Page 1 of 2 - How do I install ENB?Heh.Hehehe - posted in Skyrim Mod Talk: This must be a pretty dumb question because of the number of people who have installed it. I looked in the download page of the enbdev site but there was no links except for the d3d39 and d3d940. Installation: Extract the downloaded mod to your Skyrim directory, not data, where the games launcher is found. Also download the glowing water at night fix from the downloads and extract it the same way. Jul 24, 2012 my enb has text files called 'enbeffect' and 'enbseries', with settings like bloomeffect=1 indirectlightingquality=0.075, etc. Dec 28, 2011 i5-4690k, 16Gb RAM, GTX 1060 6Gb, Win7 I am INFP, not the brutal, godamnit. A simple guide on how to install ReShade, ENB and their presets, plus a list of recommended presets. The Special Edition of Skyrim came out, and with it ReShade and ENB presets. This will be a step-by-step guide on how to install ReShade 3, ENB and their presets. First things first you need to.
The Skyrim series continues, one of the most played video games of all times that will most likely never get old. I’ve talked about visuals and general graphics in many articles by now, this time I want to create a helpful list with the best ENBs for The Elder Scrolls V, Special Edition included! Needless to say this is for PC players only, since you can’t install this kind of enhancements on console.
ENB is a graphic mod created by Boris Vorontsov in 2007 and it basically has the same functionality of ReShade, applying different processing effects and changing a game’s appearance completely. You can easily install it by placing the required files in the main folder where you can find the executable.
Before installing any kind of preset be sure to grab the main files for Skyrim here. If you want to try ENB with other titles, on this page you can find the compatible games under Graphic modifications.
Also be sure you read all the needed descriptions added by the authors before grabbing their presets, since they usually include very important instructions such as .ini tweaks and required/suggested mods for the best result. ENB is also more technical than ReShade, a wrong installation could make your game crash whenever you try to load a save.
One of the best options included in ENB is Depth Of Field, which as you all know by now, makes the background blurry keeping your character or element of choice in focus like in real photography. There are different settings available for DOF and you can modify them yourself playing around with the values (you open the ENB console with CTRL + Enter, or Alt + Enter, or Alt + F2 depending on how the preset is configurated). In most cases the authors offer you optional files for different DOF settings directly.
Preset 1: The Grim and Somber
Grim and Somber is one of the most used configurations and it offers different color schemes you can choose from (Vaermina, Malacath, Jyggalag, Hircine and Azura). Get the one you like most from the examples or experiment with all of them to see which one satisfies your tastes more!
Preset 2: K ENB Pure Light
This preset is surely one of the best out there, but it sadly has a huge downside: it can use a lot of memory and even the performance edition may display a low framerate from time to time. It’s a heavy thing this one, yes, but if your hardware is good enough I definitely suggest you to give it a shot as well. It was my very first ENB and I loved how the game looked with it.
Preset 3: Tranquility ENB
Quite a mix between Grim and Somber and K ENB in terms of colors and atmospheres. Tranquility is a great presets for sceneries and looks wonderful at sunset.
Preset 4: Rudy ENB
Let it gooooooooooooo let it gooooooooooooooo-err *clears throat*
You probably need a few additional mods for overall lighting and atmosphere (like ELFX) in order to make this preset look like the examples offered on the page, but it gives you realism and quality without affecting the performance too much, thus I’d say it’s definitely worth it.
Preset 5: KR ENB
I’m not sure if this is a sort of alternative version using the K ENB as base, but I’ve played Skyrim with it for a bit and I can say it’s completely different in terms of effects and performance. It has very beautiful and vivid colors, looks best with warm tones.

Preset 6:Snapdragon Prime
Among the ones I’ve tried so far this is my favorite ENB. First of all, I absolutely love the bokeh effect when DOF is activated, but what makes this configuration epic is the number of custom schemes available, plus the three free slots you can fill with your own LUTs. All the needed instructions are included in the download.
Preset 7: Vividian ENB
Vividian has very soft tones and is great for showcasing your playthrough, seems to look particularly good in forests and foggy environments.
Preset 8: Stakado Cinemascope ENB
As the name suggests, this preset is specifically made for a cinematic experience. It creates a very filmic atmosphere enhanced by the letterbox that can be hidden at any time if you don’t want it.
Preset 9: Antique Dragon
This preset is next in my list of ENBs to try out. The colors look amazing in pretty much every kind of atmosphere and it offers the same LUTs palette switching from Snapdragon.
Preset 10: Noir ENB
Last but not least, the wonderful Noir preset by Rusey. This look is very unique for its overall dark/black and white tones mixed with a very saturated red that stands out with visible blood and general warm colors. There also is a deep blue variation on the download page.
It is very important to carefully check the list of compatible or incompatible mods in every ENB description, in order to avoid conflicts and get distorted graphics. https://heavenlybooth733.weebly.com/blog/dying-light-torrent-download.
For a list of useful and recommended mods for environments and characters you can see this post, also check the Console Commands section if you don’t know how to use the incorporated photo mode.
“How can I switch between different ENBs? Can I simply overwrite the files?”
Overwriting will most likely fail, because remnants from the previous preset could remain in your folder and this will cause an unwated crash or a wrong appearance. I suggest you to download the ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager and Remover to easily and permanently delete every installed file and start anew.
Some ENB creators also want you to install the ENBHelper.
