VERSION 5. 0 IS UP & AVAILABLE NOW

Snapdragon Prime is (hopefully) the last big update this ENB setup will get.

The main goal hasn't changed: This is primarily meant to be used for (character) screenshots,

therefore the hardware requirements are quite high by default. Newer versions are more tweaked for performance as before, but still a bit demanding. I also included an alternative (less distracting) DoF that will boost your fps by a good amount, in case you want to use this for regular gameplay.

This is for convenience, however the settings can of course be tweaked to get even more fps - if you have some basic ENB knowledge.

This ENB also features a unique set of profiles (26+3) you can swap on-the-fly.

Check the provided help folder on how to change them ingame!

If you're looking for the most realistic ENB, this is probably not the right thing for you.

The purpose of these picture profiles is to create a unique, cinematic look.

That often means blown out highlights, pitchblack darkness, and of course... a prominent Depth of Field effect.

If that's what you're looking for, have fun with this setup. But please, read the instructions and help below before asking questions.

As with every ENB setup - enblocal.ini settings are something that must be adjusted to your own system!

Once you set it up right, you can keep it & use it with any ENB setup out there.

Use guides like this to get your settings right.

UPDATE 5. 0:

- Added/Integrated all new ENB features into the Snapdragon ENB ecosystem; this includes improved detailed shadows as well as particle lights

- Readjusted shader values to counterbalance certain effects

- Added several new LUTs to try out; removed some unpopular ones

- Changed DOF to Marty McFlys shader

- Added Default LUT setting "Tetro's Choice" - the setting I personally use a lot

- tweaked sharpness

You can still get the previous (classic)

All-Is-Vain & Snapdragon standalone versions in the download section.

These older versions are a bit more specialized in what they do.

Some people created some amazing shots with these setups,

that's why I left them available.

Both also require NLA 2. 0 (just check the readme).

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your GPU can handle it—check your VRAM and consider lowering resolution if you get stutters.
  • Since it's an ENB, you'll need to install the ENBSeries binary separately and follow the standard ENB setup for Skyrim.
  • If you're using a mod manager, manually place the preset files in your Skyrim directory to avoid conflicts.
