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.
V3.0 (26 Sept) Updated for ENB Binary .463. overhauled the preset. Too many changes to list.
---- Please read -----
How to Install or Adjust settings- See videos on description page. It will give you some tips and tricks and guide you through the settings.
ENB Binary- Make sure you are constantly checking if you are using the most recent binary. 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- Night Eye Fix (Thanks to Phinix, author of Truth ENB) has been put into ENB. However it is turned off by default and can be turned on by the user in the enbeffect shader. 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 and don't care for the God Rays (it is the biggest FPS hitter) just disable the prepass shader via the enb menu in game.
--- 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 for the continued support for all my ENBs. I do appreciate it very much
Of course thank you to all the users and supporters.
All, in recent versions I updated "Night Eye Fix". It is disabled 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.
Not sure if you're still active here or not, but I just wanted to say that I love this ENB! It perfectly captures that dark fantasy feeling I've been looking for like no other preset does. My only change, if possible, would be that I wish the skies during clear weather were a little more grey and less blue. Is this something I can change in the ENB menu? I've tried messing with gradient colors in the Sky section, but it seems like nothing I do is reflected in game. If anyone knows if this is possible, I'd love to know! Otherwise, it's definitely not a gamebreaking issue, and I'm just here to express my gratitude for this great preset!
Ngl your 2.6 version was straight up fire. I'd honestly highly recommend you keep it up to date again, it simply blows any competition out of the water in terms of visuals. Regardless, endorsed. 2.6 will remain one of my all-time favourite ENB's ever.
First time ENB user here. Was nervous if I could do this, but the accessable instructions guided me through everything just fine. And it looks just as aweome as in the videos. I even got Predator vision to work thx to the tutorial. Thx a lot.
Still I ran into an issue. In survival mode (I always play in this, since the game should feel ominous not just look the part ^^), whenever I get cold, or frezing, etc - this turns off Night Vision as well as thermal Vision. If I turn the ENB off, they function just as they are supposed to.
I already asked in the "Predator Vision" comments to no avail, so I'm hoping someone here knows how to fix this.
Anyone else having problems using this with the latest enb binary? I'm using .494 and have exploding meshes and missing textures. Other enb are working just fine, and the game is also fine with enb effects turned off. Grass is floating, trees exploding, and many shrubs etc are purple.
I love this, and want to play with it more than any other enb preset I've seen, but for some reason when I play with this enabled I get missing textures and exploding meshes of trees and plants all over the place. My grass is floating above the ground. I can disable it and everything looks as intended. I also play with TNT and another one with no issue. I have tried redownloading and enabling it a few times but it's always the same. If anyone has any ideas on where to go from here, I would appreciate the help! This would be perfect for a creepy vampire playthrough!
I'm having a bit of a problem with using the night eye fix, even after following your tutorials, none of the setting (like brightness, saturation, color, or y < VALUE) seem to work at all (night eye fix is enabled). The only thing I can change that shows any effect in night eye is W > VALUE*0.1(but this only seems to change the blur). Also below the "night eye fix" value, I actually have 4 x and y (instead of two) settings. I'm only using the page recommended mods for graphics. Any chance you could point me in the direction?
