The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

^^ Yup the only way to (mostly) prevent the striping just with ini tweaks is with "proper" settings for 8K shadows (which allows some additional softening without loss of smaller details) - but the engine isn't really designed for it and will hammer just about any GPU into the ground in some areas needlessly (2-16x performance hit compared to 4K shadows).

ENB does solve a lot of shadow issues though so no point playing around with advanced ini stuff if you do want fixed shadows.
 
One major issue I always run into and sometimes I can sort it, is the day brightness with ENB's. Using Realvision everything is so bright it looks awful, even turned the brightness way down :mad:

Not sure what to do really
 
Thanks man, used that one already..

Going to try these in the STEPS info for problems :)

Utilities
ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager and Remover - Removes ENB and FXAA installations and provides slots to load different ENB configurations for quick and painless switching.
IMAGINATOR - Visual Control Device for Skyrim - In-game tool that allows adjustment of color and lighting setting such as brightness, tint, contrast, saturation, etc. For many users this has been a useful way to adjust adjusting colors and lighting in-game with or without ENB.

May also remove - ELE (Enhanced Lighting [for] ENB), which I never used before!

http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB

Will get it working I'm sure :D
 
Well I thought it was step but it looks as if after 4 reinstalls it's still messed up. Colours , lighting and ctds! The only thing different from now to my setup guide is a new monitor and playing the steam version not the retail. Will try retail again ,:\
 
Working much better with retail and no crashes or colour/brightness issues! Now if only I could sort my performance out, as it's turned into a hog going up from 1080p - 1440p :D
 
Just been using that Skyrim video guide above, and WOW :eek::eek::eek: Blown away :D

However I've installed a lot of 1k-2k mods instead of 4k as that is a bit of a performance hog now I have a 1440p monitor. Has to be over 50fps all the time

Click to expand...

I use all of the Realvision mods and ENB plus about 80 more Neil lol. It is a stunner that's for sure. My total mods size is 52GB :eek::eek:

Spectra ENB is awful, the one from the Reddit.. Might give extra frame rates, but it looks like ass with no AF and gave me texture corruption and triangles
