📋 About This Mod
Real Lighting ReShade ENB
UPDATE ENBSeries v0. 310 is here. I recommend upgrading your d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files from the wrapper version as load times are dramatically improved.
INSTALLATION 1. Download ReShade 3 from here 2. Run the ReShade_Setup_3. 0. 3.exe to install into your Skyrim.exe directory 3. Click yes to download effect when prompted 4. Download ENBSeries v0. 310 5. From the WrapperVersion of the ENB folder, copy and paste the d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files into your Skyrim SE directory 6. Download my preset and paste all the contents into your Skyrim directory and overwrite 7. Start the game, in the main menu screen, press SHIFT+F2 and select Real Lighting v3.ini from the dropdown 8. ReShade may tell you that an error occured while loading, this is ok and everything should still work as intended

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 835 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Tailored for Vivid Weathers, so it integrates seamlessly if you already use that weather mod.
- Gives you that realistic lighting look without having to tweak everything yourself.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or newer ENB versions.
- Requires Vivid Weathers SE to work as intended—if you don't use that mod, this preset won't shine.
- ENB presets can be performance-heavy, so expect a hit to your FPS depending on your rig.
