Less Darker Shadows for ENB


AlienSensei

Recommended Posts

You can adjust the "darkness" of the shadows yourself, and it's really quite easy...

 

Shadows are controlled by ambient light settings within the enbseries.ini file. Days, nights (and interiors if using a later ENB) have their own ambient light intensity values - so if the shadows are too dark for you then simply raise the ambient level to your liking. To make it easy to find the setting that you like I'd recommend putting Skyrim into windowed mode, and you can alt+tab to the enbseries.ini file (opened with any text editor) make your change(s), save the .ini, alt+tab back to the game and press backspace to reload the .ini. Repeat until happy :biggrin:

 

If you're using a recent-ish version of ENB (v0.126 onwards) you can remain in full-screen mod and press shift+enter in game and an editor will present itself where you can adjust the same settings but without having to leave Skyrim at all - just remember to save the adjusted settings when done.

This works very well. Personally I found that these settings helped ridding the game of the downright black areas:

 

AmbientLightingCurveDay=0.3

AmbientLightingCurveNight=0.3

AmbientLightingCurveInteriorDay=0.5

AmbientLightingCurveInteriorNight=0.5

 

The default for all of those values =1.0

 

Now I don't get "disoriented" just because I'm running on the shadow side of a house in the afternoon or morning.

There isn't really a 'these numbers are perfect'. It depends on your mods, monitor, and a whole bunch of other things. The important thing is to tweak those values to your liking.

I am aware of that, but the major part of contrast between light and dark seems to be altered a lot with this setting.

 

Try it yourself. First default 1, then 10-100, then 0.1 or even 0.01. Reducing it by more than 50% of what you're using now will show you results no matter what settings or hardware you're using now.

Right, the settings to change are good to list, listing actual values is pretty pointless.
