📋 About This Mod

Retired dll\'s can be found at Beautiful Skyrim
If you like my work, my newest ENB can be found here: z ENB (It also has a High Performance Preset) ;)
Whats new in 2. 0?
  • []Performance Options: While ZHPenb v1. 0-v1. 5 were purely no frills high performance ENBs; v2. 0 includes plenty of performance options. []Still High-Performance: I tested the high-performance versions of this ENB on my laptop, I assure you, if a GT420M can run it, you can. []SweetFX Injector: ZHPenb v2. 0 uses SweetFX as a proxy DLL, which basically means FXAA + SMAA & more all in one; if you use 4x AA or lower, you can switch it off and use one of the SweetFX presets in the \"Options\" folder for a performance boost! []Skyrim is Skyrim: I believe that the Weather and Lighting of Vanilla Skyrim is great, I have tried to keep most of that character intact.

rJbtB6A3sdo8pnyLRVE3_0 Installation:
  • []If this is the first time you are installing an ENB; please watch the video above. []If you hate watching videos, hate youtube, hate Hodilton, have a bandwidth limit, or are super-intelligent and realized this enb has more specific instructions; read below. []First Download, extract and copy the ENB 0. 126 files to your Skyrim folder. (If you are confused about Injector/Wrapper, read the next section) []Download and extract this ENBs files anywhere. (Just NOT Skyrims\' folder) []First Copy the \'Core Files\' folder files to Skyrim\'s folder. (Overwrite) []Then choose a pefrormance preset from the folder called \"Select your Pefrormance\"; and copy it to Skyrim\'s folder (Overwrite) []There are a lot of optional files inside the \"Options\" folders that are optional.. really. Just copy what you need to Skyrim\'s folder (Overwrite)
Injector/Wrapper, which one to use? You always use the wrapper version of ENB unless you have one of the problems below with it. []Huge frame-rate drop, probably means you have a multi-GPU setup and Skyrim is using the wrong GPU (Optimus laptops/ATI equivalent, dunno what its called) []Black clouds (Not at night), blue grass, backwards flying dragons (Oh wait, thats normal in Skyrim); basically if something seems wrong to you, you can check if using the injector fixes it. []ENB not working at all. (No text in the top-left corner when Skyrim starts) [*]Finally if you have decided to use the injector version, make sure you delete d3d9.dll from Skyrim\'s folder; and yes it has to be running for ENB to detect the game when Skyrim starts. (Also anti-viruses may interfere with the injector, wat

💡 Beginner Tips
