WHAT IS ENHANCED SHADERS NLA?

Enhanced Shaders NLA is a custom adaptation of Confidence Man's landmark Skyrim ENB preset "Natural Lighting and Atmospherics": http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50065/?

This adaptation is configured by tapioks (me), the author of the Skyrim Enhanced Shaders mod; the very first ENB configuration to be released on Skyrim Nexus back in November 2011: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/822/?

In my opinion, Natural Lighting and Atmostpherics (NLA) is by far the most realistic lighting / weather mod available for Skyrim, rendering the most natural (and least video-game feeling) image possible. Confidence Man's employment of ENB’s effects and his sense of accurate color representation is unsurpassed.

Confidence Man has not updated NLA since March 2014, and after playing the game extensively with the latest release, I have identified a few aspects of the configuration that I feel bear some fine tuning. I have discussed my intentions with Confidence Man and he has approved the publication of this mod.

Rest assured, Confidence Man deserves 98% of the credit for the image quality of this mod, as this is simply a variation of his masterpiece.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS MOD

- Provide a set of adjustments for Natural Lighting and Atmospherics to help improve the image quality and playability of the mod

- Provide a set of quality presets so that users with a variety of hardware configurations will be able to enjoy some version of the mod

- To provide clear installation instructions, including any supporting files and recommended mods to achieve optimal image quality, performance and stability.

- To muster up more well-deserved recognition for the original Natural Lighting and Atmospherics mod by Confidence Man ... go endorse it now!
