Somber Phantasy is an ENB Preset for Skyrim Special Edition made for those who like a harsh and dramatic visual with dark and, sometimes, foggy atmosphere, without expressive saturation. It was inspired by Jyggalag version of the amazing The Grim and Somber ENB for the old Skyrim version. So If you liked that preset in the old game, probably you'll like this one for SE.  Everything carefully tweaked and tested for a great graphics experience with not too much impact on performance. If you prefer vivid colors, crisp and clear graphics, then this mod is not for you, so give a try to my Imaginarium ENB instead.

- REQUIREMENTS

Weather Mods: This ENB was tuned specifically for the mods Skyrim Legendary Weathers and Mythical Ages - Weathers and Lighting Overhaul by Arindel (omega2008). I got better results using these two mods for this type of look. Feel free to test with other mods (maybe some saturation adjustments will be necessary).  I can't promisse that I'll make specific versions for  X, Y, Z weather mod in the future.

Lighting Mods: The interiors settings are based on Enhanced Lights and FX mod, but MAYBE the look will be fine with others, feel free to try. For Enhanced Lights and FX DO NOT INSTALL the Weathers option and if you don't like darker interiors I suggest to not install the Enhancer option too. The Exteriors plugin is not recommended to be used with this preset. IMPORTANT: Enhanced Lights and FX esp pl

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 426 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads
  • Delivers a unique harsh and dramatic look that stands out from vivid presets
  • Performance-conscious design, so you won't tank your FPS for the moody vibe

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires specific weather mods (Skyrim Legendary Weathers and Mythical Ages) for best results, so you'll need to adjust if you use others
  • Not for fans of vibrant colors or crisp visuals—this is all about grim atmosphere
  • Last updated in 2020, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or ENB versions
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who want a dark, gritty, and atmospheric look without sacrificing performance. If you loved The Grim and Somber ENB on Oldrim, this is your SE equivalent. Skip if you prefer colorful, high-saturation visuals or use a different weather overhaul.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to install the required weather mods first, then load this ENB preset on top for the intended look.
  • If you use a different weather mod, be prepared to tweak saturation and fog settings in the ENB menu to match the preset's vision.
  • Check your ENB version compatibility—since the mod is from 2020, you may need to update your ENB binaries to work with the latest Skyrim SE patch.
