Question: Why did you make ENB specifically for Solas? Will this ENB work with other weather mods? Answer:
Spoiler:
Show
Technically, E.V.C. will work with any weather mods. Practically, most likely it will look bad. E.V.C. ENB is specially created and finely tuned for the SOLAS Weathers and ENB. Solas is a great mod, but greatly underestimated. Solas is carefully tuned, beautiful, has its own interesting features and FPS friendly.
Probably E.V.C. will look good with NLA SSE, because Solas and NLA are from the same author and are similar. It is also possible that the E.V.C. will look more or less good with a NAT, but I did not check it.
Question: What about performance? How does this ENB compare to other ENBs? Answers (from E.V.C. users):
Spoiler:
Show
I don't know how, but this ENB in particular runs super smooth compared to other ENBs... Every other ENB I've tried (i've tried several dozens) have dropped my frames to 50 and under, but with E.V.C, my framerate rarely drops below 55-60+ FPS with a 1660 Ti! On top of that, this ENB looks really great and has more of the vibe I'm looking for in an ENB than other ones. I would definitely recommend this ENB for others to try out!
"About performances...I'm like... W
W !!!! Got a solid 40/45fps (sometimes 50) in heavily modded exteriors areas where i was at a shy 30/35 before. I can finally instal big cities and villages overhauls, and it seems like no impact at all, my game has changed so hard since a week i'm using your enb"
"I see how much work you put in here, and it shows. Focusing on performance was a baller move btw, FPS ftw!"
"Endorsed! Been playing with the ENB for 3-4 hours and so far loving it with surprisingly good performance. Getting consistent 55-60 fps in Riften and Falkreath even with Dyndolod. Hope more people see this and try it out, Great job!"
"Not using game vol rays and EVLaS saves you 2-8 fps depending on time and shadow textures resolution, while still looking great and having a nice morning/evening feel."
"This looks amazing and I still get a smooth 60fps even with a ton of graphical mods. I don't think that's ever happened? Fantastic job, thank you! To be fair I do have a beefy GPU (3070Ti), but STILL. I don't think I've tried another ENB that looks as nice as this with no discernible fps loss at all :)"
"Beautiful and performance friendly great job!"
"Ok, I'm blown away... this is super impressive. Firstly well presented and nicely explained. Then the actual ENB and man you are really talented. Great performance and very nice graphics. Thank you sir!"
"He did get me a few more fps, but still frustrating at 4k, maybe my computer is bottlenecking."
"This ENB doesn't balance visuals and performance. It shines in both aspects tremendously. Beautiful, Instantly became my main."
"I've been using Cathedral Weathers and Silent Horizons ENB well... forever but I decided to give SOLAS and your ENB a go and I must say I'm in love. My game looks jaw dropping and performance is even better than with my previous choice with, imo, better quality. Thank you again, sir!"
"I tried with NLA and ELFX (elfx, elfx fixes) and the result is very good. Since my video card is rx580 8gb, even though I had to turn off the Bloom and Ambient occulission effects, the result was very successful, thank you."
Question: Do I need to use EVLaS or DVLaSS? What happens if I use them? Why are there no settings for the EVLaS? Answer:
Spoiler:
Show
Technically, they will work. But, there is no need to use EVLaS or DVLaSS with E.V.C. ENB. This will give you extra FPS. My preset is configured to work without these mods and looks good without these mods. If you use EVLaS or DVLaSS with the E.V.C. ENB, you will get sunsets, sunrises and nights different from what they were planned in E.V.C. ENB.
Question: How to increase performance even more? Answer:
Spoiler:
Show
From user okcheese124: SSE Display Tweaks Skyrim Project Optimization SE eFPS - Exterior FPS boost Also, if you find that, when loading into a new area, your game stutters a lot, try: opening NVIDIA control panel, go to 3d settings, and set low latency mode to ultra (this was mentioned in the display tweaks mod).
Question: I am getting very wide spread horizontal glare on bright areas (like stars at night, bonfires, braziers or holes in a roof inside of a house, or small windows.. even white flowers). What am I doing wrong? Answer:
Spoiler:
Show
You need to carefully read the installation instructions on the description page and disable Lens Flare in the Skyrim Launcher. Or set bIBLFEnable=0 in SkyrimPrefs.ini You have to change this settings in the right place. If you have BethINI installed, then you need to change the settings of the INI files through the BethINI interface. If you use Mod Organizer 2, then you must change the settings of the INI files through the Mod Organizer 2 interface. Question: Spells decals or windows in interiors are too bright. Answer:
Spoiler:
Show
Spells decals use the [WINDOWLIGHT] settings from ENB. I increased the brightness of the windows in the interiors depending on the weather outside, so the spells decals are so bright in clear or cloudy weather outside. The solution is to enable IgnoreWeatherSystemInterior in the [WINDOWLIGHT] section in the left panel of the ENB GUI (press HOME to activate ENB GUI). But in this case, the brightness of the windows in the interiors will not depend on the weather outside.
Version 1.3 WIP has grown into version 2.0. The volume of changes in the new version compared to the previous version 1.24 is so large that it deserves a separate version. In fact, it is E.V.C. ENB 2.
