The parts to put in the Game directory and the parts to put in the data directory. (Highlighted red in the image)ĮNBs are often divided into two different sections. Launch your game and if the ENB data appears in the top left corner as the game starts, it's installed correctly. Now you can enable the mod, this will allow Vortex to deploy it to the same folder as the game EXE. Mod Type: Change to ENB - this is required for Vortex to deploy this to the correct directory.Version: Add the version you installed.

Mod name: Change the name of the file to something more readable.

Next, back in the Vortex mods tab double click on the ENB mod, this will open the info sidebar. In this instance, we can remove the other two files in the root folder, then copy to contents of 'WrapperVersion' to the top level and finally, remove the 'WrapperVersion' folder itself. In this example, we'll be using the 'WrapperVersion' which is currently inside its own folder. In the Windows Explorer window that opened, we need to arrange the files so they are installed correctly by Vortex. In the Vortex mods tab, right-click the ENB mod and choose 'Open in File Manager'. This should make the ENB file appear as 'Never installed' in the mods table.Ĭlick the 'Never installed' button to install the file, but don't enable it yet. On the mods tab of Vortex, drag and drop the ZIP folder into the drop zone at the bottom of the page. Similar rules apply for other ENBs.ĭownload the relevant ENB binary from the website linked above, for example, 'enbseries_skyrim_v0349'. In some games, ENBs can also redistribute the graphics calls from the game to more effectively use your graphics card and take the strain off your other hardware.ĮNB binaries are developed by Boris Vorontsov and are available to download on his website.įor the purpose of this example, we will be installing ENB Binary v0.356 for Skyrim Special Edition. They are used to rebalance the colour pallet of games or add effects (such as 'god rays') that are not present or possible in the original engine.

While it is unclear what ENB actually stands for, ENB binaries are 3D graphical modifications which modify render functions in games and apply additional effects.
