ENBoost directory?

[TheGamingGeneral]

In the S.T.E.P guide is says "then extract only d3d9.dll, enbhost.exe, and enblocal.ini into the base Skyrim directory" is it not the point of MO to keep the base Skyrim directory clean? https://wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost#Recommendations

It is, but MO cannot handle .exe files, and I can't remember off the top of my head, but I don't think it can handle .dll files either. Hence the instructions to extract them manually.

 

The instructions are correct.

 

Edit: Thinking about it now, maybe I'm off base with MO not being able to handle the files. Maybe the issue is more the fact that MO would put files in the Skyrim\Data directory instead of the main Skyrim directory. Either way, it won't work installing it with MO. You have to do it manually.

You're right on the second point... Mod Organizer manages stuff in the Skyrim\Data directory.
