endomiel Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Does anyone use them? Do you deem the effort of installing them worthwhile? So far, the one's I've seen, don't seem to offer much improvement/alteration, but require quite some effort to install and all of them warn of FPS drops.
Drezz Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 i believe they are very much worthwhile and are a vast improvement upon the vanilla look, and everyone has there enb preference of what they think looks the best, i know people who run it straight vanilla everything, its all a matter of preference i suppose, as for the fps drops, it will depend on your computer specs, but..you can tweak it alot and lower values to your liking to help things run a little smoother, and even on top of things like high res texture packs, you can use things like optimzer textures or downloading a lower res texture pack to help expand on good fps.
aljustineg Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 im using a laptop and im using cute ENB it doesnt affect much FPS or if you want 0 fps drop you could try CinemascopeENB or if you want no enb you can try i cant believe its not enb
spoonsinger Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 If you have the OMMPH yes I think it is worth it. (Actually you'll probably have more problems with script overload than an ENB setup on modern setups). Random in game non screen archery shots taken, (very subjective though) :- No ENB, A SweetFX setup, (bit minimal though) ENB, (Vividian in this case).
endomiel Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the reply, but ENBs still don't "convince" me for the trouble involved.
spoonsinger Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the reply, but ENBs still don't "convince" me for the trouble involved. You could try Imaginator, (MCM version), & Dynavision. No fps loss, can be made to look quite good - well a lot better than default. (Still a totally subjective thing though).
ao2thend Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Trouble? It takes like 3 minutes tops to download, copy/paste, and fix up your .ini file, which isn't asking much. The ENB's on the Nexus are super varied so not only can you get what you want visually, but also performance wise. And because ENB settings can be toggled on or off in game, its easy to adjust the settings to suite your FPS needs during gameplay. If you don't take screenshots of your game, and you can't run Skyrim all that well to begin with, then sure, stay away from ENB's. However, if you have the power to run it, and are even a little bit sick of the old and outdated graphics, then ENB's are a must have. There is no other graphics option that can match what ENB's do, and the only reason I see to not have one, is because you can't run Skyrim all that well to begin with.
Droxillyyn Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 ENB takes minimal effort to install, just a couple of minutes. As far as improvement or alteration, there is quite a selection available. Some do very little, keeping in line with vanilla Skyrim appearance, others change the look of the game in very drastic ways. Some drop framerate significantly, others are hardly noticeable. Here's a couple of screenshots: No ENB: ENB: No ENB: ENB
endomiel Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Well, one ENB I found had instructions to extract the file to where TESV.exe was. Since I'm using SKSE via MO, where should I extract those files to?

Cema Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks for the reply, but ENBs still don't "convince" me for the trouble involved. Not sure if serious ...
Laura Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I'm sure this will convince you. I'm using Sharpshooters ENB.
Gameplayer Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Imaginator and Dynavission are better than most ENB's and function fine with ENB Boost and SINCE its all about Preference I use Realvision because the ENB shadows are beyond all doubt better...... The trouble is that your almost always better off getting an ENB that goes all in but the one thing that really gets me about what can make an ENB Preset real good is simply how it handles Shadows and how it handles Interior Spaces and World Space Night Day Light/Shadow modifiers. Imaginator will not function with properly set ENB presets. Nor will any mod that effects image space modifiers in a Vanilla Fashion such as Predator Vision.

endomiel Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 So, I tried to install Sharpshooter's ENB, since they're all so "easy". I had to download the .dll file from a seperate link, ok. However, that link didn't go to the DLL, but the homepage, which wasn't really intuitive. Finally, I get something that looks ok. I downloaded the other files through MO. When I tried to install the mod through MO, it says something like "It looks to be a BAIN installer." Never heard of it. Then I unpack the "dll" file. That contains a bunch of folders, a "Wrapper" and an "Injector" folder. So far for a simple DLL file. Please note that the ENB page not even once mentions these extra steps. At that point, I gave up, practice haven proven that it's apparently no so easy to install an ENB...

All you had to do for the .dll is: 1. Navigate through boris' website to download the enb (1 min.) 2. Unpack it, look for the d3d9.dll (Click through 2! folders!) (another minute) And for the ENB files themselves, you don't need to use any mod installer actually. Just drop the files (enbseries, enblocal etc.) in your Skyrim folder where your TESV.exe is. And the files in "Data" go into.....Data, you guessed right. What's so hard about it? Skyrim modding isn't kindergarden, you've got to make things work yourself.
endomiel Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Pretty bad documentation with that ENB anyway. So far, I've got every Skyrim mod to run that I wanted to run. Going to take another crack at it then. Thanks for the help nevertheless.
endomiel Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 I installed Sharpshooter's ENB and it looks ok. Especially at night it looked great. I haven't seen much yet during daytime. Thanks for sticking with me!

All ENBs based off Matso and Prod80's shader calls can use both of those mods by simply turning off COLORCORRECTION in the ini or fx files, and every ENB based off the Matso branch (K, Kinematic, Rampage, Grim Winter, Snapdragon, Milipon, HRK) are all fully capable of using them right out of the box.

Mmmh not entirely off either. Although it would appear that there has been quite a version jump and several updates to the ENB series to support things that are not in RealVision Preset. Playing around with another ENB that uses v3.05 that's quite a jump and a change.
