About this mod

ENB preset inspired by my love of analog film photography and 35 mm cinematography. I doubt many want to play Skyrim in black and white, but in case you do, I've got you covered.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Donations
Designed with Obsidian Weathers & Seasons (100% weaker sunlight option), Lux, and an HDR monitor.

Inspired by my love of analog film photography and 35 mm cinematography, I aim to make a preset with as minimal a performance impact possible without sacrificing the visual fidelity required by my vision. This is still a work in progress since I am fine-tuning it while enjoying a playthrough. I plan on updating as I get more time to fine-tune the parameters as well as receive any feedback from users.

FEATURING
- Vignetting, chromatic abrasion, sharpening, RGB glitch, and film grain using enbeffectpostprocess.fx from eVx ENB by Sevenence
McFly's Depth of Field for ENB - Skyrim SE (DX11) by Marty McFly

Please, give these mods an endorsement if you like this ENB preset! This preset wouldn't be possible without their hard work!

GOALS
- Minimal performance impact possible without sacrificing visual fidelity
(I'm playing at 1440/60 with 0 fps hit. i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 16gb RAM, Geforce RTX 2080 TI)
- Keep it as lightweight as possible, including the mods I pick for the base (weather, lighting, etc.), making sure it is as easy as possible for users to achieve the best results
- Capture a feel inspired by analog film 
- Subtle nuance in all parameters and FX used
- Painstaking attention to detail
- Dark feels dark while basic navigation is still possible without an extra light source

Installation

  • Make sure you have the latest ENB binaries installed
  • Extract contents from .zip file
  • (optional) if you have your own custom enblocal.ini setup, then feel free to delete mine before moving to step 3. I have FPS capped at 60, dithering turned on, and FXAA turned off for better performance if you want to set these manually.
  • Place all files within the extracted directory into the game folder containing Skyrim.exe
  • Overwrite duplicate files and merge enbseries directory if needed
  • In the vanilla Skyrim launcher options, turn off Screen Space Ambient Occlusion.
  • In-game vanilla settings, set vanilla DoF slider to 0
  • (optional, but recommended) In-game use the Options: Obsidian Weathers power, set Filter to default, Season FX on, and Weaker Sunlight option to 100%.
  • Enjoy!
