A semi-realistic ENB that brings naturalistic visuals blended with beautifully colored scenes
(Used with Cathedral Weathers Mod)
Just note: I have adjusted sky gradients in this ENB against Cathedral Weathers author's recommendation so the horizon line may appear at times. Edge of the world line has always been there with all other weather mods and ENBs until Cathedral weathers. But, there was a look I was wanting for the sky and decided to sacrifice it. If you like all my other ENBs then, I don't think you will have a problem with this.
Now with ENB Weather Support. Will need SKSE and ENB Helper if you want to use the new function.
Wow, this has already hit the HOT MODS list!! I am humbled. Thank you everyone for the outstanding support!
Welcome to my newest ENB for Skyrim Special Edition. I know I have already bitten off more than I can chew with my other 3 ENBs but, I wanted to release a ENB with a preset for Cathedral Weathers especially, after trying out the new amazing weather mod. I still prefer an ENB that brings a natural look but, moments of beautiful colors. Hence why I went with a semi-realistic approach with this ENB. So, here it is.
I truly hope that you will enjoy this new ENB preset!! Let me know what you think.

Night Eye Fix Adjustment
The Nighteye Fix is designed and tuned for Vanilla Nighteye. However, depending on your mods you are using such as predator vision or better vampires the nighteye/vampire vision might not full trigger with ENB with the current default settings. You will have to enable and tune this in yourself. See the screenshot or video I have posted below to see how to do it. (Link for Full Size Photo: NightEye Adjusting )
Spoiler:
Show
This should set the new trigger point for your nighteye/predator/vampire vision.
Brightness- I recommend leaving at the default location a.k.a 1.0 in your skyrimprefs.ini. Easiest way to adjust brightness when use ENB is through the ENB menu in game (Shift+Enter) and then under colorcorrection adjust brightness. However, the best way is explained in my "How to Tweak" video below.
SSAO-SSIL- If you are using my Full Quality/Quality presets I recommend disabling the vanilla SSAO via the graphics options if you are trying to save FPS.
DOF- If you are using my Full Quality preset I recommend disabling vanilla DOF via the graphics options. This will disable the blur underwater though.
AA- I have added in SMAA. It is on by default. It is up to you if you want to use just SMAA or use SMAA with TAA or FXAA. You can disable SMAA as well by change the option at the top of the enbeffectpostpass shader in the enb menu.
I do recommend a mod call bethini which is a good tool to easily adjust graphics settings beyond the vanilla graphics menu and without having to go into the ini files. Check it out here: BethINI

Pre Step- Make sure you have the correct weather mod for the preset you are using.

1. I am getting frame rate drops and/or stutters.
ENB for SE is not equal when compared to Oldrim ENBs. So, somes performance may vary. You can try switching from windowed to borderless or vice versa. Additionally, you could disable in-game vsync and use driver to force vsync
2. Night Eye or Predator Vision does not work.
There is a nighteye fix in the enbeffect shader which was set for vanilla nighteye. If you are using a modded nighteye effect you will need to enable and adjust the settings yourself for you mod.
3. Nights are too dark or not dark enough.
Unfortunitely I am very limited with SE ENB binaries. However, you can adjust night by a quick click of a button. See folder 3 in the download file to see how to quickly adjust nights and even interiors. Also you can adjust night and/or interiors via the in-game ENB menu then expand enbeffect and scroll down to nights or interiors and adjust settings there.
4. Overall image is too dark or bright
Make sure to calibrate your monitor. Unfortunitely, when I create an ENB I can't take into account all the different monitors. For example those with IPS monitors will find colors darker and richer vs what I see on my TN panel monitor.
5. How do I disable Bloom or DOF
Open the in-game ENB menu by hitting shift+enter and uncheck the lines bloom and Depth of Field and hit save towards the top of the menu.
6. Was is your ENB such a big FPS compared to other ENBs
I think this is subjective but, if that is the case it would be more if you are using my Full Quality preset which has a most ENB effects enabled to achieve the best image quality. I guess it pays to play. And in this case, the cost is FPS.
7. Will you be making a realistic preset for other weather mods
Not sure yet.
For most Bethesda for the great game.
