📋 About This Mod
NEWEST VERSION RELEASED ON THE NEXUS
NEW VERSION OF NEVADA ENB RELEASED SEPARATELY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Realistic ENB WIP News: Download http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55764/? and install this fix to enable night vision with the ENB. Soon I'll update and upload the preset with custom settings using the ENB Nightvision mod. Thanks a lot Scott for this fantastic utility! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Original idea by xCamoLegend SweetFX suite by Bulotaur and CeejayDK by Kputt. ENB shaders and settings by Courier and Kyo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------------
Download the base ENB binaries from enbdev.com/download_mod_falloutnv.htm Extract the files to your base NV folder (not the data folder) (ENB wrapper, not injector) Extract the files from this ENB into the NV folder and overwrite when asked. Make sure there are no config files outside of the enbseries folder Open the game launcher and disable AF (anisotropic filtering) and AA (antialiasing), disable transparency aa and water multisampling (if water ripples give you visual errors, disable water displacement too). If the game crashes on startup, make sure the sweetfx folder is there and the enblocal is properly configured, if it still refuses to work, use the injector version of ENB.
!!!!!!! WHEN DOWNLOADING THE VERSION YOU CHOOSE HERE, YOU ONLY NEED THE WEATHER MOD SPECIFIC TO THAT VERSION, YOU DON'T NEED BOTH. RWL ENB USES FNV REALISTIC WASTELAND LIGHTING, NS ENB USES NEVADA SKIES. !!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description:
This ENB has the purpose to achieve the way the actual nevada desert looks, white and blue tones, blinding sun, hot and washed.
RWL version is up and running, get it while it's still hot! Fog settings still under testing, I did them using Nevada Skies URWL. Custom bloom settings. Tweaked color palette and color correction settings. Complex SweetFX settings to achieve the lively yet believable look. Edited bokeh parameters for DoF heavily, achieving a heavy bokeh effect without achieving a strong DoF effect. Custom sunglare and lens parameters/settings.
Special thanks to xCamoLegend for coming up with the idea <3. Lots of love to Sal for making RWL, and to Yossarian22 for making Nevada Skies! Regards to Kyo for his help and endless source of files.
