ENB's are Driving Me INSANE! Help! D:

[victoriae350]

Greetings friends,

Recently i've started working on machinima for Skyrim. I've used a combination of FXAA Intejector and Vivid Weathers (with some Dynavision) to get some pretty decent results (if you want to know what i'm referring to look wise, you can look at THIS and THIS!). I've been adding stuff gradually, trying to find performance friendly mods so i can reduce how much FPS i lose, etc. so the machinima are as smooth as possible However, I wanted to upgrade the look and found out that some ENB's look awesome, and don't reduce FPS too much. I decided I wanted to try some to see if (a) that were true considering how much you lose depends on your computer power, and (b) if I liked the ENB look for machinima stuff.

 

I found THIS ENB. I felt like the look was perfect, and it said there was minimum FPS loss. I thought i'd, at least, try it and see how it went! I downloaded what was required from the ENB website according to the mod (so the proper ENB #) and put the files where they were suppose to go. As I was working through this process I followed THIS tutorial. In between following this to a T, and the mod page I was sure I had everything accounted for. When I loaded up Skyrim, I was happy to see the ENB binary on the top left! One thing I did right!

 

And then I loaded the game...and the ENB preset didn't work. I was fine at first. Since i'm not very good with ENB's i figured I'd scower the internet. Several hours later, i'm about to scream because i'm frustrated.

 

My laptop runs with windows 10. Here is the SkyrimPrefs info. I edited the file in the Skyrim folder under my games:

Correct these lines:

 

iMaxAnisotropy=0

iMultiSample=0

 

But the most important is your ENBlocal.ini

It must be perfect according to your computer.

 

note 1: Sakyamuni ENB needs climate of Tamriel and ELFX

 

note 2: for your first try, just use the standard version (AA and AF version). This will be easier for you. Don't use the smaa version or the sweetfx version
