I've been playing LFS for a few weeks now, and I've decided that it's time to get stuck into using some addons, tweaking the graphics card settings, using high resolution skins, etc.

I'm not by any means mindless when it comes to computers, as I've worked in IT for some 13 years, and I'm currently employed as a Software Developer. However, I'm finding it difficult (and in turn, frustrating) to find out how to do these things with LFS

I've seen some screenshots on these very forums, and I've thought "I'll get LFS looking like that", but no amount of trawling through the plethora of threads tells me what I need to know.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of great threads that have great information in them, but most of those were created 2+ patches ago, and tailing towards the end of the threads, most people are saying things like "this doesn't work now" and "can someone tell me how to get this working" - and these tend to go unnoticed amongst the majority of posts boasting wonderful screenshots of working addons.

It would be great if there was a thread, something along the lines of "S2z: Essential Addon How-To", with simple "idiot proof" instructions, so that people like me (who haven't been using LFS for the past 3 years, don't have a PhD in modding and are assumed to know nothing at all about addons) can make their LFS look as good as everyone elses.

I'm sorry for rambling on, and I'm truly greatful for LFS having such a great official forum, but there is SO much information that is SO unstructured, it's very hard to dig out the information that people like me need to know.

Last paragraph now, I swear . Something like a thread with just:

Version: S2z
Addon: Bloom
Files to get: Link here.
What to do:

1. Put circle in square
   
2. push red button
   
3. Fold paper
   
4. Voila, you have a working Sailboat.
   

I hope this makes sense. Heck, I'll even help out, so long as I can find the information that I need

Cheers guys

I don't know if this thread is going to work, but anyway.

Here's my ENBSeries configuration
Warning: settings for high quality, not performance. Runs pretty good here, thought. Anyway I'm making a low-quality version now for better performance. I'll edit this message when I finish it.

Addon: ENBSeries (thanks Boris Vorontsov)
Version: Every version supported (Directx8 and also for Directx9 too)
How to Install:

Files: Download
What is it?
The ENBSeries is a mod that allows you to run Bloom, Occlusion, Motion blur and Depth of Field effects on LFS.

Please do not edit my files (just for your own use)
You can take ENBSeries default (editable files) on attachments. See Boris Vorontsov's Website for more information. This mod was originally created for GTA San Andreas. Configured for LFS by Velociround.
