📋 About This Mod
1. Download the v0278 binaries or higher from
enbdev.comOn the binary's download page, the download button is at the bottom of the page on the left.
2. Open the "Wrapper" folder. Copy & Paste only the d3d9.dll and enbhost into your main fallout folder.
program files (x86) > steam > steamapps > common > fallout new vegas
Some Fallout NV 4GB Launcher users have to put the d3d9.dll into the "exes" folder.
3. Download Chromatic Melancholy ENB. Open the download and copy/paste the following:
a. enbseries folder, b. enblocal and c. enbseries ini file into your main fallout folder.
4. Turn OFF hardware Anti-aliasing & Anisotropic filtering. ENB handles both of these.
Failing to do this step will lead to see-through walls, mountains, water and more.
You must also make sure HDR is ON in the game launcher as well.

This preset does not rely on any weather mods. Please don't ask if it works with any specific ones, I do not use them.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 923 endorsements and over 28k downloads.
- Brings vibrant colors to the often dull Mojave, making the wasteland feel more alive.
- Simple to install—just drop the files into your FNV directory.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or other mods.
- Requires an ENB series binary, which is not included and must be downloaded separately.
- Vibrant presets aren't for everyone—if you prefer a gritty, realistic look, this might not be your cup of tea.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want to inject color and vibrancy into the Mojave without tweaking ENB settings themselves. If you're into gritty, desaturated wastelands, skip this—it's all about vivid hues.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest ENB Series binary for Fallout: New Vegas installed first, as this preset only includes the configuration files.
- After installing, launch the game and check the in-game ENB menu (Shift+Enter) to adjust settings if the preset looks too bright or too dark for your taste.
- If you use other visual mods like weather or lighting overhauls, test compatibility—this preset may override some of their effects.
