📋 About This Mod
First ENB preset compatible with Nightvision & Thermal vision, Cateye and other IMOD effects! Always want to feel like Sam Fisher, or maybe like Solid Snake, with all those night operations and tactical approaches, but nightvision goggles and other tactical gadgets don't work with ENB presets, and you can't play with bad graphics? Problem solved! Blackout ENB is now compatible with IMOD and Nightvision!
July 25, 2014 Ok guys, I know you're waiting for an update for a long time already, but as you know - I'm currently busy with Project B42 and I can't work on ENB until the project release. I have a lot more knowledge now how things work in FNV, so when I'll be back to ENB tweaking - I will completely redesign Blackout to make it better, nicer, faster, and, very important, with lots of options and different "moods". Sorry for making you wait.
Requirement: ENBSeries v0. 194 for Fallout New Vegas (DO NOT USE WITH ANTIALIASING) or ENBSeries v0. 173 for Fallout New Vegas (For antialiasing) AND FNV Project Reality MkI by JJC71 or Nevada Skies - Weather Effects BETA 0-6-3 version by Yoss
Blackout pack for ENBseries v0. 194 includes:
Blackout presets for Project Reality users:
- []Baseline - 3 classic presets, balanced #1, darker #2, and realistic #3, each one comes with 4 optional settings, like dark nights, bright nights, etc. []IMOD friendly - Now this is what you're looking for, presets with Nightvision compatibility. Blackout Evolution ENB - baseline, just like previous, but with nightvision. Three optional presets. And R_Evolution ENB - new and very different, but pretty good ENB preset, also compatible with IMODs, comes in 2 optional presets - basic and low saturation.
Blackout presets for Nevada Skies users:
- []Baseline - Good old Nevada Skies classic preset. Only one preset. []IMOD friendly - And nightvision version. Also only one preset.
Blackout presets for Vanilla users:
- Baseline - for hardcore vanilla atmosphere. Comes without nightvision compatibility due to limitations and low popularity of Vanilla game ;)
Blackout pack for ENBseries v0. 173 includes same presets, but for those users who want to use forced antialiasing (details down below)
All presets comes with turned off Depth of Field effect to prevent FPS hit for those who don't have powerful r
