Trouble with ENB after uninstalling. Please help!

[tooktook1905]

So today I installed a bunch of new mods for Skyrim, mostly aesthetic mods and weapon/armor mods, but whilst playing, the game crashed due to memory issues. I installed ENB and a memory fix in an attempt to fix this, which is where the problems began.

 

Upon relaunching the game I found that ENB had caused snow terrain to be ridiculously bright as well as causing the sky colour to change from bright to dark depending on how high or low I looked. I tried disabling settings like Bloom in ENB as well as changing the direct lighting numbers but none of this worked in the slightest. I decided to remove the ENB files from my Skyrim directory, and when I relaunched the game the ENB text in the top left no longer showed yet somehow when I loaded my save file the snow and sky were still the exact same as before I removed ENB...

 

Does anyone know what I've done wrong and/or a fix to this?

You may have missed some files, or perhaps load an earlier save from before you installed the enb. Also make sure that if you made any .ini tweaks that you've removed them or put them back to what they were.

 

Why don't you post your load order and we can see perhaps what the issue is? If you don't know how, if using LOOT (which you should be), click on the 3 dots in the top right and copy Load order, then paste it here. What ENB were you using? Are you using NMM? Mod Organizer?

 

Look in your skyrim folder and delete any file/folder that starts with or says:

enb

smaa

d3d9

 

Now that you've wiped out the last ENB, start your Skyrim launcher from steam and make sure in the options that Subsurface and Antailiasing are turned off. Then Exit the launcher instead of starting the game. Now if you want ENB, lets proceed with lets say Snapdragon enb (I chose this because in the profiles there are many visual styles you can use if you prefer it to look like a different ENB).

 

1. Download the latest skyrim enb files .v308 from http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0308.htm (Download button is all the way at the bottom)

2. Open the file and navigate to the wrapper folder. Then drag the d3d9.dll and the enbhost.exe into your Skyrim folder. The same folder TESV.exe is in.

3. Now download Snapdragon Prime ENB V4.1 manually.

4. Open the snapdragon folder and navigate to the "Install" folder and highlight everything there and drag it into the same Skyrim folder.

5. Open your mydocuments/mygames/skyrim folder and open your skyrimprefs.ini and change the values in it to the same that he mentions on his page (or do this through MO in the ini section). If you can't find one or more of these in the skyrimprefs.ini, just add the line in exactly as mentioned. Save and exit. Here below is what you add/change.
