BOSS in not integrated.
It's a separate program.
I run it every time I install a new mod to make sure load order is correct.

Let me rephrase that.
You don't need it, but NMM recommends it.
NMM > Settings > Mod Options

This is evident from the fact that NMM needs to download the plugin order 'masterlist'.

That is correct. The masterlist is checked and updated when firing up NMM.
All I meant to say was, you need to run BOSS separately.

I'm now using the Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics Vision Mod, by far my favourite so far.

There is just one issue, I'd like to increase depth of field as much as possible as it blurs when moving. What's the easiest way to increase depth of field?

Lastly I have the dark/black water bug, tried everything & it still appears.

As for the shallow depth of field I will show you how it looks.

If I want the ENB effect I just take off my glasses and look across the room... same effect minus the eyeball bleed from the over-saturated bloom effects.

lol

enbeffectprepass.fx

Play with this:

Quote:

// Depth of field parameters
#define fFocusBias XXXXXXXXX // bigger values for nearsightedness, smaller for farsightedness (lens focal point distance)
#define fDofCutoff XXXXXXXXX // manages the smoothness of the DoF (bigger value results in wider depth of field)
#define fDofBias XXXXXXXXX // distance not taken into account in DoF (all closer then the distance is in focus)
#define fBlurScale XXXXXXXXX // governs image blur scale (the bigger value, the stronger blur)
#define fBlurCutoff XXXXXXXXX // bluring tolerance depending on the pixel and sample depth (smaller causes objects edges to be preserved)

I had a DOF config. for the girl's portraits but only for it, not for playing:

Thank you UNREAL_2004, will play about with the enbeffectprepass.fx

Skyrim Scaling Stopper - no more glass armor bandits! But makes the game a lot harder.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask something. If you refer to the last picture I posted, you will see an issue with the water. It appears black from the top.

What can I do to fix the water issue making it realistic when swimming below the water?

Check CPU use, you may be CPU limited.
It only needs one core to get near max and it holds the game up.

Thanks again. After putting all the DOF configuration to 1's it now looks far better & most of the environment is now in focus. Far away it's blurred which is what I wanted.

Still need to find a way to get rid of the ugly looking underwater problem. Need to make it realistic like in Crysis. Any ways of fixing the murky black underwater issue in the above picture?

I prefer the Posh Crab mod. Or the mod that turns the dragons into Randy Macho Man.
Oh Yeah!

While on the subject of mods, does anyone know of any mods to make this happen?
