Installation[]

This is a general guide on installing an ENB for Skyrim. Note that not all ENBs are installed in the same way, so it is still necessary to read through the descriptions of certain pages. Please read this guide in its entirety before taking action. You may also want to back up files before editing them.

Where to find it[]

First, download the latest version of the ENB program from the official website, ENBdev. Extract the zipped package from your download folder. After extracting the ZIP-file, you'll see two folders, one called the Wrapper version and one called the Injector version. There isn't much difference between the two, but most people opt for the Wrapper version. The Injector version is said to be more performance friendly however, and is more often used when there are incompatibility issues with your system. Most computers are compatible with the Wrapper version, especially when playing on Windows.

Proceeding with the Wrapper version: Copy the files from the Wrapper version into the Skyrim root folder, which is where SkyrimSE.exe is located. This can be found through Steam by right-clicking on the title in your library and going to "Properties". For Skyrim Special Edition, the default path on PC is C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition. Copy the files from the Wrapper version into this folder, not the data folder.

The ENB preset[]

You have now installed the ENB program itself. To make it work, you'll also need an ENB. Look up the one you'd like to install. Quite a few can be found on the Skyrim Nexus. When you've found one to your liking, download the file and extract the archive as well. Generally, you'll have to just copy the ENB files from the archive you just extracted and copy it to your Skyrim root folder as well. This is not the same for every ENB, so make sure you read through the guide that the author of the ENB preset has written for you.

Other help[]

A few files should be backed up before adding or changing an ENB. These are the SkyrimPrefs.ini and the Skyrim.ini, as well as your savegames. There are many video tutorials available on Youtube, such as this one.
