You should also install performance textures and overwrite the main mod’s files. There are other ones but they can be even more taxing on the system than this one.
Skyrim Flora Overhaul is my favorite environment mod. I also use True Storms but you need a patch for Vivid Weathers.Īll links open in new tabs so if you want to see exactly what a specific mod does, just click on it and read the description of the mod’s page.
I also use the hardcore option for ELFX because I love my dungeons dark and creepy in combination with high difficulty, audio overhauls, combat mods, new enemies etc. These two mods alone will overhaul the game’s atmosphere like crazy. Here I use Vivid Weathers Definitive Edition and Enhanced Lights & FX. You need to monitor vRAM consumption while playing to test this. So you want to get all the essentials up first, and then start re-texturing the game until you no longer can’t. Why? Because unless your GPU is monster-level, you don’t know if you’ll have enough vRAM to handle them all. Usually players always go for textures first, and while those are really important as well, I do those last. Probably the most important graphics mods that you can install. In vanilla Skyrim they are very low detail and the textures are badly optimized, so learning how to fix up the LODs will not only improve how the game looks, but actually net you even better performance depending on the settings that you use ( it frees up your vRAM). If you don’t know, LODs are basically those small objects you see in the distance while playing. I’ll also skip all the LOD generation stuff because that deserves its own guide as well. However, if you do have a monster GPU and you’d like to try one of them, here’s my ENB guide. I’m not going to talk about ENBs because on Skyrim SE their performance is horrible. If you notice any broken links or discontinued mods, leave a comment! ENBs & LODs You just need to download appropriate mods between them. It’s the same for LE ( Legendary Edition).
It opens in new tab so go ahead and click it. If you don’t know how to mod Skyrim, check out my beginner’s guide to modding Skyrim SE ( Special Edition). We can try and categorize them a bit too. I’ll give you the big ones and if anything else shows up later, you can find on Nexus yourself relatively easy. In this guide I’ll mention pretty much everything that I use in my full modded build. There are hundreds, and even thousands of graphics mods out there. Making Skyrim look great is a big part of the modding game.
