ewar Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, I'm new to modding skyrim. I tried out a pre modded skyrim with a bunch of mods for game and video enhancements. I've decided to setup and get the best graphics quality I can.Due to never doing this before, I'm confused over what graphics mods I can use with what and hoping someone can clear this up. I have seen that the ENB series offers a good increase and graphics quality so I'm set on using that along with the superb ENB-RL which seems to be held with high regards.Then I come accross the 2k texture pack. Am I able to mix these 2 together or does ENB change textures as well? I'm not entirely sure how ENB mods the game and what it changes, so it's hard to work out what I can stick on with it. Also, last question! What do I do about the actualy skyrim Graphics settings. Do I just choose the normal stuff of what I usually play on or do I have to adjust the settings to a default spec for the mods to work? Thanks in advance!

Shadiva Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ENB is most how the light works, can be some more added like Letterboxing, i recommend you have highest possible grafic on, aspecially shadows, may be some flickering otherwise in the shadow areas or on your char, and it does not retexture or anything like that, the huge diffrence you are seeing is just better light, the vanilla light is just that bad :biggrin: also i am recomending using only ENB no other grafic enhancer, to get as high FPS as possible, otherwise some screen flickering can happen if the FPS gets to low am myself using: ENBSeries v0.119 by Boris Vorotsov http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0119.htm And Cinematically Realistic ENB http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20654# with SSAO - SSIL off Hope al this was of some help, ask on if there are anything else, happy modding mate! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throttlekitty Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ENB doesn't mod the game in the traditional sense of changing existing files, so it will work with any type of mod. It runs code alongside the game to perform post-process graphics effects. For graphics options, check the readme, there's a few manual changes to the .ini to make or ENB to work properly.

Xescream Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If you could tell us what graphics card and cpu you have that would make it easier for us to recommend things for you. I am using Project ENB and it looks great on my GTX 680 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20781 Every ENB looks different on every computer so I'd suggest trying several until you find one that really looks good. Make sure you read the readme files and the descriptions so you know if any other files are included. I also recommend a few key mods for really making skyrim look better:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/141 Skyrim Flora Overhaulhttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3385 Lush Treeshttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8655 Static Mesh Improvement Mod If you want further advice, feel free to PM me.

ewar Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have an i7 2600k @ 4.6ghz with SLI 3gb 580s along with 8gb RAM.No point giving anymore! I have been using Sharpshooters extreme grpahics ENB as it gives WAY better performance than superl3. I'm find that things are too bright though and night isn't dark enough.

Shadiva Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Try out ENB Customizer, and you can change it to your liking :smile: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewar Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does anyone know of any mods that increase texture detail in the distance? Don't like having mountains look blurry and untextured :(I have ugrids at 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimhsu Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I've been rolling with the following config so far: Opethfeldt6 ENB (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/18941)SweetFXBokeh DoF and Tilt Shift for ENBSeries (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24024) Plus the texture mods, etc. The fidelity is amazing, and performance impact is surprisingly moderate ("only" a 6950 here, no monster SLI rig).

mindw0rk2 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Just download this torrent and unpack archive to Skyrim folder. It is my collection of pretty much all the best textures from Nexus combined with Realistic Hope ENB (the best imho), some graphic and sound tweaking mods, +few immersion mods. All I could find to make picture quality in Skyrim remarkable. Only for high end PCs (need at least 580 GTX).Few pics:http://i26.fastpic.ru/big/2012/1202/43/12286ab74431936d4664722dec18f443.jpghttp://i26.fastpic.ru/big/2012/1202/57/c74a24540d1c39ab57d4118b0e34de57.jpghttp://i26.fastpic.ru/big/2012/1202/e3/cdfc1e07e2ebb045adc148c64866ffe3.jpghttp://i47.fastpic.ru/big/2012/1118/85/022b417f29f570f82a0f62ac9c54f585.jpghttp://img14.imageshack.us/img14/715/realistichope3.jpg Edited December 2, 2012 by mindw0rk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
