1. Download ReShade from here. 2. Run the EXE-File and select your SkyrimSE.exe from your Skyrim Special Edition game folder (".../steamapps/common/skyrim special edition"). Select DirectX10+, click 'Yes', click 'Ok', wait for the download. When it says 'Done' you can close the window. 3. Download the ENB binaries v0. 310 from here. 4. Extract the d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll within the 'Wrapper' folder to your Skyrim Special Edition game folder (".../steamapps/common/skyrim special edition"). 5. Download my ENB preset and extract all files contained in the appropriate folder of the archive into your Skyrim Special Edition game folder (".../steamapps/common/skyrim special edition"). Important: you have to navigate to the folder in the archive, which corresponds to your weather mod (Dolomite Weathers or Vivid Weathers) and to your preferred depth of field (Default DoF or Marty McFly DoF - I recommend Marty McFly DoF) and only copy the enbseries folder, the enbseries.ini, enblocal.ini and Catharsis.ini out of this particular folder of the archive. Overwrite all files if asked!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONAL - IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE INSTALLED
- Download and install Vivid Weathers.
- I didn't use the Vivid Weathers book, so all my Vivid Weathers settings are default. But you are free to try out the settings.
- Download and install Dolomite Weathers.
- Download and install Enhanced Lights and FX.
- Please only use the main files and ELFX Enhancer. I don't give any support for users trying out ELFX Exterior and so on, because I didn't cover that in my tests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Go ingame and open the ReShade menu with Shift+F2. Click 'Continue', select the '+' and type in 'Catharsis.ini' and confirm with Enter. Click on 'Continue' and on 'Finish'. 7. You are done, enjoy!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 321 endorsements and 8,390 downloads
- Offers a choice between two DoF styles, letting you pick your preferred look
- Built specifically for popular weather mods, so it integrates well with Vivid or Dolomite setups
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or ENB versions
- Manual installation requires multiple steps and precise file placement, which can be error-prone
- Compatibility risk with other ENB presets or mods that alter lighting, since it's tuned for specific weather mods
For Skyrim SE players who want a calm, polished visual overhaul without aggressive effects, especially if you already use Vivid Weathers or Dolomite Weathers. If you prefer a more dramatic or fantasy-style ENB, this might be too subtle. Skip if you're not comfortable with manual file installation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When installing, make sure to select the correct folder in the archive for your weather mod (Vivid or Dolomite) and DoF preference, then copy only the enbseries folder, enbseries.ini, enblocal.ini, and Catharsis.ini into your Skyrim SE root folder.
- If you're using Vivid Weathers, leave its in-game settings at default since the preset was made with defaults in mind.
- After installing, test in an outdoor area during different times of day to ensure the lighting looks right, and adjust enblocal.ini if you experience performance issues.
