How do you install an enb?

[calebtalksrap]

I want to install an enb in Fallout 4 but all the tutorials seem to be outdated. I'm nut sure how to use resahde 3.0, any advice?

All ENB files usually go into the Fallout 4 GAME folder UNLESS otherwise specified by the creator of the preset. The best thing to do is simply READ the author's instructions. You wouldn't try to take apart a bomb without at least reading the manual, would you?

you have to go to the enb site and download the appropriate enb file. I think you have to download the base file and then the one that says fallout 4. It took me a good 2 or 3 hours to figure this out. I guess i had left my brain at work that day. There are Youtube videos that helped out.

Once you have downloaded the base enb file, you have to unzip it and drag the contents to the file where enb told you to drop it. I forget if it is the main Fallout 4 file, or the data file. Enb tells you where to drag it. Do as Enb says. Make sure there are actual files to transfer. For some reason i did the unzip wrong and had an enb without folders. There should be a lot in the enb folder after you unzip it.

once you get the enb working, getting the enb preset to go is quite easy: drag and drop as super said. It is worth the effort. You can really make Fallout 4 shine with a decent enb and a texture pack.

Dammit Vinnie, you've embarassed me to the point that I just GOTTA be more helpful, and I was having such a good time too XD. Thanks pal LOLZ.

Anyway, here goes.......................

Step 1. You gotta READ the author's instructions FIRST. 99.999999999% of the time he'll tell you what version of ENBSeries to get and even give you the link. The same goes for reshade.

Step 2. FOLLOW the author's instructions. You'll have to unzip whatever version of ENBSeries and Reshade you downloaded and drop them into the Fallout 4 GAME directory. This is located at............../Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout 4/. The AUTHOR will tell you EXACTLY what files you need so follow those instructions to the letter. A lot of times, you're not gonna need every file from ENBSeries and ReShade. Just take the ones he specifies and install them EXACTLY where he tells you to.

Step 3. Sometimes, you'll stutter a bit (I mean the game, not you) with an ENB installed. If you do, try putting these edits into your enblocal.ini file:

[MEMORY]
ForceVideoMemorySize=true <======= this stopped the stuttering in my own game
VideoMemorySizeMb=nnnnn <====== watch this video to calculate this number

Step 4. Marvel at the beautiful visuals that you are now seeing


And that's pretty much it.
