Relation-backed claims

  • Truth ENB supports an optional runtime integration with SkyrimBridge
    SkyrimBridge is optional for the base optical suite and supplies celestial data used by the current procedural sky path.
  • Elder ENB supports an optional runtime integration with SkyrimBridge
    Elder ENB exposes optional SkyrimBridge interoperability. This does not make either project a dependency of the other.

How we know

The public README describes an SKSE plugin with live state domains, versioned ABI, record editing, asset pipelines, command channel, optional D3D11 rendering tier, 17 offline harnesses, and public builds with native replacements off by default.

Limitations and authorization boundaries

  • The public/default build excludes the native replacement suite.
  • The latest tag v3.0.0-rc.1 is a prerelease candidate, not a stable release.
  • In-game acceptance remains required for write-path and renderer-facing features.

Authorization boundary. Use only with the game, runtime, and asset rights required by their owners.
