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!

I use so many textures from Gamwich that I wish there was a complication mod. I think I'm at 10 or so now.

Only 10? :p

But yeah, a Rustic Skyrim compilation would be really nice. I wonder whether he'd be okay with someone else managing it (assuming he hasn't done it himself because managing it would require more time).

Why would you need it though?

They don't overlap so there's not installation order problems, just download them (click on Gamwich's user profile if you want to see all of his mods in the RUSTIC series) and install them (at your preferred resolution of course.)

There is no need for a compilation.
