📋 About This Mod
This is the new version of Serenity ENB called "ExtendedFX". All shaders have been rewritten and it should be (at least a bit) more performance friendly but it remains a heavy load on the system. Bloom is now properly working. Sharpening, SSAO have been adjusted and many new features added (and some removed as well).
This is not the same version as I have released on flickr!
Enjoy.

FEATURES • New enbeffect.fx, effect.txt and enbbloom.fx • Highly optimized high quality enbbloom.fx to come at almost zero FPS loss • Advanced tonemapping / Adaptation (Filmic) • Adaptive lighting / coloring • Recoded the way Skyrim applies colors & contrasts via ENB • Fully functional game effects • Full control of color and contrasts from within GUI • For ENB Binary 254+ (not below) • Supersampling SSAO/SSIL with optimized settings • ENB Weather system enabled for Skyrim, Dawnguard and Dragonborn • Custom SweetFX. Not compatible with other SFX profiles.
INSTALLATION Like any other ENB. Visit HERE and get the latest Binary. Copy d3d9.dll from the Wrapper folder into your Skyrim folder. After that copy my files over it. REQUIRED MODS • Revamped Exterior Fog by Greg Manthey - gargorias (please download) • Dark Dungeons for ENB by mindflux (included) INCOMPATIBLE MODS • Any interior or exterior lighting/weather mod (yes all of them, even Relighting Skyrim) (!!!!!!!) The reason is that I hook the ENB into Skyrim's own values in ways no other ENB does. I tried with other lighting mods but it just will not work/look good. Like I said, this ENB is very specific in what it will allow.

USE PRINTSCREEN FOR SCREENSHOTS (I see a lot of people using insert for screenshots, which results in poor quality)

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to disable the game's built-in anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering to avoid conflicts with ENB.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep your ENB files separate from your game folder for easy removal.
- Check the ENB series version required for this preset—older presets often need an older ENB binary.
