HankTheYank27 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! I'm pretty new to modding (just got a new PC last week :D) and have been looking around at ENB's. So I finally figured out how to install them and use presets, options, etc (though I don't understand the in-game ENB menu) and I am finally able to go through them fairly quickly to check them out without screwing up my game. Now before I ask this question, please keep in mind that a bit of familiarity and possibly just a tad bit of fanboyism for the Hobbit and LOTR films must be in order. I would of course love to hear that you love Tolkien's stories but I'm mainly talking about the film here. Have you seen it enough to know it well? I want an ENB that gives my game the general look and color scheme of the Hobbit films. It's not hard to notice how crystal clear and vibrant Peter Jackson's films look (in no small part due to the higher frame rate). I have the first two Hobbit films on Blue Ray and man oh man are they shiny! Probably the sharpest movies I have ever seen. Now besides the sharpness and lack of film grain they have kind of a unique color as well. I have noticed that everything has a very vivid color but not too vivid. In particular I have noticed kind of a golden hugh. Not the orangish sepia looking color that many "cinematic" ENB's have but a bright and sunny color. Very warm. Interiors are very warm and cozy. Nights and cold areas on mountains have a cool blue look to them. Everything pops. Metal looks very silvery. Just find some pics on Google if you want to see. So far the ENB's I have tried have either been too over saturated and orange looking or too cool and bright. I want a more golden look where snowy areas and nights are cold and blue if possible. Anyone have any ideas? I may have tried some suggestions so please be specific on presets and extra options. Also mention any other mods you think would go well together. I would like something that can maintain a decent frame rate if possible. 40-60 fps. My system specs: i7 GTX 760 8gbt RAM Also please direct me to any other forums or users where I may get a good answer if you know of any. Thanks for the consideration guys and happy modding! I have only just began my journey and I plan to explore every little path along the way! As you can probably guess I strive to make my Skyrim look very LOTR/Hobbit inspired. Feel free to recommend any mods. :D Edited December 29, 2014 by HankTheYank27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBawb Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I can only assume that by "Hobbit movie-like ENB" you'd be looking for something more cinematic Feel free to give these a shot, or let me know if they're not what you're looking for http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38805/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13292/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4142/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12180/?

Hope that helps!Hey! I'm so sorry for taking so long to get back with you! I have been having some serious BSOD issues with my new PC. Hopefully what Asus support has had me do will fix it but if it happens again I'm gonna have to send it in and have it looked at. I might have a faulty Nvidia card. Down to business shall we? I am currently re-installing Skyrim after a recent factory reset :/ so I can't test anything until I have it up and running along with some updates and some of my other mods. As for what you sent, I never had the chance to try anything. I have looked them over though. I did try the Stakado ENB along with his other one a while back but couldn't figure out quite how it works. It's supposed to be customizable but I don't know how to do that because it has to be done in-game somehow. Any advice? I really want to try Poupouri but it won't work with lighting and weather mods. I have Climates of Tamriel and ELFX and really don't want to get rid if them. WIll this (and other ENBs that don't work with these sorts of mods) make up for the lack of cool lighting and weather? Climates of Tamriel has so many cool things it does including added sounds and what not while ELFX adds things like candle smoke and enhanced shadows. What would you recommend or what is your take on these trade-offs? I honestly haven't had enough chance to play modded Skyrim yet to know what the game would be like with or without some of these mods working together. As for the other two you recommended, one was too colorful and the other was not colorful enough :SYou seem to enjoy LOTR... What do you use in your game? Are there any other mods you would recommend be it visual or something else?I really like the look of the Opethfeldt ENB and the Serenity ENB but they are both really complex to install and neither will work with lighting or weather mods >:( I pretty much want my Skyrim to look like these...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os1G8RtqY2chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os1G8RtqY2cPay close attention to the colors. Warm and rich in the light but cool and blue in the cold and the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBawb Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It's supposed to be customizable but I don't know how to do that because it has to be done in-game somehow. Any advice? I do believe holding Shift and Enter will bring up the in-game customizable menu. To be honest I don't use ENBs personally, my machine can't handle them, it drops the frame rate like a rock. I recommended those assuming you were looking for the more cinematic look that the Hobbit films give. With the in-game customizer you should be able to get them the way you want. As for graphic-enhancing mods I use myself, I pretty much only use subtle mods that enhance the look of my current mod project. Which limits it down to two, I use Lush Grass and pure waters. (Not much I know, but as I mentioned before my rig is pathetic) I used to use 2k textures as well, but it made my game look like a timelapse, so I got rid of that. But I do have some recommendations for LoTR mods. Isilmeriel's LoTR weapon collection http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5727/? Women Of middle Earth http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30938/?

Middle Earth http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51319/? Island Hobbit Hole http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50685/? Sorry I couldn't come up with anymore ENB recommendations, but If I come across any that match the vids you linked, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyrimJake15 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Stakado Cinemascope ENB is a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokieff1917 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Reviving to ask for the same thing. Looking for an ENB with the overall look of Peter Jackson's LOTR movies. Examples: The gorgeous colour palette in the Shire, the blueish tint at night (Battle of the Hornburg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
