Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB (when to use?)

[JareX]

Hey, I was trying some custom  mods, being one of them Realistic Nights :https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49472/?

The only problem is that with that mod the water looks shiny white during nights, I made some research and found the "Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB" : https://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1499

 

The bad thing is that the patch didn't fix the white water at night, also I saw that the particle patch conflicted with a lot of the STEP mods. So I ended up removing realistic nights.

 

But I was reading about the particle patch and it seems to do some very nice stuff, so I decided to put it on the very top of my load order to avoid conflict with other mods.

 

So here is my question:

 

Is it safe to use this particle patch? if thats so, where on my load order should I put it?

should it be considered for future STEP - ENB users?

Before SMIM. Brumbek took the particle patch stuff and made some improvements to a couple thing so make sure SMIM overwrites.

I'd recommand following Neovalan's lead as the mod placement which can be found here.

umm just because it looks useful and smooth and all that... is it possible and practical to use it with just ENBoost, and not a full enb active?

Sure, it will not hurt anything.
