using the correct SKSE and ENBbhelper versions needed for your Skyrim version.
V5.5 (2 Sept) Updated for ENB Binary to v.462. Adds in terrain parallax effect. Just note, at this time the setting can't be disabled/enabled in game. Has to be changed via the enbseries file.
---- Please read -----
How to Install or Adjust settings- See videos on description page.
ENB Binary- Make sure you are constantly checking if you are using the most recent binary (currently .345). Boris often updates without a version change which is important cause it often fixed bugs.
AA- I have added SMAA into the ENB (Thank you Rudy for help with this). It is up to you if you want to just use SMAA and/or TAA or FXAA or even both. Folder 3 I show how you can disable SMAA if you don't want to use. I still find TAA to be the best AA method though.
Light/Lens flare - Currently (until fixed by Boris) lens flare is highly noticeable unless you adjust your skyrimprefs. It looks pretty bad. You will notice it if you are having issues. Open skyrimprefs and under [Display] look for bIBLFEnable= 1 and make bIBLFEnable=0.
Animated Stars effect- This was added as of 2.0 due to enb binary .341. However, I do have it on but, it really depends on the star mods you are using. No mod is best and the animated affect works best with vanilla sky. You will most likely have to adjust the animated star settings under [Sky] to your preference and mod used.
Night Eye- As of V1.4 Night Eye Fix (Thanks to Phinix, author of Truth ENB) has been put into ENB. The default setting is turned for vanilla night eye effect. If you using something to alter nighteye/vampire vision you may need to adjust the night eye fix settings. See video on Desc page on how to tune in. Its really easy
Issue downloading/extracting- Use 7-zip. Its a free program and will solve the issue
Nights/Interiors too dark/bright- Use the quick adjustors in the enbeffectpostpass shader (I show how in folder 3 and "How to adjust" video). Or in the enbeffect shader for the time of day adjust adaptationmin setting.
- Need more FPS- If you want the best quality but slightly more FPS adjust the following. Outside of game open the enbseries file and look for ResolutionScale-0.707 and SourceTextureScale=0.707 and change to 0.5.
--- Special Thanks ----
Thanks Rudy for helping me get SMAA into my ENB and Phinix for the Night Eye Fix. A true gentleman and a scholar. Of course still thanks to L00ping for getting reshade effects into my ENB as well in the ENB early stages. Additionally, Adyss for his amazing ENB Shader Add On. Thank you for letting me add into my ENB. Truly, amazing modder.
Thanks ff7Legend / Maydragon / MetalSaber for being my testers on this
Of course thank you to all the users and supporters.
All, in recent versions I updated "Night Eye Fix". It is enabled by default in current version. It may need some user tweaking. Please see my how to video on description page. Also note, it is not a perfect fix. It has issues where it can conflict with spell, shouts and other effects if shares similar parameters that trigger the fix. No way around it at the moment.
If you notice your screen flashes and turns a dull color when using a spell, shout or other effect its the fix triggering for a second. It is not a bug. If you don't care for this you can disable the fix in the ENB in-game menu under the enbeffect shader and look for "use night eye fix" and uncheck it.
After trying for a decade to get ENB to work with my Skyrim game, I finally got it to work, and because I love Dark Dungeons, and use the mod "Dynamic Immersive Seriously Dark Dungeons" that darkens the dungeon when you enter, but places unlit candles and fire pits etc, so that you can light them as you find them, I did a google search and found a reddit thread that recommended This ENB to be used along with the (now lost) ELE Lighting Mod (Fortunately I hoard mods), in combination with the "Dynamically Immersive Seriously Dark Dungeons Mod, THIS IS PERFECT!!!!
What's more surprising is that I installed your "Full Quality" for Obsidian Weathers, and didn't see much of a performance hit at all, even on an i5 with an RTX 3050. (I did turn off a couple of things) and WOW!!!!! Everything looks so GREAT NOW!!!! THANK YOU!! ENDORSED!
It is by far my preferred ENB, but I still have a small problem: there is a little grain effect despite the option is disabled. I don't know how to solve this.
I can at least confirm that it looks absolutely perfect in VR with Lux, so probably looks good in flatrim as well. I actually replaced Relighting Skyrim & ELE with Lux+Orbis+Via a few days ago, and I thought it couldn't get any better looking than it did before, but it does. :)
I just recommend increasing the torch radius to like, 1024 if you want them to be useful at all. Lux has it very low and it barely does anything, almost like it only colours nearby things orange instead of provide any light how weak it is.
Hey m8, I see you mention you don't have a VR headset. If only you could see how it looks in there with this ENB and Obsidian... just gorgeous. Thanks for the ENBs you made over the years, been using them for a long time. :)
By the way since the File page says this uses v462, will there be any problem/benefit updating to the new v485? Or better stick with v457 for this ENB since VR doesn't have v462?
Just another quick one - is the performance preset as much as you can get out Intrigued without loosing the intended look or is there something else we could tweak for even more performance?
Great stuff. I had a difficult time with modding my game and learned many hard lessons. I was digging Mythical Ages but after my last clean reinstall of the game I finally fixed my micro stuttering issues. I used obsidian/true storms and this enb in a slimmed down build list. Everything this time around worked so well that I'm afraid to make a single change. Fortunately, this is the best weather/enb set up I've stumbled across after trying so many combinations.
Using Skyland AIO (galaxy king night sky option) and the quality version of this enb with cathedral landscapes/plants and 3d pine grass. Also using Relighting Skyrim, Lanterns of Skyrim II, and ELE. Pretty much it aside from engine fixes (collection from nexus)combat, SMIM and the rain splash/rainbows...i think Simply Bigger Trees as well.
I'm getting a black screen after installing this. Sound and menu still work I just can't see anything. Any reason why this is happening and how to fix?
