May 25, 2019  ENB vs. Reshade: What's the difference? - posted in Skyrim Special Edition Mod Talk: I am having trouble understanding the difference between a reshade and an ENB. Is one more performance friendly? Do they do different things to the game? Is one easier to install than the other? I have no idea. I would very much appreciate it if someone could let me know. Skyrim Special Edition brought advanced support for modding with 64-bit on PC, meaning players can load up more heavy mods with fewer issues and instability. For all the mods listed in this round.

The Elder Scrolls 5: SkyrimSpecial Edition is a remastered and enhanced version of the venerable Bethesda RPG that was released across consoles and PC on October 28th, 2016.

Enhancements and Additions[edit]

The Special Edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim provides players with a bunch of enhancements, tweaks, and features. Below is a list of new features that are found in the remastered version:

  • Remastered art and effects
  • Volumetric God Rays
  • Dynamic depth of field
  • Screen-space reflections
  • New snow shaders
  • New water shaders
  • Mod support for consoles*

Images from the announcement trailer showed gorgeous comparison shots of natural vistas between PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360/Xbox One, with new-generation hardware reflecting far greater details, sharpness, and a richer color palette.

Mod Support[edit]

Skyrim Mods Special Edition Xbox One

SkyrimSpecial Edition will support mods for Xbox and PS4. A teaser at the E3 2016 press conference revealed a mod interface similar in design to that deployed in Fallout 4's console mod edition, including push-button implementation and a star-based rating system.

After temporarily pulling support, Sony agreed to support mods in the PS4 Edition of Skyrim Special Edition - although Microsoft will allow external assets (user-created models that don't appear in the game) while Sony will not.

In addition, the Xbox One allows for up to 5GB of mods to be installed, while PS4 only allows for 1GB, although most mods that use no external assets fail to exceed over 1MB in size.

What Else Has Changed?[edit]

Beyond the new console mod support and graphical enhancements, Skyrim Special Edition will not include any new significant quest content DLC.

Free Availability for Steam Users[edit]

Steam users who own Skyrim and all of its DLC content incluidng Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn, (or the Legendary Edition) will be able to upgrade to the Special Edition for free!
