Welcome to the Ultimate Lighting Overhaul Plus (ULO+)!
I first released ULO almost a month ago at the behest of my wife. Since then (much to my surprise and despite its awful name) ULO
has become a run away success and people everywhere have been able to experience a richer, more beautiful Skyrim without the
severe drop in framerate associated with many ENB profiles.
Although the respon
Ultimate Lighting Overhaul Plus is an ENB preset for Skyrim that combines the low-impact tricks of ULO with enhanced lighting and shadows. It boasts a significant performance advantage over other ENB profiles, with only a 15% FPS loss compared to vanilla. Despite its age, it remains a popular choice with 685 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Performance-friendly ENB preset—only 15% FPS loss over vanilla is a big deal for ENB users.
- Community-trusted with 685 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Blends ULO's optimization with ENB's visual punch for a balanced look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it's likely outdated for current Skyrim versions and may conflict with newer mods.
- As an ENB preset, it may require tweaking to work with other lighting mods or weather overhauls.
- Compatibility risk with popular mods that alter lighting or weather, given its age.
For Skyrim players who want ENB-quality lighting and shadows without tanking their framerate. If you're on a mid-range rig and want a visual upgrade without heavy performance cost, this is worth a look. Skip if you're using modern lighting mods or want the latest ENB features.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ENB Series installed and configured for your Skyrim version before adding this preset.
- Use a mod manager to install and easily switch between ENB presets.
- Check your Skyrim version—this preset is from 2013, so it may need adjustments for Special Edition or newer patches.
