KATANA ENB version 2.0

Brief description:

  • Install Tamriel version 5.0 climate.
  • Install the KATANA CoT plugin (included in the KATANA ENB archive on the Files page).
  • Install Enhanced Lights and FX and check the Enhancer box when installing. You want to use ELFXEnhancer.esp in your game.
  • The correct loading sequence is:

ClimatesOfTamriel.esm

ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp

ClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp

ELFXEnhancer.esp

KATANA CoT plugin.esp

Other mods can be placed between these, depending on how LOOT orders your load order, but the relative position of these must be maintained.

The in-game ENB GUI can be launched via shift + enter.

  • Delete any previous ENB files from the Skyrim root folder. It is highly recommended to use an ENB manager (such as ENB FXAA SWEETFX MANAGER AND REMOVER) to perform this operation. Make sure to delete all *previous ENB files.
  • Download and install the latest ENB binaries from enbdev. Open the Wrapper folder. Only install *d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe into the Skyrim root folder. As of the KATANA ENB release date, the latest ENB binary is v0.389.
  • Include enblocal.ini in the upload. I recommend you use it, edit it *according to your system* and preferences. For the value of VideoMemorySizeMb = run the DX9 version of vramsizetest and use the number it outputs. More information on ENB installation and editing enblocal.ini can be found in the excellent skyrimdmods ENB wiki

SMAA is optional, but will give you smooth edges, eliminating the pixelation on the edges of structures seen from a distance.

  • Select a color version. The default is realistic. If you want a different color version, copy effect.txt.ini to your installed enbseries folder and replace if asked.
  • KATANTA ENB comes with enableprepass and DoF. If you want to use DoF in your game, open the included Depth of Field folder, select High or Moderate and copy the .fx and/or .fx.ini files to the installed enbseries folder, then using the in-game ENB GUI (shift + enter), enable prepass and DoF. DoF can then be turned on/off using enableprepass in the GUI. Install like any normal module for ENB All-IN-One installation

Installation issues:

If you're familiar with using ENB and installing presets, you won't have any problems. However, sometimes newbies to ENB encounter various problems. If you have problems installing and using KATANA ENB

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
