📋 About This Mod
Better Performance, Better View
DECENT ENB is inspired by noidkid's Subtle ENB. Many thanks for noidkid's awesome work.

If you are looking for a more realistic and photographic preset, check DECENT PLUS which is an evolved version of this mod.
This ENB preset aims to make the game look more realistic and be playable at the same time. It's optimized for gameplay, so it won't cause much performance hit. In various scenes, it only causes 8~18 fps drop which is a small loss, tested on different hardwares, including PCs with GTX1060, GTX970, GTX960, GTX750ti and a laptop with GTX860m.
I try to remain the vanilla color and brightness, so there will not be color distortion or too dark scenes. Of course you can still use Darker Nights to make nights darker.
I highly recommend to install the mod Vivid Weathers. You will get awesome image of sunrise and sunset as my pictures show if you use DECENT ENB with the "Natural Bright Colors" in Vivid Weathers. (DECENT ENB is also compatible with True Storms or any other weather mods. You can choose your favor.)
With DECENT ENB, your game will become more detailed and vivid. Let's have a look.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community backing (8,248 endorsements) — this preset is battle-tested
- Performance-friendly design means you can keep your FPS while looking better
- Natural look avoids the over-saturated or washed-out feel of many ENBs
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods
- Performance gains depend on your hardware; older GPUs may still struggle
For Skyrim players who want a visual upgrade without tanking their frame rate. If you're tired of ENBs that look great in screenshots but run poorly in combat, this is for you. Skip if you want heavy graphical overhauls or if you're on a potato PC — even 'performance-friendly' ENBs need a decent GPU.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to disable the game's built-in anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering to avoid conflicts with ENB effects.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install the preset files, and always run the ENB binary from the ENBseries website.
- If you experience crashes, try updating your graphics drivers and ensure you have the latest Skyrim patch installed.
