Install order and ENB's

I did not find anything relating to these two thoughts in the wiki.

 

Is install order still important for MO, or do I not need to worry about the

order I install mods, I still feel textures need to be loaded last is seen style

 

Do ENB's load correctly or do I need make a package with the file structure inside?

 

I'm picking copying them into the game folder will not work now

You can't install ENBs with any mod manager. Mod managers install directly to the DATA folder and ENB must be installed in the Skyrim root folder. It is best to learn manually how to install an ENB. Use the guide on our wiki and ask more questions if you still have issues.

 

Basics: download the latest ENB binary, extract the d3d9.dll to skyrim folder.

download you favorite preset and extract it to your skyrim folder.

make the INI changes for ENBs in skyrimprefs.ini with MO

 

EDIT: install order is not important with MO, use the priority tab to list mods by their order and place the mods in the correct order from top down.

Thank you, I just was not sure how copying into the Skyrim folder worked with a MO install as its a virtual folder,

so I'm thinking the ENB would be missed

ENB works by using a hook to the Skyrim engine instead of it being a regular Skyrim mod. It basically works by doing post process stuff by adding new graphics. Can't do that with regular mods, just textures, meshes, scripts.... nothing that affects the engine directly.

 

Remember to use our ENB guide on the wiki for the ENB install because the enblocal.ini has a section that is determined by your system specs.

I have added in the FAQ tab of the S.T.E.P. MO wiki information about installing ENB mods.

I have updated it also for SweetFx and FXAA injectors.
