Installed graphics mods but the game doesn't look right.
I've installed a few graphics mods on my copy of Skyrim, namely Flora Overhaul, Realistic Water, Realistic Lighting and SIMM, with Re-Engaged as ENB.

It certainly looks better, but there's a lot of pixelation around the edges as if AA wasn't on at all, and the screenshots I see using the same / similar mods often have a nice, smooth visual to it.

Any ideas?

Load order? Steam specs? Did you try tampering with the enb or are you just using it right out the gate?

Hey,

Load order is fine according to LOOT and I've installed the appropiate compatibility patches. Computer specs are fine, above recommended. ENB is set as-is apart from me adjusting the filtering quality for SSAO for performance, but the issue remains regardless.

I'd still like to see your specs to compare to what you are trying to run. Enbs can be very intensive.

Have you tried disabling anti-alaising for sse and force aa through your gpu?

Performance itself is fine. Literally just this issue with the picture quality being a little jagged on edges. The screenshots I see usually have this sort of, "bluriness" to it that makes them look very smooth.

And yeah, I have. No dice!

It could be the enb itself removes that blur. You'll either need to manually adjust the enb or find a similar preset to test.

alternatively you can try do a bit tinkering with the ingame enb menu

The ENB doesn't look like how it's supposed to, but it is working as there are changes and it's designed for the mods I've got installed.

Might be multiple passes of antialiasing--trying to use two different methods (SkyrimSE engine's Temporal method aka TAA, with a different type of sampling implementation through vcard-software) sounds like it would confuse the hell out of your system.

I'm not too sure if this is the problem but I'd check, and disable, any AA overwrite or enhancement your active Skyrim SE profile might have on in your NVidia/AMD card software.

And as I just said it could be the enb removing the smoothing. So Ya, you'll have to either live with it or work on it.
