A lot of times darkening the lighting will result in certain things having incorrect light levels, like glowing water or grass. Even with a weather mod they're unrealistically bright, this can be sort of fixed with other mods like darker nights, but most of these cause other issues since Skyrim's engine was not designed to handle dark areas very well. The last thing that this fixes is Skyrim's nights. 6' or you can leave it alone and increase the sharpening value in the ENB settings. You can do this by pulling up the console and typing in 'TAA hf.

6 and don't alter Skyrim's TAA sharp setting. I would recommend setting Skyrim's TAA hf setting to something like.

I applied some simple sharpening using a sobel filter to make the image pop a bit more, this will increase the aliaising a bit so it's a bit of a trade off.

You can get more info about it and tone mapping in general here: or watch the full GDC talk here: . I've been using Uncharted 2's tone mapper on multiple projects for years and in my opinion it provides some of the best results and is performance friendly. I replaced Skyrim's tone mapper with the one used in Uncharted 2 which was developed by John Hable from Naughty Dog. Skyrim's tone mapper is pretty awful, highlights and black levels are completely blown out, saturation and coloring of highlights are also off. It fixes one of the most glaring issues in Skyrim's rendering pipeline, which is the tone mapper, it applies some sharpening, and makes nights realistically dark. It applies proper tonemapping to Skyrim VR, as well as tweaking light levels for increased realism. The shader code was written from scratch and optimized for VR, all processing is done in a single pass to minimize fps loss. The main goals of this ENB are realism, high performance, and visual fidelity.
