Wow... I have a pretty ok graphics card (RX 570), but definitely not a GPU that could smoothly play Skyrim SE with an ENB. Somehow, this ENB gives me 60 FPS stable at low settings and a solid 45-50 at high. Other ENB's forces my FPS at 30 on low, even then not stable at all too. Amazing ENB, and probably the only ENB I will be using for a while! Thanks for this and this is a well-deserved endorsement! I'm sharing this with my friends as well.
thank you. im glad that you like this one. i've actually upgraded from a 1060 to a rtx 2060 super and have done some silly things with my load order omissions and admissions, and as such im not properly able to test this out with the new gpu to compare performance. main thing is ive switched up the weather mods, and am actually using 3 of them with compatibility patches to make them function together and this enb as much as i love it was not set up for that. but hopefully i'll be able to get some variant tweaked to the liking i want. which has been something im working on. i was working on trying to make a more vibrant/saturated version, but the flop that was my last load order shitting on me and changing it up has that on the backburner for now.
For those that have taken interest and have used this preset i thank you greatly. i do apologize for my absence as i have been rather busy with work and life in general. Plus i spend way too much time in my free time grinding out some good Destiny 2. Really though my attention has been drawn away from nexus with a lack of inspiration after having some issues with Nexus Mod Manager and switching to Vortex and having even more problems. I have just been having a lack of inspiration to get everything straightened back out with my games for modded play (which is only Skyrim SE, Oblivion, and Fallout 4). I'm sorting out Oblivion and doing some playthrough streams over on Twitch as see what will break this time - hopefully nothing.
Does this mod trend to drop FPS? I'm pretty confident that my pc is built well enough to play with some higher settings but I believe this mod (or another mod I have) may be dropping some FPS and I want it to be smoother than a hot knife through butter.

Let me know if more specs are needed! Thanks ahead of time for helping!
yes this can drop some fps (but not as much as you would probably expect) especially if already running a heavily modded game. my pc is actually pretty close to what yours is. though im only on an 8gb ddr4 ram and 1060 3gb vram with a 3.2 ghz i5. however the fps drop isnt as bad as i have seen using some other enb presets. so there's that. how bad is the fps drop for you?
As this is the enb i want im gonna post it here as i dont know where else to put it. so when i go to add the enb series it says change "bFloatPointRenderTarget=1" in the prefs ini but the thing is bFloatPointRenderTarget dont exist in my ini file i checked 8 times
Hey, if you're talking about the SkyrimPrefs.ini, if the command "bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 isn't listed - listed under the [Display] line - then just add it yourself to bottom of that, save it and you should be good to go.
Hey I'm having issues with the ENB, It's my first time using an enb so I don't know if i'm supposed to change any settings, but shadows for me are just very blocky/blurry and textures aren't that clear, and I get flickering issues with it, can anyone help me with this?
Sorry for the late reply. There could be some kind of issue with a reshade you may be using or mods you have installed. Like some incompatibility for a possibility. Flickering i think is a mix of everything from enb to mods to vanilla game. I get flickering even playing the game without mods and i know incompatibilities can cause flickering with mods. And with enb's I've always experienced some minor flickering. i know that's not very helpful. i just dont know what to recommend for a game that does this at it's base vanilla.
Hi! Just returned to endorse this amazing ENB! How did you achieve that lighting/lens flare effect when looking at torches and when light passes by? Its awesome! Reminds me of a Reshade effect. I'm using "dwemer fairy's" and when it circles around me I get that great "red lensing" effect too. As I said before, its brand new to me and I've tried at least 20 ENB's. Not even Rudy ENB, my favourite until now, has this effect. Stunning! Thanks for your hard work!
Honestly, I'm still learning. I hope to get to a point where i am more confortable with it. As i said in the description i used the 3 enb listed as the back bone. I made some edits in ini files along the way and fine tuned in game in the enb menu. It took a lot of playing with the settings to get something i was happy with. I started with Snapdragon and editing it. And added the extra stuff from Tetrachromatic. I then made some post post pass changes in relation to the XEnb's same ini. Played with everything some more. Oh and used the few reshaders from Xenb. Which the author for the shaders did a fantastic job. Other than that i really dont use reshades. I can't say exactly what i did to get the lense effect as the basis was from Xenb with some tweaks. And im sure somewhere along the way i got some files mixed together since i had like quite a few folders with various edits of everything. Some edits more drastic than others. I tried a bunch of enb's from various authors and plenty i liked and plenty i didn't like. But overall i wanted to "meld" my favourites and do something that looked great and still performed well. Tetrachromatic and snapdragon as they were looked good but hit hard on fps. But strangely when weaving them together, per say, i got something i felt looked even better and was no where near hard hitting on performance. And with XEnb i loved it and wanted to apply what was there to what i already had. Did the same thing and you see the results. So I'm even happier with it. Albeit it is a little harder pull on the fps for me though just a little more. Thats my story. In short play with what you have. Hopefully my story helps you understand.
Thanks for the detailed and informative reply! I'm a little nervous about tweaking the ini's but I'm learning slowly. Hopefully over the next few months I'll be good enough to upload my own preset.. Maybe. Actually working on a texture pack atm, "Ancients Summerland Skyrim" but that is also going slow, I'm not the best artist! It'll be pure fantasy non lore friendly and I want to do it as I'm very happy with my current fantasy build of 670 mods and love the greenery everywhere, but want to achieve that look with a single brand new pack. But its a lot of work to compete with/match what's already available and be different enough to be noticed.. I look forward to your next update, cheers! AncientGamestar
I happily agree, this preset is amazing for me. Everything just looks so good. I've been trying many due to developing ENB lately, and this ENB has me surprisingly happy. .... thank you @VanitysFire , endorsed and a kudos to get you going...
