About this mod

Performance Friendly: Looks good even without the DoF and AO.
This preset is meant to be decidedly unrealistic without sacrificing immersion and without being so far from reality that the game is no longer believable. I started working on this once I got tired of the typical ultra-realistic look for Skyrim that I wanted prior to now. Crysis 3

This preset is meant to be decidedly unrealistic without sacrificing immersion and without being so far from reality that the game is no longer believable. I started working on this once I got tired of the typical ultra-realistic look for Skyrim that I wanted prior to now.
Crysis 3 to Bioshock Infinite if you will.


Keep in mind that the Enbseries mod does not support any programs that may alter DirectX. This includes, but is not limited to programs like Direct3dOverrider. If your game CTD's (Crash To Desktop) then be sure to turn off any programs that may be altering DirectX. If it still occurs, then its most likely a load order problem.


Recommended Specs: (for high settings preset)
-Quad-Core CPU @ 2GHZ
-GTX 560
-4 gigs RAM8-12 for a heavily modded game


Alternate Versions:
-Standard (Default): Uses Bloom, Sunglare, and Sunrays (also uses shadows fix). Relatively low performance hit. (no fxaa or lumasharpen)

-Sharper SweetFX preset: Utilizes Lumasharpen and does not use FXAA.

-Softer SweetFX preset: Utilizes FXAA and does not use Lumasharpen.
-Note that the softer and sharper presets cannot be overlapped, it would just overwrite the old one.

-Higher Settings: Also uses Bokeh DoF and Ambient Occlusion.

Recommended Mods:

-4k Parallax Retextures by Pfuscher aka Zerwas1 - Whitrun street texture can be used to replace the TR red street texture if you don't like it.

-Ultra-Realistic World Lighting by MGE - Replacer for ELFX exteriors, or can be layered on top of ELFX to very nice looking effect and no performance hit.

Installation:
-Download the Main Files and your choice of optionals.

-Download v0.136 Enbseries here: http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0132.htm

-Copy the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe files and Nothing Else into the skyrim game folder. this is the folder with skyrimlauncher.exe and tesv.exe.

-Copy the main files into the game folder, and overwrite the main files with an optional if you like.

-Find your skyrimprefs.ini (usually in mydocuments/mygames/skyrim) and edit this line:
bFloatPointRenderTarget=0 to bFloatPointRenderTarget=1

-Note that this is an old enough version of the Enb mod, that hardware anti-aliasing is supported.

-Done.
