Kast ENB - Colorful ENB preset for Skyrim
Hi everyone. Here is my first ENB preset. This mod was designed for Climates of Tamriel, Realistic Lighting Overhaul, and Flora Overhaul. I did NOT test this for any other mod of these kind, so I don't know how it looks like without these.
V0. 264-4 IS OUT :
Reduced overall bloom Adjusted lighting values for a more natural look
I will not update the ELFX file, since I do not use this lighting mod. Feel free to tweak it yourself if you want.
I uploaded a "lite" version of this preset. It reduces performance cost so if you have framerate issues with the original version, you'd better use this one. I still call it a beta because I think there is more to be done, but don't worry it is fully functionnal already.
FEATURES
Colorful landscapes Bright days and dark nights Warmer and brighter fire Enhanced Sunlight and rays Enhanced shadows with SSAO Very smooth DoF, so it doesn't hurt your eyes :) Improved interior lightning for day and night Enhanced Water Slightly improved rain More mist for a genuine nordic mood
Of course, many of these are a matter of tastes and opinion.
INSTALLATION
1) Turn off Anti-aliasing and FXAA in the game AND in your GPU settings, and make sure bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 is written like this in your SkyrimPrefs.ini
2) Download latest version of ENBseries for Skyrim
3) Extract the content of the Wrapper folder in your Skyrim directory
4) Install ENBoost to prevent some issues (chose the files according to your GPU specs)
5) Change these lines in ENBlocal.ini (if you don't, some effects may not work) : UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false UseDefferedRendering=true
6) Extract my files in your Skyrim directory. Overwrite when asked.
7) Enjoy ! You can turn on/off the ENB with shift+f12 if you want to compare :)
If you followed every step and still have CTD or other issues, please report them. (and google them too, this may save some time !)
EFFECTS
Here are the lines in ENBseries.ini that enable/disable effects :
UseOriginalPostProcessing=false EnableAdaptation=true EnableBloom=true EnableAmbientOcclusion=true EnableDepthOfField=true EnableDetailedShadow=true UseOriginalObjectsProcessing=false EnableSunRays
