Cjvs Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 So. To make things simple, I'm looking for a new ENB to use. I've grown tired of realvision and want something with flair. color. saturation. but at the same time something not really bright while at the same time not kicking my outdated pc in the ass [the 255 mods already do that] And if possible I'd like if it worked with climates of tamriel. mostly cause I don't like the tedious process of uninstalling it. intel® core i7 cpu 920@ 2.67ghz nvidia gtx 760 gpu and 6gb of RAM I plan to upgrade by building a completely new computer but for now this works. If possible I want an enb for gameplay and one for screenshots. bonus if it works good for both
Snazzishoez Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I was working on building a new rig and ended up just updating my older PC. So I really had to work with something that would not be demanding on FPS. I tried several ENBs with no success. Mostly everything I tried was too dark. Drove me crazy. I ended up with "I Can't Believe It's Not ENB" (a.k.a. Non ENB). I use it with Climates of Tamriel and Imaginator which are required. It also requires/suggests Enhanced Lights and FX, but I don't use that because the indoor areas are way too dark for my liking. I have to carry a torch or use spells in order to see anything in a cave or even indoors. I know people like that kind of thing, but I like to be able to see my character in 3rd person at all times. This may not be what you want, but I find it to be really nice. Most importantly, I'm able to run the game on Ultra settings at 50-60 FPS. As for screenshots...this may not be perfect. I have no idea what you might like in that perspective. I just really like this set up. Check it out and see if it's something you might like. It's worth a shot. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48554/?
Effie Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 In general i like to use the mod ultra realistic world lightning with any enb that doesnt add too much color, cause that lightning mod adds nice non-oversaturated colors to the world and does not add overly strong colors to any lightsource c:
Aurora95 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I was going to make this thread! Every time i try a enb it always looks kinda faded or washed out or weird colors . . . In general i like to use the mod ultra realistic world lightning with any enb that doesnt add too much color, cause that lightning mod adds nice non-oversaturated colors to the world and does not add overly strong colors to any lightsource c: I am going to try this when i get a chance :-)
gaggedgirl123 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Also, I have used Far Off ENB with the Depth of Field turned off for quite a while. I'm usually running a rock solid 60FPS with it (so I use it a lot to test mods) You have a better CPU than I do, and we're pretty evenly matched on GPU. I have 2GB RAM more though, so I don'T know if that would affect it
Spyder Arachnid Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 The ones I constantly go back to is always either Project ENB or Vividian ENB. Currently using Vividian ENB with Purity, but it also supports Climates of Tamriel as well. Go with the vivid version if you want color, and the brighter interiors and exteriors if you don't want it to be too dark at night. And the extra weather patches with Vividian make it awesome. They are both great ENBs and have good performance as well, even on my old system. Another new one I've tried out that is pretty good, is Toric Law of Nature ENB. Very soft and colorful. Not dark at night either. Even has good performance too. And has a neat wet effect during rain and such. It's a very unique ENB and I'd recommend at least checking it out once. If you want major performance, there is a new ENB that just came out recently called Phoenix Cinematic ENB. Just gave that a try as well and it looks rather neat and has great performance. Though it can be rather dark at night. And if you're not a fan of wet oily skin, there is instruction on the main page on how to remove that as well. If you're not very keen on Depth of Field, I'd recommend disabling it on any ENB you try. DoF is pretty demanding and eats performance. You'll get a good 5-10 FPS increase without it, depending on the style. Then just turn it on when you want to take pretty pictures, but leave it off during regular game play.

Aurora95 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Sorry for off topic but i dun wanna make a new thread... What is the safest way to change enbs? Can ya copy the files directly across or do you have to compeltely remove the old enb stuff then copy the new one over?

ao2thend Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Sorry for off topic but i dun wanna make a new thread... What is the safest way to change enbs? Can ya copy the files directly across or do you have to compeltely remove the old enb stuff then copy the new one over? Its best to completely remove the old ENB files before installing the new ones because not everything gets overwritten. The best way to delete an ENB is to keep the original files somewhere, copy them over to your Skyrim folder, overwrite all files, then with the copied files still highlighted, delete them. That way everything is taken out and you don't have to guess which files are ENB files. As far as ENB's go, Here's a few you might want to take a look at. All use COT. Skylight ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48730/? Organic ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38917/? Megatherium ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46320/? CR ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55914/? Millepon Diamond ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62406/? If you would be willing to give up COT, you might be able to find what you are looking for.
Aurora95 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 @ao2thend - I think my skyrim folder is beyond saving at this point with enbs then..blah. ive tried so many without removing anything else first.... oops! Thank for the suggestions! I dont have COT so its all swell :-)
Spyder Arachnid Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 you mean that lighting mod ? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13531/? you use Dark, Normal or Bright version, exactly ? I use this mod for realistic light http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17609/? Agree with Eikichi on lighting. Relighting Skyrim is by far the best lighting mod. Especially with Enhanced Lighting for ENB tagged with it. It's like a match made in heaven and they were meant to be together (well, technically they were since they were worked on by the same people). Both were designed to mesh perfectly with each other and they do just that. Tried all the other lighting mods out there, but none do as good a job as those two together. ELFX, URWL, and RLO might be nice, but the lighting isn't as good as RS+ELE.

You'll do whatever ENB choice you decide on, an injustice, if you're not running Relighting Skyrim and ELE.

I use ELE Lite default version with Relighting Skyrim non-JiT. I still find that too bright f so I also use Darkness - Vanilla Lighting Tweaks which seems very compatible. And Purity by Laast is taking care of outdoor business quite handsomely too. That combo seems a fair bit less spiky performance-wise than say, ELFX or RLO and CoT.
Kaz Aanh Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Make your own ENB. There is a lot of good enbs that aren't that popular. Steal their effects, steal enbpallete and sweetfx, Mix & match.
Cjvs Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 So after using the lighting mod effie mentioned and mixing with clarity enb. I got this while its not bright. it does look nice, when colors are shown theyre vibrant enough for me. though i did have to uninstall cot
sugali Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 using Kinematic Extensive atm , but with some tweak since i dont have such powerfull rig , and here some of my screenshot

As long as you don't mix interior and exterior stuff. So use all the default settings for COT interiors, and don't use any of the ELE exterior/weather modules and you should be alright.
