Before installing any of the ENBs, you'll need Boris Vorontsov's [http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm ENBSeries]. Most ENBs are still using the older 0.119 version; however, refer to your chosen ENB's documentation to be sure you download the correct version for your ENB. (Version 0.123 is mainly for testing purposes so don't use it unless the ENB says to. Hardware AA is ''not'' supported in version 0.123) | Before installing any of the ENBs, you'll need Boris Vorontsov's [http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm ENBSeries].

There are ENB and other lighting mods that come in just about every style and color. This section can be extremely subjective and as such we suggest you browse around to find the perfect solution to fit your tastes. A Post-Processing Pack to offer numerous and varied suggestions is being planned, but in the mean time we offer three of our favorites as a starting point. | |||

: '''Baseline''': ENBSeries v0.119 <!--Realistic Colors and Real Nights (RCRN) is the recommended lighting mod. (see the Configuration tab)--> | |||
<!--*# If planning to use [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1875 RCRN] do '''not''' install Climates of Tamriel (see section 2.C of the guide) or the Fog mods above.--> | |||
:# The "''Cinematic''" or "''Vanilla''" presets are the STEP recommended choices. | |||
:# Turn off Bloom and/or DOF if you don't like it via the enbseries.ini file. It is recommended to turn off SSAO via the enbseries.ini file as well. (see the configuration tab) | |||
:#* More powerful rigs with Nvidia graphics can leave SSAO turned on for increased visuals. SSAO isn't available on AMD so there's no reason to use it. | |||
:#* For less powerful rigs it is recommended you turn off both DOF and SSAO as they have the most performance impact. | |||
:# Copy the folder contents (''effect.txt'', ''enbbloom.fx'', etc.) to your root "''Skyrim''" folder ('''not''' your "''Data''" folder). | |||

:# If <u>not</u> planning to use [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17802 Climates of Tamriel] (see section 2.C of the guide), use "''Project ENB (Standalone)''". | |||
:# Ignore the "''Data''" and "''Optional effects''" folders. | |||
:# In the appropriate "''Project ENB''" folder there are five choices. "''Option C (DOF only)''" is the recommended choice. | |||
:#* More powerful rigs with Nvidia graphics can use "''Option A (DOF + SSAO)''" for increased visuals. SSAO isn't available on AMD so there's no reason to use it. | |||
