Choosing an ENB/ReShade preset for SSE

[Alan47]

Hi folks,

 

back in Oldrim I have been using RealVision ENB and Snapdragon ENB (specifically the wonderful Toon preset). If you are not familiar with Snapdragon Toon, here's what it looked like:

Very colorful, a quite strong DoF effect, a little motion blur and overall very soft edges at medium contrast. I would like to achieve a similar look in SSE now. Unfortunately, Snapdragon itself has not yet been ported (and I don't know if it ever will be ported) so I'm looking for a suitable alternative. Any recommendations for achieving a similar look?

 

Thanks!

In case somebody is interested: I started out with Dolomite Weathers, ELFX and Phoenix ENB/Re-Shade. It has a really cool (yet gameplay-friendly) DoF effect and is nice to look at overall. Plus, it won't totally kill your framerate.

 

But the end result looked a little too bleak for my tastes. Thankfully, Phoenix ENB comes with several settings that are easy to adjust via the in-game ENB-UI. Playing with saturation, contrast and shadow settings is super simple and gives instant feedback. It's not quite snapdragon (because several ENB effects that snapdragon uses do not yet exist on SSE), but I'm happy with the result nontheless. Playing on constant 60 FPS now on my 970ti is a joy; I wouldn't want to go back to laggy Oldrim anymore.
