The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

Hmm getting bored of RealVision

Neil79 · 27 Dec 2014 at 22:04

Well I just found my new ENB, after testing all of them

Serenity ENB GEN12.5

The only thing I had to do, was turn off Ambient Occlusion as it was tanking my frame rates too hard. Everything else is enabled including dof! Doing 55-60fps in Whiterun

Next I'm going to mod Whiterun

If using an ENB, turn them both off in Skyrim Launcher and set to application preference in nvidia control panel, I believe.

As for AO, SHIFT+ENTER in game, turn it off in settings and apply-save

Yep, Ive been trying to sell Serenity throughout this thread. I like the natural colour palette and the way the DoF works.

Same! It's also nice being able to run it all but just turning Ambient Occlusion off, some of the other ENB's have way too much bloom or fantasy colours. Nothing worse than loading up, expecting sharp, and getting a Vaseline screen bright green grass and dodgy DOF.

The joys of Skyrim, don't like something try something else

Neil79 · 29 Dec 2014 at 20:55

If you want deeper blacks and shadows in your ENB instead of AO, turn off bloom! Looks so much better, never liked bloom in other games either

Just been listening to the new music/soundtrack to Skyrim that I've added to op, it's just lovely. I end up sitting in the grass listening to it

QUESTION : Is there a way to back up all these mod zips from mod manager in the same categories without having to download them again?

Neil79 · 30 Dec 2014 at 10:56

Not using Mod Organizer but nexus mod manager

But thanks for taking the time for the helpful reply TheSwede

Neil79 · 30 Dec 2014 at 22:08

Bored, so giving Seasons of Skyrim ENB a try

Using the data files, extreme performance, optional sharpen and DOF in settings

I've installed this and hereby declare it a refreshing wee change.

Indeed

Might want to change your frame rate monitor to measure frames per minute

I've always used MSI Afterburner and it's at 55/60 most of the time

Neil79 · 31 Dec 2014 at 19:14

Note to self, don't have vibrance at 75% and wonder why Skyrim looks like a cartoon

Is anyone else getting random naked NPC's?

Come on own up, you're using a sexy mod right?

^ Update to my post, still using Season of Skyrim ENB and very happy with it

Neil79 · 3 Jan 2015 at 13:01

As I said clearly in the op don't use the cap in the ENB

Follow the instructions for a smooth experience

Neil79 · 3 Jan 2015 at 14:16

No performance issues here

Neil79 · 4 Jan 2015 at 18:24

Got a new 64GB usb stick, so I'm going to back up Skyrim just incase!
