This guide is designed to help you get started with ENB and answer the some of the most common questions related to the use of ENBSeries mods for Skyrim. Please note, this is intended as a general overview of ENBSeries mod use. While this guide does contain many helpful tips and general configurations, it is not meant to answer questions about any specific ENBSeries mod. If seeking answers related to a particular ENB mod, please contact that mod's author. Thank you.

What is ENB?

ENBSeries is a powerful post processing modification tool available for Skyrim and other games. It was developed by Boris Vorontsov; who still maintains and updates the product. This tool enables users to create custom configurations (ENBs) designed to their own specifications by modifying rendering functions and the application of additional effects such as bloom, depth of field, and SSAO. ENBs often enhance overall lighting, colors, and shadows among other aspects of the game, but comes with a performance loss of anywhere between 5% to 50% of your total frames per second (FPS); depending on your hardware setup and the ENB features you use. Most find this loss acceptable compared to the enhancements and features gained from the ENB.
