I tried every combination of disabling lighting mods and I have something called Vividians - Extended Weathers... is that what you mean? My Monitor is perfect in every way I can see otherwise and one of the biggest problems I was having was Gamma. I did everything I could to lower it below 1, but the ENB wouldn't let me. That said, yes, I'm CERTAIN it's at 1 :) It was way darker than that. Right now after the fix, I need light in caves for darker places, but at least I don't need multiple additional lights in a room with multiple light sources already. It was like light was heavy and couldn't travel more than 10 feet or so.

Just for completeness, I used ENBmanager to "activate" vividian's but did NOT activate any of the ESPs or mods themselves in Mod Organizer and it's looking pretty good right now (plus I can actually see). I'll keep playing with it, but if the conversation is about potential changes to the preset, the darkness would be the first thing to go in my opinion.

I installed Vividian as recommended by the Legendary skyrim revisited guide, but everything is WAY TOO DARK. I can't see anything except in full daylight. I tried really hard to adjust gamma settings or anything else, but none of it worked. As far as I can tell, the only ingame ENB setting I can change is "brightness" under color correction. Everything else didn't work at all and the gamma is locked at 1 (can't go below). I had to use a different ENB, but it's not as nice (other than I can see). I thought I saw some advice on how to fix that, but I can't find it now. Any ideas?

Fast response, working answer, and great resource to look at to boot! Thanks so much! I'll check that page to see if I missed anything else.

I've seen some of the other posts about this, but they're either not answered or people solved it with changing folder permissions or something that I've already tried. Long story short, I followed the "Skyrim revisited" guide and have everything set up in MO. It works great other than I can't seem to make my characters look as good as the photos I see online (different issue I suppose), but I'm trying to copy the look of a custom follower (who comes with her own meshes and textures). Someone said to use the creation kit, but when I load it through MO, it only shows the main Skyrim ESMs (and the DLC) and a Bashed Patch esp. Nothing else. What am I doing wrong?
