📋 About This Mod
Installation
0. Remove all previous ENB, SweetFX, ReShade files etc.
You can use the ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager & Remover Mod.
Uninstall any major weather & lighting mods such as CoT, RLO, ELFX, NLA, etc.
1. Download the most recent ENB binary from enbdev.com
On the binary page, the download button is at the bottom left corner with a black arrow.
2. Open the "Wrapper" folder included. Copy & Paste only the d3d9.dll and enbhost into your Skyrim game folder.
3. Download Tetrachromatic ENB from the files section of the mod page.
There are technically three versions of this preset, the main file and two optional versions.
The main file is the original and recommended while the optional files are for Vivid Weathers/NLVA users only.
4. Copy & paste the enbseries folder, enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini into your Skyrim game folder.
You should now have all 5 files necessary including the d3d9.dll & enbhost.exe
5. Make the following adjustments in your Skyrim pref inis:
-- I have recently included an ENB set-up tool made by the creator of ENB, Boris Vorontsov, that may do these ini changes for you.
------------------------------------
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bShadowsOnGrass=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bDrawShadows=1
fGamma=1. 0000
If these values are not there, you can write them in yourself as long as they are under the section.
6. Turn off hardware anti-aliasing & anisotropic filtering.
You can do this in the Skyrim Launcher or the Skyrim Pref inis as well (as shown below).
------------------------------------
iMultisample=0
iMaxAnisotropy=1
7. Enjoy the preset, I'd love to see your screenshots in the gallery sometime. Bring up the ENB menu with Shift + Z if you need to.
Uninstallation
Remove the following from your main Skyrim folder or use that ENB Manager Mod I linked in step 0.
enbseries folder
enbhost.exe
enblocal.ini
enbseries.ini
