Need help with injectors and Sharpshooters ENB

[theonlyapex]

Alright. So I am brand new to modding, but a few reddit posts convinced me that skyrim really is better on PC. I'm not computer illiterate at all, but am by no means advanced.

 

Anyway, I would like to install (among other things) Sharpshooters ENB version 3, the one with the climates of tamriel and all that. I have been getting very confused as to the steps I need to take to make this happen. In fact, it got pretty messed up to the point I scrapped the whole thing and uninstalled and am reinstalling now. The main thing I think I'm getting messed up at is the question of needing to install the binary(?) files from enbdev, then install sharpshooters presets? Also, I have a gtx 580m, and my card won't turn on when I actually did have the enb running. I know this means I need to use an injector then, but is that on top of the other two enb files? Or does it replace one? And where does climates of tamriel come into play then? After all of the injector/enb/sharpshooter stuff?

 

I'm sorry for probably not making sense, but if anyone could help me out that'd be awesome.

 

Thanks!

install climates of tamriel first, just in case your favourite enb mod overwrites certain files for compatibility reasons.

 

then you'll only need the d3d9.dll file from http://www.enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm -> copy this file into your main folder (where tes.exe is located)

important: make sure you get the right version, it's usually outlined on the mod page which .dll version you should use. there's a problem with your particular enb mod though. it seems that you can't use sharpshooters climates of tamriel compatible version due to the required enb version not being available anymore. you might want to look for alternatives, like project enb which I'm using. it's compatible with climates and offers various presets as well.

 

now copy all the files from the actual enb-mod archive into your main folder and you should be good to go. as far as I know, the injector is supposed to replace d3d9.dll. use only one of them. btw. visuals can be tweaked by opening and modifying the enbseries.ini.
