Subtle ENB - Immersive Wasteland Preset v0.9.3c  

Subtle ENB
Optimized for Immersive Gameplay and Performance
***Now w/ SweetFX Module for ENB (no Reshade required)***

Subtle ENB is optimized for gameplay and performance (not just for pretty screenshots). All effects were carefully configured to work smoothly in real-time and tested extensively to correct any distortions or aberrations that would distract from immersive gameplay. All effects were also optimized for performance as that is an integral part of an immersive gameplay experience. Therefore, you really need to try the preset yourself to experience all of its advantages. 

I have also chosen to complement and enhance the Vanilla color palette without altering it, believing that many have largely underestimated Beth's quality of work. After extensive in-game testing, I have found Vanilla's palette to be incredibly balanced and consistent, and this preset aims to demonstrate that.

1. SweetFX Module for ENB: All the FX without the performance loss of Reshade framework (Credit goes to woodbyte for the SweetFX Wrapper)
2. Removes Vanilla FO4's washed-out/white-film look without altering color balance
3. Darker Dark Tones without turning shadows black (makes nights darker)
4. Richer Midtones without oversaturating (such as in bright daylight)
5. Smooth Dynamic DOF without any focus popping or blurred text/HUD  ***focal point bug fixed
6. Subtle Luma Sharpening that does not distort skinny tree branches and grasses
7. Subtle Bloom Effect that waxes and wanes peaking at high noon to simulate bright sunlight, increasing lighting dynamics. Also applied to very bright lights. 
8. Configurable Border Effect for letterbox, pillarbox, or windowbox
9. Little to no loss in FPS (Approx. 0-5fps loss)

Installation Instructions

1. Download Fallout4 ENBSeries v0.291
2. Inside the ENB archive is a folder called "Wrapper Version." From that folder, copy "d3d11.dll" and "d3dcompiler_46e.dll" into your base Fallout 4 folder, where Fallout4.exe is located (e.g., "steamapps\common\Fallout 4\")
3. Download the latest version of Subtle ENB Preset (manual download only)
4. Copy all the contents of the Subtle ENB archive (files and folder) to your base Fallout 4 folder, overwriting all files if necessary. This process should add a folder called "enbseries" inside your Fallout 4 folder such as: "steamapps\common\Fallout 4\enbseries".

(Optional) Configuring "enblocal.ini" to your computer's available memory
ENB Series includes a feature that forces Fallout 4 to use all of the physical memory available on your computer (both system memory and video memory), often referred to as "ENBoost." After installing Subtle ENB, please follow the steps below to configure Subtle ENB's "ENBoost" to your computer's configuration:

1. Download VRAM Size Test Tool from ENBSeries website
2. Unzip the archive and run the VRamSizeDX11.exe
3. *** Due to limitations in the tool, please first make sure that the number it reports is below your physical ram + vram (If you have 8GB of system memory and 4GB of video memory, it should report less than 12GB total available). If it reports more, then ignoring the tool's results and manually calculate by taking your total available physical memory and subtracting 3-4GB for base processes such as Windows OS, etc. For example, if you have 12GB total available, then I'd consider 8-9GB as being available.
4. Open "enblocal.ini" in your Fallout 4 folder.
5. Under [Memory], change "ForceVideoMemorySize=False" to "ForceVideoMemorySize=True" (without quotes)
6. Under [Memory], configure "VideoMemorySizeMb=" to your total available physical memory calculated in Step 3. 1 GB = 1000, so if you have 8GB available then the line would say "VideoMemorySizeMb=8000" (without quotes).
