MORE ENB problems.... FFS!

[nagrom2608]

Hi Guys.

 

I'm back.

 

Okay so I've been trying to follow sinitars guide for next gen looking graphics

and as far as I can tell, I've installed the Rudy ENB correctly.

 

However......

 

When I went into the game, the sky looked horrendous. VERY low poly looking flat shaded thick bands. Instead of a nice gradual shading.

 

I went back into my load order, and double checked that I had installed the enb version of Natural Lighting, and vivid atmospherics. To make sure I did, I installed the enb files again from the nexus. Now my game failed to load up a saved game.

 

To TRY and get it back to how it was before, I reinstalled Rudy. With the hope of overwriting the NLVA enb. I installed the CoT version, as I know my game always ran with CoT. However, It still fails to load.

 

Also BEFORE I started this project, I FIANALLY had my verdant/Flora overhaul working great. Now I seem to have lost all my grass again. Even though, as far as I know, they've not changed.

I'm buggered if I can figure out what I've done wrong. All I want is a game that'll run an enb with no issues. I seem to have NO end of problems with what SHOULD be a fairly easy task. How to these Skyrim geniuses get thier game looking so sweet, with no problems?

 

Thanks in advance.

To Do:

• Rudy ENB comes with a fix for the sky mesh (the banding that you're talking about), and I don't see it installed. Install the RAR file for Rudy ENB by using the Add Mod button (top-left), do a "Manual" install, right-click on "[ Data folder ]" and set it as Data.
• You can use the NLVA version or the CoT version, but not both. Again, disable the one you're not using on the left side.
• For NLVA, you need the data files from Vivid Weathers, but none of the ESPs. Not sure if you did that or not, since I don't see it in your mod list.
• Not sure what's wrong with your grass again. Make sure your INI files aren't set as read-only, or else your in-game settings won't save.
• Remove UFO and Dance of Death. There's no reason to keep them. If you want to keep them anyway, then be sure to uncheck them on the left side, not just in the Plugins tab.
• Move "Skyrim HD - 2K Textures" right after your Optimized Textures packs. Large textures packs should be high up, or else they might overwrite textures from smaller, more specific mods.

Thanks again. I've uninstalled the enb using the removal tool on the nexus. I'll reinstall, and check these steps. UFO, and DoD are switched off in MO.

 

As for the grass? I'm baffled. As far as I can tell, nothings changed with the ini settings. I'll have to some more investigating on that.

 

Cheers.

[nagrom2608]

Okay made those changes. Only problem is, somehow my saves have become bugged. Due to a problem with the way Mod Organizer/Skyrim is handling the save files, Overwriting the same files, and not creating any new ones, I'll have to go to a very old save to test it.

 

Thanks again.
