📋 About This Mod
Photorealistic ENB
Based off the Vision that Photorealistic Commonwealth had. No disrespect intended, but i though that preset was not entirely good, and could use some improvements. This preset requires PRC's Natural & Athmospheric Commonwealth plugin to look as intended , which overhauls the lighting levels of the game. Kudos to PRC's creator for this plugin! I didn't use PRC's enb preset files to base my preset off. Rather, i started with an old ENB i had, and practically built it up from the ground up!
My rig is far from high end, so i focused on balancing visuals with performance. With this enb on, I literally lose 1 fps, and only in some of the most intense location do i lose maximum 10 fps (will depend on how hard your gpu is being taxed in the Vanilla game, so your milage may vary a bit)
Lite Version Available!
If you want to make your own tweaks to this enb, i would suggest doing it through the NAC Plugin's in game options (you can read about how to do it here), or you can drop me a comment here!
Installation
1) Download the NAC Plugin here
2) Download v. 307 of the ENB files from here
2) Extract the ENB folder. Go inside the Wrapper Version Folder, and copy over the d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files into your fallout 4 directory, where fallout4.exe is located (something like this: C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout4) (Not into the Data Folder!)
3) Download my files and extract and copy them to that same directory, overriding those in there with mine if prompted
Toggle Combinations: Shift + Enter : Show ENB Menu Shift + Z : Turn ENB Off and On in game * Key : show fps

- Check your ENB version compatibility with Fallout 4's current patch, as this preset is from 2016.
