Suggest me a new ENB

[Kaos Wulf]

For as long as I've been using an ENB (early 2013) I've pretty much stuck with RealVision. This is likely because it's the highest endorsed ENB on nexus and because I felt overwhelmed by all the options to choose from. It's been good to me but I'm ready for something new and possibly better. So I will make note of what I want/don't want, and then ask for suggestions for a new ENB to try out and hopefully stick with.

 

What's important to me: realism, immersion, atmospheric, good lighting, performance, relative ease to set up

I used RealVision option B which depended on ELFX too much. Some areas look great but it doesn't support every location.

 

Things I don't want: cinematic feel, film grain, lens glare/dust, FPS killer, too many mod dependancies

Pretty much anything that has the appearance of looking through a camera lens; I want to see the game through my character's eyes, not a camera. DoF is ok though, it makes for good screenshots.

 

So based on that, anyone have suggestions?

Just a few which might fit your criteria:

Personally, I use True Vision, which doesn't rely on too much, but you'll have to put up with 0.236 unless you also have to do much editing to make it work on 0.264.

Phinix Natural ENB is my new favourite.

NLA ENB.

Your welcome. 

 

But in all seriousness you should take a look at this ENB.  As far as lighting goes, its got the most realistic lighting of any ENB I've tried, and I've tried almost all of them.  

 

However, if that doesn't float your boat, here are some ENB's I've been keeping an eye on.

I'm gonna give NLA a go. If I like it, expect to see my barbarian in the SySc page

Cool.  Glad to have helped.

Love NLA but dungeons/caves aren't dark enough. I don't want to go back to using ELFX just for that, since it makes other areas too dark along with this ENB. What to do...

[ao2thend]

Hmm... NLA's GUI has an enbeffect tab where you may be able to edit interior lighting.  Other then that I'm not sure what your could do without a lighting mod like ELFX or RLO.  I used RLO with NLA and had some nice, dark interiors but as you said about ELFX, it can make things really dark in some areas and brighter in others.

Maybe not dark enough, but simple and performance-friendly without depending on other mods.  Though it uses letterboxing, you just need to replace 'enbeffect.fx' with one that does not add letterbox.  Uses enb108 TrueHDR.

If interested, I'll post the files because it's not at Nexus and I forgot where I got it.
