Perhaps you're thinking of Bleak / Unbleak? I like that one, but nope, that's not it. I remember the banner having a werewolf in it, if that helps.

I remember a mostly black and white ENB that had small amounts of color here and there. It's not Sanguinoire. It's not Noir.

You know those review videos that get posted on the description page of popular mods? Those videos are all linked to youtube channels with more reviews. Plow through a playlist of those reviews and you should get yourself caught up on what the modding scene has been doing for the past 3 years.

Skyrim Mod Combiner is a fairly painless way to stuff even more HD textures into your game, and who doesn't love HD textures?

Why not make the quest yourself? Surely there must be a tutorial on it somewhere, and then you wouldn't have to beg.

1. Good question. I had to think about this for a bit. It's a difficult question for me because I download so many different kinds of mods that I couldn't think of any specific patterns. Now that I give it some thought, though, I like bundled mods. Anything hinting at lots of content like "overhaul", "redone", or something that suggests a complete, expansive mod is much more attractive to me than a mod that appears to be incomplete or only changes small things. For example, "Skyrim Flora Overhaul" sounds much better to me than "Steel arrow Retexture". Also, anything with the word "fix" in it, for obvious reasons. 2. I like mods that add difficulty, implement creatures, weapons, spells, etc into the game in a way that feels natural and immersive (such as adding any of the aforementioned things to leveled lists), changes gameplay mechanics, or improves graphics. Yes, that covers a majority of everything on the Nexus, but I'm sure you'll find that to be pretty common. With Skyrim modding, you have the ability to do just about whatever you want, so most people do. 3. Compatibility is the most important thing for me. If there are two mods that do similar things but one of them looks like it would be more compatible with other mods I use, I'll probably go with the one with better compatibility. For example, that's one reason I use SkyRe over Requiem. Second is customization. Maybe it's superficial, but I like mods that allow to customize the settings. It gives a sense of control over what I'm putting onto my game. Modules and MCM's go a long way for this. That's another reason I use SkyRe over Requiem. I've already said that I like big mods, so aside from that it just depends on what the mod promises to do and whether or not I think it's worth adding it to my game.

Well, I fixed the problem by deleting all of my mods and reinstalling Skyrim. It was high time for a clean slate anyway. Still, if anyone has any insight into what went wrong, I'd be more than happy to know for next time. As far as I know, the game was working before I tried to install the ENB. But uninstalling the ENB did not work, and disabling all of my mods and texture packs did not work.

I tried to install an ENB. It did not work. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions on that page precisely, but I CTD while on the main menu. It's not a "normal" CTD like when you have a mod activated the uses a master file that you don't have. The main menu actually loads for a second before crashing. The problem persists under any/all of these conditions: 1. All mods activated(not including the ones that shouldn't ever be activated under any circumstances) 2. All mods disabled except for update.esm and skyrim.esm 3. With all ENB-related files removed 4. With all ENB-related files present 5. With high algo boost enabled 6. With high algo boost uninstalled 7. with main menu randomizer installed 8. with main menu randomizer uninstalled(the .dll has been removed from the skse plugins folder and the mainmenuwallpapers folder has been moved out of skyrim\data, but the images show up for some reason regardless) 9. with RendererInfo.txt, Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini removed and regenerated 10. with the above 3 original files present This covers everything I tried to do and I can't think of anything else. What follows is my BOSS log and my Skyrim folder. I'm not sure if either of these things will help, but I guess it couldn't hurt to include them. Keep in mind that all except two mods on the following log are inactive. http://i.imgur.com/R4ueExL.jpg
