Help! My Skyrim SE is extremely bright!

[wyamane]

My Skyrim is extremely bright. Outdoors, it is almost pure white. I can hardly see anything within 5 feet of my character. Indoors is far better but the light coming from torches and other lighting elements are still too bright as well.

 

I've downloaded about 3 different ENB's hoping to fix it but it didn't work. I also tried fiddling with the ENB settings using ENB helper but I had no clue what anything meant. I also deactivated my ENB mid-game using Shift + F12 and it worked but obviously, I don't want to play without ENB. So to me it is clear that using an ENB and whatever it brings along with it is causing the issue but I want to pinpoint the cause exactly.

 

If you'd be willing to help It would be greatly appreciated!

Might turn brightness all the way down in your in game settings.

 

Or make fGamma=0.6000 which does essentially the same thing.

 

This may alleviate your problem but probably not do everything that you want as your problem is connected to an ENB.

 

You could settle on your favorite ENB and then post your enblocal.ini settings and see if someone who is using the same, or similar ENB could advise you.

 

I would also move my post to the SSE forum as this is the Legendary forum and the enblocal.ini settings may be different for SSE than Legendary. I do not know if this is true as I do not use an ENB in SSE.
