ENBSeries INI Reference for Skyrim LE

A comprehensive and advanced guide and modder's resource for editing 'enbseries.ini' for Skyrim LE

by: The Step Team and community | Forum Topic

NOTE

This guide is a work in progress and is thus incomplete. While all INI parameters are listed and kept current, some of the parameter descriptions and image examples may be incomplete.

Guide Scope[edit | edit source]

This guide is intended as THE comprehensive reference to the functionality of all parameters found within enbseries.ini as it evolves. All of the user-configurable parameters contained within enbseries.ini are defined with screenshot examples (still a WIP). Parameters are presented by INI section headings in the order that they appear by default within enbseries.ini. Jump to a relevant INI section using the links below and navigate back to this 'hub' using the link that appears at the top of each section page.

→ Default INI (ENBseries v0.279)

INI parameters by section[edit | edit source]

ENB GUI Editing[edit | edit source]

This section is still only an idea and not complete.

Since ENBSeries v0.266, it is no longer recommended to toggle ssao/taa/reflection/dof on or off while in-game via the GUI. Reference

Credits[edit | edit source]

Much of the inspiration of this Guide came from a desire to have a complete reference for the enbseries.ini file. Some references exist such as, MTichenor's ENB Evolved User Manual which is included with his Preset and JawZ's Guide to ENBSeries, which this Guide's formatting is inspired by. Both were used in the initial creation of this Guide; however, MTichenor's Manual is outdated and JawZ's Guide is currently incomplete. Therefore, this ENBSeries INI Guide was created.

Credit goes out to both MTichenor and JawZ for the inspiration and reference for the beginnings of this Guide.

A very special thank you to the authors and contributors who helped STEP in this endeavor:

-== Introduction ==
+===INI parameters by section===
-Welcome to the ENBseries.ini Guide for [http://enbdev.com/index_en.html ENBSeries] for ''Skyrim''. The ENBSeries is a special type of mod called a post processor. It was created and is maintained by Boris Voronstov. ENB adds effects to Skyrim that were not available before, such as screen space ambient occulsion (SSAO) and depth of field (DoF), and provides a memory manager known as ENBoost. This Guide will help users become familiar with the advanced parameters found within ''enbseries.ini''.

-This Guide's aim is to encompass the entirety of the ''enbseries.ini'' file by defining the parameters within, defining the valid values for each of these parameters, and visually displaying the effect those parameters have. Users will find comparison screenshots for each of the parameter's values to better understand the visual effect each parameter has. Most users will be able to reference this Guide to either tweak an existing ENB preset to their liking or to create a new ENB preset from the ground up.
