Is there an ENB manager for easy install/uninstall of ENBs?

[Rabblerouser]

I found one on the nexus, however, apparently there are issues with it. I'm curious just how many other tools there might be for ENB presets.

 

 

I'm 100% new to ENBs with a somewhat slow rig so I'm trying to find my way through this maze.

Since almost all ENB's are installed manually, they have to be uninstalled that way. 

 

All Presets have different file counts and some use SweetFx , some use Lighting ESPs etc.  and so an uninstaller just wouldn't work. Though I could be wrong.

 

I test a lot of ENB's and my best suggestion is when you copy paste the files into the directory, leave that window open with the files still highlighted and enter your game. If the results are not what you like you can easliy exit and just deleted the already Highlighted files.... BUT if the preset added Data files, be careful not to delete that directory or say goodbye to games core files. (truest me i've done this). I usually use mod organizer for the Data files.

 

Most don't use the extra Data files and esp's, and so its usually not an issue.

 

Hope this helped.

You can try one of these :

• ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager and Remover
• ENB Manager and Changer
• ENB Man - An ENB Manager

You can find them on nexusmods. But as Kelthos says, sometimes you have to do it manually.

You could also go old school and pipe a directory listing to a txt file then edit it to delete the files from enb, you would unzip the enb where ever it was convinient, open a command prompt in that directory then type dir /b /s >filelist.txt

 

Though you can use any name you want instead of filelist

 

After doing this open the txt file up and change the path to del, rename it to .bat then run it in you skyrim directory, it should then delte all the files for that enb.

change the G:\0000 - Games Updates\0001 - Elder Scrolls - Skyrim\hdtHavokModifier\

so it looks like this instead, do this by find/replace in notepad.

Save the new file and then rename it from txt to bat, place it in your skyrim directory and run, it should ask you if you want to delete each file, when you are more happy with things you can remove the prompt to delete each file and just have it run.

 

Try it on your working location first of course.

 

 

Note this would work on any mod not just enb.  Opps just noticed make sure to remove the del meshes del textures and any other base folders eg scripts skse it might pick up.

If you're talking about this one, I use it and never had any problem with it.

I don't know which one you've tried, but ENB Man works great alongside MO. You just may not open it via MO!

In the old version there was a bug though that it couldn't clean up all files when switching ENB sets, so I've accustomed to first disable the current one before enabling the new. Since then I had no problems at all. Didn't try if it's working directly since the last update yet.

RCRN directly installs your ENB and even configures it for you... it will also instill Hialgoboost and configure it for you as well. And when you want to upgrade your ENB, it's as simply as clicking the uninstall button and dragging the new ENB zip file to the appropriate place.... it doesn't get any easier than that

If you're not concerned with the loose files laying around, all you really need to do is delete the .dll's it comes with.
