INSTALLATION
– ENB Series v0.262, please download the binary files at http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0262.htm and extract d3d9.dll to your Skyrim folder (where TESV.exe is located). Overwrite if asked.
– Download my mod and extract the contents from the “main files” folder to your Skyrim folder (where TESV.exe is located). Overwrite if asked. The contents of the “Data” folder is required as well.
NOTE: Please use the files from the “performance options” folders instead of choosing to enable/disable a feature manually. Each one has been specially tweaked to give the best result. Copy the file of your choice to your Skyrim folder (where TESV.exe is located). Overwrite if asked.
– Open your SkyrimPrefs.ini file located in your “My Documents” folder and make sure these lines are set
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=5 (use this setting if you have your shadows set to “Ultra” in the SkyrimLauncher)
– Open enblocal.ini and set the VideoMemorySizeMb parameter (e.g. VRAM + RAM – 2048)
– Disable AA/AF in the SkyrimLauncher options
– (Optional) The “optional effects” folder contains additional effects that provide more customization. Copy the contents of the option folder of your choice to your Skyrim folder (where TESV.exe is located). Overwrite if asked.
– (Optional) Download and install the mods listed in the “Recommended Mods” section.
– Load your game and turn the in-game Brightness all the way down
– Your game should now look like my screenshots, Enjoy! 🙂
COMPATIBILITY
– Seasons of Skyrim ENB is compatible with practically all of Skyrim’s mods that do not interfere with the ENB Series binary files.
– Works with Realistic Lighting with Customization, Dynavision, Imaginator, etc. However, keep in mind that these types of mods may override some of the ENB values in my configuration and produce unpredictable results. Additional fine tuning may be required if using my configuration with these types of mods.
TROUBLESHOOTING (see also Known Issues/Bugs section below)
Follow these steps if you experience any performance issues or graphical oddities while using this ENB profile, but please double check that you have properly installed my files. (see installation section if necessary)
Note: I offer these guidelines under the assumption that your Operating System and hardware are both in a healthy state, and that you’re using the most current drivers and patches for the game.
Performance Issues: (Here is a guide to help – Skyrim Tweak Guide)
– Option 1. Disable or close any unecessary programs (including Windows Aero) before launching the game. If you’re low on physical RAM, then try setting your Virtual memory to 2.5 times the amount of RAM installed in your system.
– Option 2. Use the preset folders B-D and/or try the SSAO settings found in the “Tips” sections above. If that’s still not enough, then use the “extreme performance” preset as it has the most GPU intensive features disabled. (It still looks nice though)
– Option 3. If you’re using HD texture packs, then try this mod – Optimizer Textures. It will compress the textures in order free up some memory on your video card. (running out of memory will cripple performance)
– Option 4. Disable Anisotropic Filtering in the SkyrimLauncher options. (ENB handles this better)
– Option 5. Don’t overclock your hardware too high. This game is very CPU/RAM intensive and ENB is even more GPU intensive than the unmodded game. (system RAM will most likely fail before anything else if clocked too high)
– Option 6. Reduce the graphics settings in SkyrimLauncher options and in your video driver software if you need to. (this would be a last resort before buying new hardware)
Non-Performance Issues: (Here is a guide to help – Skyrim Tweak Guide)
– Option 1. Try the Injector Version of ENB Series. (it may be required if using SKSE)
– Option 2. Make a backup of your Saves folder, RenderInfo.txt, Skyrim.ini, and SkyrimPrefs.ini. (located in MyDocuments….Skyrim). Delete the 3 files and launch the game (they will be regenerated automagically).
– Option 3. Disable any 3rd party video driver software and start uninstalling Skyrim mods one by one until the problem no longer exists.
– Option 4. Start a new game (for testing purposes).
– Option 5. Post the problem (screenshots included) on the ENBdev.com forum. You might get a reply from Boris V. himself.
– Option 6. Make a backup of your Saves folder and mods you were using and Re-install Skyrim. Delete the main Skyrim folder and the Skyrim folder in “MyDocuments” after you uninstall it just to make sure. (this would be a last resort if all other options have failed, please accept my apologies)
UNINSTALLATION
Remove the files that were included with this mod from your Skyrim folder.
