About this mod

An ENB for Cathedral, Obsidian & Azurite Weathers by the Author of Re-Engaged, NVT, TNT and few other ENBs. This ENB is a culmination of my many ENBs to bring visuals that are reminiscent of my Re-Engaged, NVT, TNT and Intrigued ENBs. You will see a nice blend of vibrant, dark and natural looking visuals. Made with ENB Weather Support.

Welcome to my newest ENB for Skyrim Special Edition. This is designed for Azurite Weathers. The author has created other great weather mods such as Obsidian Weathers. This ENB is a culmination of my many ENBs such as, Re-Engaged, NVT, TNT and Intrigued. You should find a nice blend that brings all the visuals of these ENB together to make a colorful and natural look preset. 

I truly hope that you will enjoy this new ENB preset!! Let me know what you think.

Note: There are specific mods I use and build my ENB around those mods. You can see the main mods I use listed below in the "mods" section. Of course, you are free to use what mods you choose and this ENB may look perfectly fine with those mods. But, I do adjust all direct lighting colors in this ENB so, it can impact texture mods and their looks quite a bit. So, may not look just like my screenshots or video.

Night Eye Fix Adjustment (Off by default)

The Nighteye Fix is designed and tuned for Vanilla Nighteye. However, depending on your mods you are using such as predator vision or better vampires the nighteye/vampire vision might not full trigger with ENB with the current default settings. You will have to enable and tune this in yourself. See the screenshot or video I have posted below to see how to do it. (Link for Full Size Photo: NightEye Adjusting )



Spoiler:

This should set the new trigger point for your nighteye/predator/vampire vision. 




Brightness- I recommend leaving at the default location a.k.a 1.0 in your skyrimprefs.ini. Easiest way to adjust brightness when use ENB is through the ENB menu in game (Shift+Enter) and then under colorcorrection adjust brightness. However, the best way is explained in my "How to Tweak" video below.

SSAO-SSIL- If you are using my Full Quality/Quality presets I recommend disabling the vanilla SSAO via the graphics options if you are trying to save FPS. 

DOF- If you are using my Full Quality preset I recommend disabling vanilla DOF via the graphics options. This will disable the blur underwater though.

AA- I have added in SMAA. It is on by default. It is up to you if you want to use just SMAA or use SMAA with TAA or FXAA. You can disable SMAA as well by change the option at the top of the enbeffectpostpass shader in the enb menu. 

I do recommend a mod call bethini which is a good tool to easily adjust graphics settings beyond the vanilla graphics menu and without having to go into the ini files. Check it out here: BethINI 




Note: While I mention my other ENBs in this, the process is exactly the same

 

Pre Step- Make sure you have the correct weather mod for the preset you are using.

How to Tweak ENB with Tips and Tricks



Vortex Installation 

See this video from Gopher on how to install via Vortex. It starts at about 11:50. Note: He is using Re-Engaged ENB but, the concept is the same across my ENBs. 






Delete enbseries folder, d3d11.dll, d3dcomiler_46.dll, enblocal file, enbcache folder and enbseries file from your Skyrim Folder

I do use many other mods for my Skyrim with myself currently running over 170 mods. Feel free to check out the mod guide I used to further enhance your Skyrim.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------








1. I am getting frame rate drops and/or stutters.

ENB for SE is not equal when compared to Oldrim ENBs. So, somes performance may vary. You can try switching from windowed to borderless or vice versa. Additionally, you could disable in-game vsync and use driver to force vsync

2. Night Eye or Predator Vision does not work.

There is a nighteye fix in the enbeffect shader which was set for vanilla nighteye. If you are using a modded nighteye effect you will need to enable and adjust the settings yourself for you mod. 

3. Nights are too dark or not dark enough.

Unfortunately I am very limited with SE ENB binaries. However, you can adjust night by a quick click of a button. See folder 3 in the download file to see how to quickly adjust nights and even interiors. Also you can adjust night and/or interiors via the in-game ENB menu then expand enbeffect and scroll down to nights or interiors and adjust settings there. 

4. Overall image is too dark or bright

Make sure to calibrate your monitor. Unfortunitely, when I create an ENB I can't take into account all the different monitors. For example those with IPS monitors will find colors darker and richer vs what I see on my TN panel monitor. 

5. How do I disable Bloom or DOF

Open the in-game ENB menu by hitting shift+enter and uncheck the lines bloom and Depth of Field and hit save towards the top of the menu. 

6. Was is your ENB such a big FPS compared to other ENBs 

I think this is subjective but, if that is the case it would be more if you are using my Full Quality preset which has a most ENB effects enabled to achieve the best image quality. I guess it pays to play. And in this case, the cost is FPS. 

7. Will you be making a realistic preset for other weather mods

Not sure yet.
