2 Noob questions about ENB

[Crispyballz]

First off, I use an enb with a lot of color, which includes making the sky deep blue. I don't like this, so is there a mod that changes the sky a bit brighter?

READ BELOW:

Most important: How do I make shadows darker in ENB? Should I go to the ENB ini or something like that but ENBPrefs? I am horrible at moding...

 

Thanks.

If you installed ENB correctly, then all you have to do is press Shift+Enter while in game and the config menu will pop up. Then you can adjust all of the settings in real time and see the result as you adjust it. If you don't have all the correct files installed, then I suggest going to enbdev website and re-reading the install info. If you want to directly change the ini without being able to see the result in real time, then you can go to your Skyrim installation directory and look for 'enbseries.ini'. This is where all of your ENB settings can be adjusted.

 

To change the darkness of shadows, there are a few things you need to understand. Shadows are created by having a bright sun "DirectLightingIntensityDay" and low ambient light "AmbientLightingIntensityDay". Both of these can be found under the [Environment] section.

 

If you turn your ambient lighting intensity 'down' then your shadows will become darker. There is one thing to know though, if you have 'EnableSkyLighting=true' enabled under the '[Effect]' section then you will also have an adjustment called "AmbientMinLevel=0.14" which can be found under the '[skyLighting]' section.

 

To change the sky, look for the [sky] section and turn UP "[GradientIntensityDay]"

 

Note that there is a separate setting for day, and one for night so make sure you edit both accordingly.

Make a backup of your enbseries.ini file before changing anything, just in case, its always good to have the original to refer to.
