FAQ
"How do I open the ENB menu?"
Press the "end" key on your keyboard. (If that does not work, delete enblocal.ini from the game folder, re-open the game, and press "Shift + Enter.")

How do I change Presets?”
Open the ENB menu. In the Shaders window, click on “ENBEFFECTPOSTPASS.fx”.
There you can choose the preset you want by changing the technique used.


Days, nights and/or interiors are too dark/bright. How do I fix this?”
You can regulate the brightness of days, nights and interiors very easily in “ENBEFFECT.fx”, in the Shaders window of the ENB menu.
From there you can regulate Haze ENB to work with any weather and lighting mod combination.

"How do I disable the letterbox (black bars)?"
You must open the ENB menu. In the Shaders window, click on “ENBEFFECTPOSTPASS”.
There you can disable the Letterbox Bars.


"How can I get even more FPS?"
1. Open the ENB menu and disable Ambient Occlusion and/or SkyLighting.
2. Set "bSAOEnable=0" in your SkyrimPrefs.ini file

"How do I enable the DOF (Depth of Field) if I can spare the extra FPS?"

Press“Delete” key on your keyboard.

"I don't like the lens effect. How can I fix this?"
If you don't like the Haze Lens effect, you can change to a simpler one by opening the ENB menu.
On the "Shader parameters"window, click on "ENBLENS.fx", and use the "Skyrim Mod Lens" technique instead.
If you don't like that either, you can disable "EnableLens" on the "enbseries.ini" window completely.

"How do I take screenshots?"
Press "Page Up" key on your keyboard. ENB will create screenshots in the game folder.


*Remember to click “Save Configuration” for your changes to stay permanent.
