[Skyrim SE] Unnatural Dark Shadows Everywhere (Need Help)

I don't fully understand what each individual ENBSeries setting does, but no matter the area, time of day, etc I have these dark shadows on everything. Does anyone know which setting(s) I can alter to reduce these shadows to something more subtle?

That's SSAO, screen space ambient occlusion.

First thing you should do is to disable the game's own SSAO, it's under [SSAO_GAME] in the in-game ENB pane.

Then if the shadows still look too dark, reduce AOIntensity under [SSAO_SSIL], that's ENB's own vastly superior AO/IL. Feel free to play with the other params as well until the shadows look good to you.

(I deleted your other post because it was a dupe.)

Sorry for the dupe, didn't know which board to post in.

Turned off the game's SSAO and everything looks great now. Thank you so much for the help! :D
