4. Turn OFF hardware Anti-aliasing & Anisotropic filtering ENB handles both of these.
Mod Organizer users please remember you have a built-in ini editor for your profiles and you may have to turn these off there as well.
You must also make sure HDR is ON in the game launcher as well.
5. That's it! Read the sticky notes in the comments section if you run into trouble!View Distance Decreased - Modified This one is really important and makes a huge difference in visual quality in the distance. Let's face it, fallout 3 LOD is shet and this covers it up nicely while providing some complimentary fog for the preset.
F03 Flora Overhaul Use the "Forested" edition since it compliments this preset more than anything else. Despite what some may say, it's actually very realistic since radiation would not be as potent after 200+ years. If anything flora would be thriving more than ever. Anyway it looks pretty :)
NMCs Texture Pack for Fallout 3 Enhanced Blood Textures Alternate Megaton Lighting Fallout 3 Redesigned - Formally Project Beauty I cannot recommend this enough, it fixes a ton of skin color issues and coincidentally gets rid of ENB shadow glitches on beards/hairstyles of many NPCs
