Cyrodiil ENB by Montegris (Towdogg's Saturated Realism Edit)
IMPORTANT
REQUIRED MODS FOR THIS EDIT TO WORK AS EXPECTED:
ENB v181: http://enbdev.com/mod_tesoblivion_v0181.htm Cyrodiil ENB: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/46959 Oblivion Reloaded 6. 20: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45749 All Natural Weather: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/18305
DESCRIPTION:
This is a very simple mod, it is a slight edit to the existing 'Cyrodiil ENB' preset by Montegris, which is more saturated, darker, slightly more balanced in my opinion and slightly more realistic, in terms of ambient lighting and indoor/night time brightness. I used to run Candid ENB so some of the bloom edits I have done are direct influence from the GOD LIKE sunrays and bloom effects from that ENB preset. Let me get this clear, I LOVED the default preset from Montegris, but I am a tinkerer, so it's just what I do!
Download and install all required mods linked above, the order in which I installed them: All Natural, followed by Oblivion Reloaded, then ENB v181, and finally Candid ENB by Montegris.
Replace the existing files in your directory with mine, including ENBseries.ini, SweetFX_settings.txt, Oblivion Reloaded Shaders & All Natural.ini
Feel free to replace your Oblivion Reloaded INI with mine, however, this is optional as these might not suit your tastes, just make sure the related settings in your Oblivion Reloaded match those suggested by Montegris on the Cyrodiil ENB mod page.
It's important to note that I cap my FPS at 46 in the ENBseries.ini, change this to your preferences!
I use the SweetFX vignette filter for screenshots which makes the game look more "CINEMATIC", find this setting in the SweetFX_settings.txt
I ALSO SET MY IN-GAME GAMMA (fGamma in Oblivion.ini) VALUE TO 1. 1620, THIS WILL MAKE THE GAME DARKER IF YOU THINK IT'S TOO BRIGHT.
(MAKE SURE TO READ ALL MOD DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY, IT'S GOOD PRACTICE AND WILL HELP TO AVOID HUMAN ERROR DURING INSTALLATION)
Ive included my All Natural & Oblivion Reloaded INI files for your viewing pleasure, or if you want your game to look closer to my screenshots!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Cyrodiil ENB installed first, then overwrite its files with this edit.
- If you use All Natural or Oblivion Reloaded, install them before this ENB to ensure compatibility.
- Check your Oblivion version and ENB series compatibility, as the mod is from 2017 and may need tweaks.