Optional, but highly recommended, is the Particle Patch and Subsurface Scattering for ENB. Another useful file is the SkyrimPrefs and INIs for Performance and Graphics Boost.
If you are into screenarchery I suggest you to use a photo studio mod for your characters, such as Aether Suit (best one), Review Studio, KurooNeko Photo Studio and Nausicaa.
UPDATE 08/6/2017: I just found out there is a program named ENB Manager and Changer, a Java application. With this tool you apparently can easily switch between presets without the usual operation, but it doesn’t seem to be user friendly at all. Also, considering you have to apply modifications to the main .ini file most of the time while installing a new ENB, I’m not exactly sure it works smoothly unless someone can confirm it’s still reliable despite being quite old.
Install Enb For Skyrim
Note: Skyrim SE also works ReShade. In some cases you can even use the two graphic mods together.
Preset 1: Rudy ENB
A few authors are converting their old presets for the new Skyrim, although the 64bit version is still limited compared to the old one and a lot of mods cannot be properly installed, included ENB apparently.
Preset 2: Re-Engaged ENB
A bit similar to Vividian, this mod has been nominated the File of the Month in January 2017.
Preset 3: Nyclix’s ENB-Reshade
Very colorful and powerful, this LUT includes both ReShade and ENB.
Preset 4: Cinematic FIlm Looks Tone2 gladiator free download.
Just like Cinemascope, CFL gives you a deep filmic immersion with different presets to choose from.
Preset 5: K ENB Pure Light (WIP)
Another conversion from Oldrim to the Special Edition. As you can see from the screenshots this LUT looks less saturated than the previous one, but it creates a soft and nice “pastel” overlay. The configuration is still in a sort of Beta phase and has a lot of issues if you try to setup a custom resolution for screenshots through SRWE.
Preset 6: Zera ENB
Enb Install Skyrim .319
This vivid preset works wonderfully with weather mods.
You cannot find as many ENBs for SSE like you do with normal Skyrim. Although the updated version was supposed to bring improvements, in my opinion it only makes sense on console for the general retextures and polished looks. The PC version already had an additional HD pack for better maps and the new 64bit binary is not compatible with previous mods like SKSE (primary addon that makes many other mods work).

Skyrim Enb Install Instructions
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim version remove color filter, fix some game bugs/crashes, etc.
Modification do not have graphic preset, by default it's ugly unconfigured (unless specified in description of version), so you need to download such presets made by users, feel free to visit my forum or Nexus site for them. Also you can edit parameters to your own taste inside integrated editor (display it by pressing SHIFT and ENTER keys together, by default). Effects and features includes: memory usage reducing and crash preventing, color filters, programmable post process shaders and camera effects, bloom, subsurface scattering, depth of field, indirect lighting and ambient occlusion, lens reflections, detailed shadows and improved quality of original shadows, image based lighting, time of the day and weather dependent parameters, reflections, sun rays, fire and particle controls, soft particles and lights from particles, fps limiter, fps measure, screenshot capture. Version 0.088 is the first version released for the game, include just bugs and performance fixes of the game. Version 0.102 Tatsudoshi is New Year 2012 release, the same as previous versions, it use fake 'ENB' video adapter to fix game bugs like transparent water and invisible fire (not actual now, but users of Radeon 2xxx/3xxx still have these issues). Not recommended, because it's very slow. Version 0.103 Injector first version with special ENBInjector tool which allow to run mod while some incompatible software used (Afterburner, XFire, etc) or for Optimus laptops. Not recommended, because it's very slow. Version 0.108 TrueHDR is very fast and simplified without most effects. Version 0.119 last non deffered which completely support hardware antialiasing (msaa), but at cost of performance and quality. Latest versions support antialiasing, but some effects do not work. Version 0.132 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets. Version 0.168 just a progress, requested to keep on the site for compatibility with some presets. Version 12.12.12 is performance optimized, but it's very old. Version 13.7.13 is the last which optimized for old videocards of DirectX10 generation like GeForce 8xxx/9xxx/2xx and Radeon 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx, so each version after that developed corresponding to modern DX11 generation of videocards which have much faster arithmetics. Some effects may run slower for old cards, but faster for new. Sorry, but i can't make two versions, so after purchasing modern videocard everything changed accordingly. Version 0.192 and newer include ENBoost patch (available for some other games too) which reduce memry usage of the game and as result fewer CTDs (crashes) and you may install much more modifications. Version 0.226 support helper plugin which allow to use weather system and time without problems with game scripting. Version 0.290 added support of SDK to control parameters. Version 0.303 added new ENBoost 6.0 functionality for higher stability at cost of performance. Version 0.304 added localization support. Version 0.305 added dawn and dusk times of the day, which can be disabled for compatibility with old presets. All newest versions are compatible with each over and i recommed to use latest. Hardware antialiasing (msaa) supported in versions 0.119 and lower for all effects, all other version use deffered rendering which do not support aa. But in latest mods (starting from v0.180 if i remember, inclufing v13.7.13) you may enable antialiasing, many effects will turn off automatically then, but in general colors will be the same. Presets are compatible with other versions of the mod with minor changes. For example 0.088-0.119 versions may use the same preset, 0.119-0.132 too, 0.132-0.168, etc. v0.389 v0.292 v0.262 v0.236 v0.221 v13.7.13 v0.168 v0.132 v121212 v0.119 v0.117 beta v0.108 TrueHDR v0.103 Injector v0.102 Tatsudoshi Comments are closed.
