| Before installing any of the ENBs, you'll need Boris Vorontsov's [http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm ENBSeries]. Most ENBs are using version 0.119; however, refer to the ENB's documentation to be sure you download the correct version for your ENB. (Version 0.123 is mainly for testing purposes so don't use it unless the ENB says to. Hardware AA is ''not'' supported in version 0.123)
| | #REDIRECT [[Guide:ENB]] |
| : Extract ONLY "''WrapperVersion/d3d9.dll''" to your root Skyrim folder.
| |
| : In your "''SkyrimPrefs.ini''" file, set the following in the ''<nowiki>[Display]</nowiki>'' section:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
| |
| bTreesReceiveShadows=1
| |
| bDrawLandShadows=1
| |
| bShadowsOnGrass=1
| |
| fGamma=1.0000
| |
| iMultiSample=0
| |
| bTransparencyMultisampling=0

| == ENB Complimenting Mods ==
| |
| | |
| :'''Darkness'''
| |
| :*[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12454 Dark Dungeons for ENB] This tells ENB to render dungeons as though its night (otherwise it lights them as though its daylight)
| |
| :*Many ENBs include optional files for darker caves, dungeons, and nights. Check with your ENB for these options before using a third party option.
| |
| :*<big>Creepy Dungeons has been removed due to many structural errors in the file</big>
| |
| :'''Fog'''
| |
| :*[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9571 Remove Ambient Interior Fog] This removes the ambient or "glowing fog" that looks terrible with ENB
| |
| :*[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9930 Revamped Exterior Fog] This reduces the density of exterior fog and increases the distance that it starts becoming opaque, again works much better than vanilla with ENB
| |
| :*Some mods that are often combined with ENBs are not compatible with the above mods (i.e. Climates of Tamriel, Realistic Colors and Real Nights, etc) As good modding practice, please review the Readme of any mod you plan on using.
| |
| :'''Performance'''
| |
| :*[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/736 Interior and Dungeon Fog Remover] Completely removes fog meshes from all indoor locations
| |
| :*[http://mrhaandi.blogspot.com/p/injectsmaa.html Standalone SMAA] This can either replace the in game AA for much more performance or you can add it to forced driver AA for more quality
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Recommended ENB Configurations ==
| |
| | |
| There are ENB and other lighting mods that come in just about every style and color. This section can be extremely subjective and as such we suggest you browse around to find the perfect solution to fit your tastes. A Post-Processing Pack to offer numerous and varied suggestions is being planned, but in the mean time we offer three of our favorites as a starting point.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <big>[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23765 SkyRealism - ENB Evolved]</big>
| |
| : '''Baseline''': ENBSeries v0.119 <!--Realistic Colors and Real Nights (RCRN) is the recommended lighting mod. (see the ENB Guide)-->
| |
| <!--*# If planning to use [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1875 RCRN] do '''not''' install Climates of Tamriel (see section 2.C of the guide) or the Fog mods above.-->
| |
| :# The "''Cinematic''" or "''Vanilla''" presets are the recommended choices.
| |
| :# Turn off Bloom and/or DOF if you don't like it via the enbseries.ini file. It is recommended to turn off SSAO via the enbseries.ini file as well. (see the ENB Guide)
| |
| :#* More powerful rigs with Nvidia graphics can leave SSAO turned on for increased visuals. SSAO isn't available on AMD so there's no reason to use it.
| |
| :#* For less powerful rigs it is recommended you turn off both DOF and SSAO as they have the most performance impact.
| |
| :# Copy the folder contents (''effect.txt'', ''enbbloom.fx'', etc.) to your root "''Skyrim''" folder ('''not''' your "''Data''" folder).
| |
| | |
| | |
| <big>[http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20781 Project ENB]</big>
| |
| : '''Baseline''': ENBSeries v0.119 & Performance option "DoF only"
| |
| :# If <u>not</u> planning to use [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17802 Climates of Tamriel] (see section 2.C of the guide), use "''Project ENB (Standalone)''".
| |
| :# Ignore the "''Data''" and "''Optional effects''" folders.
| |
| :# In the appropriate "''Project ENB''" folder there are five choices. "''Option C (DOF only)''" is the recommended choice.
| |
| :#* More powerful rigs with Nvidia graphics can use "''Option A (DOF + SSAO)''" for increased visuals. SSAO isn't available on AMD so there's no reason to use it.
| |
| :#* Less powerful rigs use "''Option D (No DOF + No SSAO)''".
| |
| :# Copy the folder contents (''effect.txt'', ''enbbloom.fx'', etc.) to your root "''Skyrim''" folder ('''not''' your "''Data''" folder).
