Performance Friendly Preset
with Snow Cover, Vanilla effect and ENB Light support

[]Nordic: Main Ljóss preset, Natural color with a nice fantasy touch. Nice and fresh!
[
]Vivid: Vivid color and higher contrast. Ljóss with a stronger fantasy taste.[]Stylistic: Desaturated version of the original Ljóss preset with a brownish touch. Warm and very stylish!
[]Gothic: High desaturated version with a dark & gloomy feeling.
Introduction:
Skyrim is a beautiful place, even more when you follow the amazing Lexy's Legacy of the Dragonborn: Special Edition installation guide. But, after I finished configuring my mod list, I had to accept that it's not possible to use the great presets available here and run so many mods on my 1440p screen without facing unpleasant slowdowns. Moreover, I wanted to build a preset exactly the way I wanted because there's always something that didn't suit me ;)
That's how my Ljóss preset was born.
My goals was :
-
[]Get the best compromise between performance & quality
[
]Support vanilla screen effects like Night Eye, Berserker Rage, fade-to-blacks, etc... and those added by mods (toxicity, imaginator...).[]Keep it easily configurable (check installation instruction below)
Note about performance:
Using a ENB preset always has an impact, including this one. The impact on performance increases exponentially with the resolution you use. The ideal framerate for Skyrim is 60 fps if you don't want game's physics going crazy. This means that on my setup with a framerate locked at 60, I get 53 fps at worst on a 1440p screen (only big cities with full JK Skyrim + Dawn of skyrim Director's cut goes below). This result is very hardware dependent, so it can vary a lot from one system to another.
