Fixing Your Vanilla Settings
This section of the guide will make sure that you've got the optimal settings in your vanilla game to run an ENB. Some of these settings are actually required by ENB to function properly.1. Make sure that all of the required mods for your ENB are installed. 2. In your video driver's settings for TESV.exe, turn Antialiasing, Anisotropic Filtering, FXAA, and SSAO off or defaulted to Skyrim's settings. Turn on VSync. Mine is set to "Adaptive." 3. Go to Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim/enbseries and look for enbhelper.dll. If there isn't one, download ENB Helper from the downloads section, extract it, and add it. This provides ENB with more info from the Skyrim engine to base its rendering off of. This is required for ENBSeries 0. 250+. 4. MO users go to Mod Organizer/profiles//. 4. Everyone else go to Documents/My Games/Skyrim/. 5. Edit these lines in your SkyrimPrefs.ini file. THESE CANNOT BE COPY AND PASTED. ONLY LINES THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED ARE INCLUDED. 6. Download and install the Update.ini file from the downloads section of this guide. 7. Download and install Optimized Vanilla Textures. 8. Download and install High Quality LODs. 9. Download and install Particle Patch All-in-One and Subsurface Scattering Patch in the downloads section of this guide.

Download LOOT, TES5Edit, Wrye Bash, and Savegame script scalpel. If you use MO, you have to run these within MO. To do this, click on the gears icon in the toolbar.
