My skyrim looks terrible. NLVA+ELFX combo.

I dont see any major differences between those pictures except weather condition, place, angle of screenshot, and time.

 

Try looking/exploring some more.., around the skyrim area. Not all places are beautiful and eyegasm-inducing.

 

You know those people who made that kind of video, dont typically show all(every) parts/angles of skyrim areas, because there are some parts are just plain and ... not so pretty compared to other surrounding areas.

You are right. With this setup some places look better than others but nowhere that I've found with the yellow aspen trees. I dunno the lighting in the video screenshot just looks softer. I don't think I could do a playthrough with it looking like it does at the moment. When the it gets around mid-day it looks really bad.

TBH, the 'guide' you mentioned is just a bunch of mods thrown together. I would go for content and stability first, then the basic texture replacer with enb in mind, at the end enb on top of it.

While the latest version of ENB goes more for stability at the cost of performance, 0.292 is the last one that went for performance only.

 

I would follow this: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/74427/?

Then install whatever texture mods you want and feel happy. The author is also very responsive and helpful.

 

Or for a complete package with preselected mods for you, follow the STEP project: http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2

Thanks for the reply and link. Had a good look through it and theres some handy stuff in there. I think I'll stop installing my mods for now and focus on the ini tweaks and fixes mentioned in the link. I've only just started all again so good timing. Had a look at the step project but its not really my thing. At least following a guide I can change mods to my liking.

Yep, it is the same for me. And The STEP Project offers patches to make the mods work flawless together, but those obviously only work if you follow the guide 100% and use every mod mentioned exactly like that.

The guide mentioned does include how you make at least a basic Merged Patch yourself for compatibility of the mods you use.

I can tell you now unless you share your order and what manager you're using you will need more details for any fix. I use both and they look excellent together. You're using maybe an incompatible file or have the ENB incorrectly configured. ENB's generally have problems if you use the ELFX Enhancer file. I use the Exteriors, ELFX main and that is it and I also run Immersive Content Lighting too. I didn't check your replies but if you could share your Skyrim base folder (where you install ENB's) and check to see you have the correct files and that your ENBlocal ini and ENBseries INI are set correctly. It works and it makes a world of difference. You can also configure the weather with the outdated Vivid Weathers MCM (on the NLVA download links).

You also should install the Vivid Weathers mod itself. Disable the ESP and just use the assets like textures and meshes. You ONLY need to disable the esp for Vivid Weathers. If using Mod Organizer have Natural Lighting Vivid Atmospherics lower in your load order and left pane than Vivid Weathers. With the Vivid Weathers esp disabled you will use all the mods assets in NLVA. Make sure you have installed the correct version. Check that you are not using ANY other texture mod for clouds or weathers. You can use NLVA with any other land mods like Falskaar and Wyrmstooth too. The weathers are outstanding if you get it to run right. Find out if your PC is up to specs on this too so you can correctly use the ENB. That is essentially what NLVA is so make sure you have all those settings checked, changed and corrected for your specific system.

Not sure if you are still looking at options here... I had a look at the screenshots in your first post. The grass and tree textures seem to be sharp, and that's probably the reason why the image doesn't look fetching in this particular lighting. Try turning on Depth of Field and you should have a pretty decent image. Like others have said, explore other areas at different times and you should see it's really pretty nice.

 

Edit: You could also try other presets like Vividian, NLA, etc. and decide which one personally suits you best.

If you think that looks terrible, I'd hate to see what you call amazing. I just dont get it. That blows mine away.

Also, ensure that EnableEdgeAA is set to true in your enblocal.ini file. Edge Antialiasing can be set via the in-game ENB menu too.

I like DonProtein's guide, however I ran into similar issues (90% certain it's NVLA, or some missed settings somewhere) and also flickering lights issue (pretty sure the lights was Relighting Skyrim), currently in the process of working things out with it myself, haven't reinstalled everything just yet. Starting to feel like less is more with an i5, GTX 750, 4GB RAM, etc.. I'm opting to go with all 2k textures, considering taking Climates of Tamriel over NVLA.

 

Edit: I actually decided to scrap using his guide all together, found a few useful mods out of it but meh
