I am still a bit new to ENB/Reshades/SweetFX so if you have any recommendations please let me know! That’s all this preset does as of now until Boris adds/fixes ENB features that would enhance the Vanilla experience subtly. Noticeable but subtle DOF with smooth transitions (I like DOF and believe if done right makes FO4 more immersive)Īccomplish all of this by modifying as little as possible as to preserve color balance and minimize fps loss Remove the washed-out look, also making nights darkerīut avoid overly-dark shadows which make faces look too starkĪnd make sure nights aren’t so dark that you can’t see somebody’s face, striking a balance between realism and playability I created with this ENB preset with the following goals in mind: So I meticulously went about tweaking my own ENB preset from scratch making sure to keep things as balanced as possible. The only thing that annoyed me was the washed-out look and lack of DOF outside of dialogue.
So I started comparing my preferred ENBs to Vanilla and realized that Vanilla is quite good and balanced across all lighting conditions, certainly better than the current ENBs. I even found that mods/presets designed to retain the vanilla look made some extreme changes to hue/saturation/contrast (perhaps unintentionally) that were too much for me. However, I also released a DOF-Only version for those who just want to add a subtle DOF to their preferred lighting/color correction configuration.Īfter trying a variety of ENBs, I thought many of them looked great in certain locations but were too noticeably distorted in more extreme lighting conditions such as Railroad HQ or inside the Institute.
This preset is not meant to be used with any mods that alter Vanilla color, gamma, contrast, brightness, filters–not even darker nights mods. This ENB is for those who like the Vanilla experience (color palette) and simply want to remove that washed-out look, while adding some darker nights and a touch of DOF.