The new version is made more dramatic, contrasting, beautiful and cinematic, while retaining a fairly realistic look and other advantages of the previous version. This also applies to the interiors, which I tried to make more interesting. The nights have also changed a lot, I have spent a lot of time on this, they are now brighter, more diverse and fantasy.
The installation of the E.V.C. ENB is now made as simple as possible. E.V.C. now comes with a FOMOD installer with all the necessary files and patches, just follow the instructions of the installer. As for the ENB files, all editions are now delivered in one archive, where performance and DOF options have also been added.
The LUT presets have been revised and redesigned, now there are fewer of them, but they are more unique. With just a few mouse clicks, you can change the atmosphere of Skyrim for yourself. Try it, you'll probably like it.
There are a huge number of changes, it makes no sense to describe them all, and I don’t remember much.
What is version 1.Final
I know that some of you like the original version of E.V.C., these are versions 1.xx. And, since version 2.0 is significantly different from the previous version, I decided to reanimate version 1.24. This version was rebuilt, minor bugs were fixed, its own FOMOD installer was also made for it with all the necessary files and patches, and ENB files were rebuilt. Thus, the development of version 1.xx is finished and I present to you version 1.Final. This is a fully working, time-tested, polished version. It cannot be said that version 2.xx is better than version 1.Final, or vice versa, they are just different. Version 1.Final is more bleak and probably realistic.
You should use E.V.C. ENB_Required Files and Patches - FOMOD and E.V.C. ENB_All Editions either version 2.xx or version 1.Final, but do not mix them.
Hi, so love the enb and its working properly, but for some reason, at certain times my frames drop and it just gets stuck on one frame. u can say it lags sometimes. Didn't have this problem when I was running NAT 3 with an older device, so I'm confused why it's happening on my newer much better device.Its not like my laptops overheating either
Does anyone know what could be causing my enb to suddenly not work in game? It was working fine yesterday but for some reason my game goes back to vanilla graphics and I cant even use the enb gui. Idk if this helps but I was trying to create a new profile/instance on MO2 to test a certain mod out but then I didnt need it anymore so I deleted that profile/instance then afterwards my enb stopped working. Hotkeys dont work at all. Only Shift+enter does.
hiii im fairly new to modding and i really want to install this ENB, but I'm a bit confused about how to install it properly. Is there a video guide with step-by-step instructions or something like that?
Also, I previously downloaded the Rudy ENB with Cathedral Weathers - Zangdar's edit with LUX through such a video, how can I safely uninstall this ENB from my game/replace it with this?
Follow up question, the description said the SOLAS weather requirements are not required, so do i just download the weather plugin and resources normally in Mo2? without the need of any of the requirements? how will it work?
Hi, there are no video instructions. How to uninstall other mods see their pages, I don't know what files they install.
"so do i just download the weather plugin and resources normally in Mo2?" - Yes, details below:
Download and install Solas ENB Weather Plugin and Resources - ESP, meshes and textures (via mod manager or manually): - install Solas ENB.esp (no need to install Solas ENB Particle Snow Patch.esp, it's already included in my patch, no need to install Solas ENB SoS Patch.esp, I have a separate patch for it).
oohh okay thank you!! I had another question: I'm running into issues relating to my graphics card driver settings, and I don't have the option to select full dynamic output range on my Nvidia control panel (I don't use a monitor, just my laptop screen) How crucial is this step? Could I do without it? I'm not that good at tech stuff so I wouldn't wanna accidentally ruin my laptop hahaha
oh and which INI files should I use if Im running both BethINI and MO2? Do I just use the ini in the games directory?
I am actually flabbergasted by how good this preset is. If anyone is looking for good atmosphere but you still want to play the game at a smooth 60 fps, stop looking and just install this preset. I have used presets that don't look half as good as this one and yet they drop my fps by like 30. The creator is unironically some kind of enb sorcerer. 10/10
Good question. In fact, I am constantly updating and improving the ENB for myself, including new SkyScattering feature. But I use ELE, and redesigning ENB for other interior mods takes a lot of time, which I don't have yet.
Do I need to upload ELE-only version? (Maybe someday I'll find time to redo all versions)
I use Lux personally, I've never tried ELE. I was just wondering if you were still working on this preset since it's about to be a year since you last updated it and ENB got the new SkyCattering feature that looks really nice in the screenshots I've seen. I hope you find the time to update your preset in the future as it has become one of my favorites.
Yes please :) I am working on Skyrim is Luminous build and want to test E.V.C ELE version with it. It would be great to have updated version for new ENB shinies.
First off thank you for this wonderful ENB. I've been using it for years and while i test other ENBs from time to time i always come back to yours. Your work is greatly appreciated :) My sister and i also use the ELE version with Skyrim is Luminous and looking forward to your next update. Thank you for all your work and have a great day!
Крайне восхищён этим ENB, работает действительно прекрасно. Единственный ENB, с помощью которого на средней графической сборке с 3060 я имею 60 фпс. Но меня немного смущает то, что вода под открытым голубым небом ОЧЕНЬ синяя. Вот будто краску разлили. Это можно как-то поправить в настройках самого ENB? Использую рекомендованные Solas и Water for ENB.
Благодарю. Воду не исправить, это особенность работы ENB (не все эффекты неба учитываются при отрисовке отражений). Эффекты неба я не буду переделывать, т.к. на этом завязано пол ENB.
