It's important to recognize that Realvision leads in endorsements for ENB, but there are many outstanding presets available—some offering little to no real performance boost. In my experience, Realvision tends to be overly bright and blurry, which feels a bit exaggerated. It doesn’t suit my preferences, particularly because the most powerful modern ENB presets came out after the game’s popularity waned, leading to fewer endorsements on the Nexus. I’ve combined Natural Lighting and Vivid Atmospherics with custom settings from Straylight’s ENB, which improved ambient occlusion significantly. Adjusting depth of field and using the Skyrim Reloaded mod helped maintain performance while adding motion blur. If you’re interested, I’ll share some screenshots later. The key takeaway is to explore ENB options if you’re planning that path, and feel free to experiment with presets beyond the top-tier ones, as the list often favors early-release content.
Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like you're finding the vanilla intro repetitive, which makes sense after using it so often. Your plugin collection is expanding nicely.
It's quite straightforward, but it really pushed me to add another 20 hours to the game, haha!
Auto Unequip Ammo removes arrows and bolts if your bow or crossbow isn’t equipped. Fix Lip Sync resolves mismatched audio from character animations.
I finally got the lip sync working. I might auto-unlock ammo, but I usually take it off the bow/arrow when done. ENBs really hurt my FPS! Not that I can reach 144Hz with the creation engine and its quirks, but I don’t think Skyrim makes good use of newer hardware or SLI setups.
Based on your specifications, running an ENB should be smooth and stable at 60FPS. Some well-regarded ENBs like Realvision and NLA often perform well with their top settings, though they can be demanding in certain cases. Great options include Straylight ENB Seasons of Skyrim (available in performance builds), as well as Natural Lighting and Vivid Atmospherics. If you prefer adjustments, modify the enbseries.ini file to tweak settings such as Depth of Field and Ambient Occlusion—Depth is useful for screenshots but can affect gameplay. Be aware that ENBs may not integrate smoothly with SLI setups, so keeping the frame rate at 60FPS is ideal for optimal performance.
Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t familiar with adjusting ends before, so now I’ll explore the available settings.
