Switching to ENB
2 minute read
This modlist uses Community Shaders by default. This suite of mods provides an extremely modern look to the game, while delivering a smaller performance hit than ENB. Previously, this modlist used ENB as a default, however the switch was made to CS recently.
If you have not used modern Community Shaders, I implore you to try it out! Relatively recent updates have brought the visuals to a level comparable to ENB, with many areas exceeding ENB. The performance gains must also be considered. We are playing a game, after all!
If you do decide you wish to switch to ENB, this modlist does provide multiple optional ENB presets. Below are instructions on disabling Community Shaders and using ENB.
Disabling Community Shaders
Note: If you are using Frame Generation Mods, ensure that you are using the correct version after switching to ENB!
Scroll to the very top of the left pane of Mod Organizer, and select all of the mods within the COMMUNITY SHADERS separator.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of Mod Organizer’s left pane. Double click the Overwrite “mod” at the absolute bottom.
Highlight the ShaderCache directory, and delete it. Ensure that it is no longer in the list of files within Overwrite.
With the above steps, Community Shaders is disabled. To enable ENB, follow the below steps.
Enabling ENB
All of the mods in the ENB (OPTIONAL) separator have notes attached to them, which can be viewed by hovering over the notepad icon associated with that mod. These notes further reiterate what is on this page, but also contain more information. Be sure to read these!
Scroll to very top of the left pane of Mod ORganizer, and expand the collapsed-by-default ENB (OPTIONAL) separator, underneath Community Shaders.
Enable the ENBSeries Core mod. This must always be enabled when using ENB.
If you are using ENB Preset - Silent Horizons 2 - Universal Core, you MUST enable the KiLoader for Skyrim mod. If you are not using this preset, DO NOT enable KiLoader for Skyrim.
The other two presets do not require anything except for ENBSeries Core to be enabled. Ensure that you only have one preset enabled at a time.
