Installation
====================================
Let’s get down to business and put aside all the arty presentation for a moment ;)
If this is your first ENB, please watch this short introductory video by hodilton that shows you how to install any ENB preset.
First and foremost, you’re going to need Boris’ ENBSeries v0. 278 for Fallout 3 / New Vegas binaries.
Only the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe from the 'WrapperVersion' folder is required. Drop the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe into the main Fallout New Vegas folder (not the DATA folder). You need NO other files from the downloaded archive (but you might want to read the included readme's). If however the WrapperVersion doesn't work for you , you should consult the ENB Series documentation contained in the downloaded archive on how to inject ENB into your game executable.
I would hope that it was second nature by now, but for those of you that aren't new to ENB, it's good practice to make sure you’ve removed any old ENB files from the root of Fallout’s game directory before installing new ones. Don't just overwrite. That's a sure-fire way of getting presets mixed up. That means removing old effect.txt files as well and anything contained in the 'enbseries' folder, such as enbeffect.fx - removing old SweetFX stuff would be wise too because they're not all the same and I have tweaked mine a litte. You’re welcome to add your own in later, but do
