ENB's dark long range LOD

You haven't downloaded this mod yet ENB's darker distant LOD makes the grass blend better with the distant landscape.

ENB's dark long range LOD

This is a LOD noise texture, size 4096x4096, that darkens the distant LOD to improve the blend between distant landscape and grass when using ENB. As most of you know, Skyrim Special Edition's ENB presets have a tendency to make grass darker, due to ENB's ambient occlusion or ImageBasedLighting settings being too aggressive, creating a height difference between the grass and the landscape.

This mod is intended for use by ENB users and should help to some extent, but can also be used by non-ENB users.

This has been tested under the following conditions and proven to significantly improve LOD/grass mixes when using ENB:

• Vanilla textures (Noble Skyrim Mod HD-2K or MystiriousDawn's HD Skyrim Overhaul also works)
• Verdant - Skygrass plug-in or enhanced landscape grass plug-in (no green plug-in)
• Aequinoctium + ENB (may work with other weather models and ENB presets, I couldn't test them all)

Since weather mods, grass mods, and texture mods have their own standards for grass/landscape mixes and brightness levels, I can't guarantee you that it will work with your mix of mods.

This mod simply darkens the distant landscape with a simple noise texture, whether it blends in better with the grass depends on your mix of mods.

compatibility:

It's just a noise texture, but some texture mods provide their own noise texture files, and if it looks good and blends with the grass when using ENB, that's fine, you don't need this mod. Otherwise install it after installing the texture mod.

PS: I don't know of any other similar mods for Skyrim Special Edition, so I hope I don't step on someone's toes if such a mod already exists.

Darker Distant LOD for ENB

This is a LOD noise texture with size of 4096x4096 that darkens the distant LOD in order to improve the blending between distant landscape and grass when using ENB. As most of you know, ENB presets for Skyrim Special Edition have a tendency to make the grass darker and that is caused by ENB's Ambient Occlusion or ImageBasedLighting having too aggressive settings, creating a high disparity between grass and landscape.

This mod is intended to be used by ENB users and should help, to an extent, but can be used by non-ENB users as well.

This has been tested under the following conditions and proven to greatly improve LOD/grass blending when using ENB:

• Vanilla textures (Noble Skyrim Mod HD-2K or MystiriousDawn's HD Skyrim Overhaul also work)
• Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin or Enhanced Landscapes grass plugin (without Green Field plugin)
• Aequinoctium + ENB (might work with other weather mods and ENB presets, I can't test them all)

Since weather mods, grass mods and texture mods have their own standards when it comes to grass/landscape blending and brightness levels and such, I can't assure you that it will work for your combination of mods.

This mod simply darkens distant landscape via a simple noise texture and whether it blends better with grass depends on your combination of mods.

Compatibility:

It's just a noise texture, but some texture mods provide their own noise texture file, if it looks good and blends with grass when using ENB, that's great, you don't need this mod. Otherwise install this after you installed your texture mod.

PS: I'm not aware of any other mods like this for Skyrim Special Edition so I hope I'm not stepping on someone's toes if such mod already exists.
