Questions on making separate mod "build" after following STEP guide? (Not sure if Dyn, ENB, or LOD are working)

[larisagnia]

Painting the picture:

Followed STEP guide, have a clean build I want to keep. I want to copy this build, and experiment with it without ruining the original build. So far I have created a separate instance by copying the original instances folders and placing them in the new instances folders.

Issue:

Compare images from screen. It seems every time I start a new game, there is still a different hue for the new instance vs the original instance.

Question:

Do I have to rerun all the tools when I make a new instance? Are there other things to look out for when copying an instance into another instance?

 

Edit: Clarify, I have reran multiple new games in both instances and they each produce the same color difference.

My guess is that each time you start a new game the weather is randomly selected, and different weather (and time of day) gives different color effects.

Have a look at some interiors (at same time of the day) - are they different too?
