📋 About This Mod
DEAPRI was kind enough to merge VIVANTO'S IMAGINATOR MCM into the base file! The HELPER - often maligned as the source of dreaded Save Game Bloat - has been removed.
Please note that this is an interim solution - hence calling it BETA. I'm hoping to find time to add more functionality as well as hot-keys (for better color correction that available via MCM).
MCM = Mod Configuration Menu and is available as part of SKYUI. As such, SKYUI and SKSE are required.
It is best if you clean your SAVE from the old IMAGINATOR SCRIPTS before installing V2. It'll cut down on potential problems. Instructions on cleaning saves are here:
INSTALLATION : Gearing Up for Warzones 2015
Yes, I know that's a WARZONES 2015 instruction page, but until I have time to set up an IMAGINATOR page, it'll have to do ;) Scroll down to the PREPARING YOUR SAVE and follow the directions. Once the old Helper Script is gone from your game, you'll be good to go.
Do jot down your current settings in case they don't translate properly.
IMAGINATOR is a stand-alone, in-game, image modification tool.
It allows you to separately control visual elements like Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Sky Brightness, Sunlight Output, Bloom and Tint all from within an easy-to-navigate MCM. Never before have you had such power! Seriously.
In the below videos, you will see the now defunct HELPER being used. In the latest version, these options are available via the MCM.

You have 4 TOOLS in the IMAGINATOR MENU:
CONTRASTOR : Provided within are incremental adjustments to BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST and SATURATION. Consider this the 'fine-tuning' station where you can adjust our presets - or ANY weather mod - to suit your taste.
TINTOR : Adds a schmorgasboard of color options by allowing you complete control over the addition of RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, MAGENTA and CYAN!
CINEMAGIC: Play 'god' with complete control over the brightness of the SKY, the power of SUNLIGHT (and Moonlight) and the overall image BLOOM!
PRESET COLOR SCHEMES : 9 preset complex color palettes to enhance the mood (more to come!). The PRESETS are stackable and combinable for infinite combinations. We've provided a nice range of presets for you to choose from. Use them 'as is' or enhance and adjust them using CONTRASTOR, TINTOR and/or CINEMAGIC!
All options are STACKABLE. Click once for a minor adjustment, click again for more, and
IMAGINATOR is a standalone in-game image modification tool for Skyrim, letting you adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, sky brightness, sunlight output, bloom, and tint through an easy-to-navigate interface. With over 30,000 endorsements and 670,000 downloads, it's a proven visual tweaking utility for players wanting real-time control without external programs.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 30,260 endorsements and 670k downloads
- Gives you granular control over individual visual elements like sky brightness and sunlight output
- Works standalone, so no need for ENB or other heavy graphics overhauls
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- No detailed documentation provided, so you'll have to experiment to get the look you want
- Only adjusts image settings, not a full ENB replacement—don't expect dramatic shader effects
For Skyrim players who want to fine-tune the game's visuals in real-time without installing a full ENB. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just want to tweak brightness and saturation on the fly, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for advanced shaders or post-processing effects.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone tool, just drop the files into your Data folder and activate the plugin in your mod manager.
- Use the in-game menu to adjust settings live—no need to restart the game to see changes.
- If you're using other visual mods, test IMAGINATOR's settings after they're loaded to avoid conflicts.
