I confess, the port of Natural Lighting and Atmospherics plugin for SSE by Kojak747 was the "signal" for me to make another ENB preset for Skyrim. At first, It was going to be a version of my Imaginarium ENB for NLA, but after weeks of work the preset became something
considerably different, more realistic, but without losing the touch of fantasy. And so Naturalystika ENB has born, bringing up the colors and lighting to the game in an interesting style.

- REQUIREMENTS

Weather Mod:
On this page , download and install by your mod manager ONLY NLA Weather Plugin and Resources (near the end of the page).

Optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
: Obsidian Mountain fogs mod. The volumetric fogs of Naturalystika are tweaked to work with this mod, I can't ensure if they will look good without it. 

Lighting Mods: The interiors settings are based on Enhanced Lights and FX mod , but MAYBE the look will be fine with others, feel free to try. For Enhanced Lights and FX also select the Enhancer option (unless you want brighter interiors), SMIM meshes if you use SMIM and  DO NOT INSTALL the Weathers option. The Exteriors plugin is not recommended to be used with this preset.

ENB Helper SE: It is necessary for the multiple weathers settings: ENB Helper SE  This is a SKSE64 plugin, so obviously you also need SKSE64 installed in your game.  IMPORTANT: As soon as Skyrim SE receives new updates from Bethesda, the ENB Helper SE also will need to be updated, so stay tuned about it. Multiple weathers function will not work if you update your game without update the ENB Helper SE.

Launcher , ini and GPU Control Panel Adjustments
: In the Game Launcher, you can choose TAA for anti aliasing and  disable Screen Space  Ambient Occlusion (ENB already has a much better one). So close the launcher and:

NMM and Vortex users -->  go to [Documents> My games> Skyrim Special Edition> Skyrimprefs.ini]
Mod Organizer 2 users  --> go to [ ......Mod Organizer2 > Profiles > Default > Skyrimprefs.ini] 

find the following lines, set and save:


[Display]
fDynamicDOFBlurMultiplier=0
bIBLFEnable=0  ---> (VERY IMPORTANT!!!! You'll have lens flare problems if this line is set to 1)
fGamma=1.0000
bUse64bitsHDRRenderTarget=1
bVolumetricLightingEnable=0
bTreesReceiveShadows=1

bDrawLandShadows=1
bShadowsOnGrass=0   

iVSyncPresentInterval=0

[Imagespace]

bLensFlare=1

If you don't have some of the [Display] lines above in your Skyrimprefs.ini, you can copy/paste them to somewhere under [Display] in the file.


 For NVIDIA users:  If you are using HDMI conection, Its VERY IMPORTANT to set your Dynamic Range in full, in the graphics card control panel (see this image). For AMD Users:  open AMD control panel, click on Gaming tab >Games > Global Graphics > Display > Pixel Format  and set to: RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB).


- INSTALLATION STEPS


1- Download the latest ENBseries from: http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrimse.htm

Open it and  extract ONLY the files d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll from
wrapper version folder to your Skyrim Special Edition folder ;


2- Download  Naturalystika ENB from files tab of this Nexus page. Open it and  extract the content
(enbseries folder, enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini)  to your Skyrim Special Edition Folder; 

3- Run the game and enjoy the new look. 

 The basic installation finishes here. If you want to customize some settings see the options bellow.


- OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS

*Basic Color Correction: If you want to adjust saturation, brightness and contrast to suit your tastes, no problem! You can do it in ENB GUI (Shift + Enter ingame menu) as shown here and here. Don't forget to SAVE CONFIGURATION after the changes (check here to see exactly where you need to click). I do not recommend to change the settings for times of day (unless you really know what you are doing). You should prefer to edit the GLOBAL settings at the bottom of ENBEFFECT.FX menu (CC:Contrast , CC:Saturation, CC:Brightness, etc....).

*Letterbox/ Grain/ Vignette/ Sharp Amount:  The Letterbox effect (black bars  up and down on the screen), Grain andVignette are disabled by default.  You can turn ON/OFF these effects any time ingame in the ENB GUI > ENBEFFECTPOSTPASS.FX, as shown here. You can also adjust the black bars size, grain/vignette intensity and sharp amount in this same menu. Don't forget to click on SAVE CONFIGURATION
if you want to keep these changes. 


*Bloom adjustments: If you want to adjust the intensity of the ENB Bloom effect for Day , Nights and/or Interiors you can open the ENB menu (Shift + Enter) > go to ENBBLOOM.FX on the right window reduce or increase the marked values, shown in this image. Click on SAVE CONFIGURATION on left window to keep the changes.  


**IMPORTANT: If after the installation your visuals are VERY different from  my screenshots so, you did some mistake during installation or you also need to adjust colors, contrast , brightness , hue, etc. in your monitor. Leftovers files from other presets or 2+ weather/lighting mods at same time  can cause issues.


- UNINSTALLATION

In the Skyrim SE Folder, delete: enbseries folder, d3d11.dll ; d3dcompiler_46e.dll ; enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini 

- UPDATES

IMPORTANT: Before update to a new version of this preset please uninstall the previous one!

- PERFORMANCE


This ENB preset is already performance friendly and playable in Mid-End machines. With my specs  (Intel i5 9400f 2,90 - 4,10 Ghz ; GTX 1070  8gb VRAM and 16 gb RAM)  I'm running the game + this preset with 60 FPS almost all the time (1920 x 1080 resolution), but FPS drops occurs in some places.

I will not be working on performance versions of this preset, but if you need more FPS consider  my main recommendations:

- Reduce godrays , shadow distance and quality in the game launcher.
- Reduce your grass density increasing the value of iMinGrassSize=*** in the ini files.
- You can disable Sun Rays, ENB DOF and Ambient Occlusion( by shift +
Enter ingame menu or setting EnableSunRays=false, EnableDepthOfField=false and EnableAmbientOcclusion=false in enbseries.ini). If disable ENB Ambient Occlusion I recommend to re-enable Screen Space Ambient Occlusion from the game in the launcher
- In Graphics card control panel some settings can also increase performance.
- Highly recommend  SSE Fixes to gain FPS in several places
