INTRODUCTION

This guide is designed to answer 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. It is not meant to answer questions about any specific ENBSeries mod configuration. If seeking answers related to a particular ENB mod please contact that mods author. Thank you.

WHAT IS ENB

ENBSeries is the most powerful post processing modification available for Skyrim. This tool enables users to create custom configurations designed to their own specifications by modifying rendering functions and the application of additional effects. (Much more detailed explanation to come)

INSTALLATION

'NOTE: ENB MUST be installed manually. It is NOT compatibile with any mod manager)

While slightly more involved than experienced ENB users may be accustomed to, this installation procedure ensures you will not encounter any possible issues related to the installation process.

*PRIOR TO INSTALLATION*

• Calibrate your monitor
• Make sure your graphic drivers are up to date. If not, please download and install via a clean installation.

• Download the recommended ENB d3d9.dll for your chosen ENB mod HERE
• Save the folder you just downloaded on your desktop
• Please, if this is your first time using an ENB, read the TESV documentation HERE

• Back up your current ENB if currently using one
• Back up your current FXAA post-process injector if currently using one
• Back up your game inis. These are the Skyrim.ini and SkyimPrefs.ini, located in your MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim folder
• Back up your game saves

• Delete ALL ENB files in your Skyrim main folder
• Delete ALL post-process injector files in your Skyrim main folder

Then, follow this process :

• 1 Make sure you saved your game inis on your desktop
• 2 Delete RendererInfo.txt in MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim
• 3 Launch TESV.exe. Skyrim will recognize your renderer. The launcher will then regenerate two default game inis.
• 4 Don't launch the game, quit.
• 5 Delete the two default inis
• 6 Put your saved inis back in your MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim folder and keep a copy on your desktop
• 7 Quit

INSTALLATION - GAME INIS

For ENB to work as intended, you will have to make some modifications in your game inis.

Edit the following line in your SkyrimPrefs.ini, located in [Display] section:

bFloatPointRenderTarget=0 (CHANGE THIS TO 1)
