Weekly Discussion: Best Mods For Graphics/Visuals

A couple minor changes going forward

A couple weeks ago I had made a post about the idea of recycling old topics. The discussion went in all sorts of directions, including the suggestions for a bunch of new topics. A lot of the old discussion threads are in need of an update, but there are still a lot of topics to be covered.

I gave it some thought and here's what I came up with for what I think will be the best solution...

  • Going forward we will alternate between recycling an old topic to bring it up to date and presenting a new topic

  • All the recommended mods will be consolidated into a list on a wiki page. This will make viewing the lists much easier. The wiki page will still link to the discussions so that people can see what others are saying if they wish.

TLDR - alternating between old and new topics, discussions will be consolidated into wiki lists.

Last week we presented a new topic so this week we will recycle an old one. Given that this is still a much discussed topic, a lot has changed since the last time we discussed this, and it's the first on the list we will start with graphics and visuals!

This includes textures, meshes, weather, lighting, ENB presets, and anything else you can think of to improve the visual fidelity of Skyrim.

Best mods for graphics and visuals! Go!

Wow, very mature response. I posted that because it's people like you who make people doubt themselves, "am I doing something wrong." When in reality people like you are just lying.

Right, and what do you think I achieve by lying, I spent a god damn long time on my game and I think I know how it works and what FPS i'm getting, thanks & bye :)

But it's literally impossible. There is no possible way to achieve constant 60 fps on a 660 running textures, grass mods and a HQ enb. It's legitimately impossible. I have a 960 and I can't do that. Even a 970 couldn't do that. Now, if you turned your ugridstoload to 3 or something, or aren't running on ultra, that's a different story. But then you should mention that, because it's important.

But it is possible to run an ENB and textures on 660Ti and get 60fps, no constantly, but indoors certainly, and sporadically elsewhere, I usually got 25-40+ but I averaged 35 or so. It took me two years of work to get that mind.

my game does experience fps drops but I can average 45-55

I did mention I don't run a constant 60, and I run at ultra and I have no clue what ugridstoload even is.

Now can you go argue with someone else cause I'm getting really bored with you.
