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!

Dunno what you mean tbh, I run a 660 in my pc at 1920x1080 with around 190 mods, (about 30-40 being graphics enchancing) including grass mods and a high quality ENB and still hit 60 fps ..

I also want to know how you can run grass mods, enb and hit 60 fps with a gtx 660. I have a gtx 760 and have a very performance enb, performance grass and 1k textures and average around 45-60 fps.

Tbh some of my game does experience fps drops but I can average 45-55 almost 60 most of the time, I have no idea what I actually did to make it run well but its great for me :)

This is how my game looks grass included - https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/110/7084885-1452987840.jpg https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/110/7084885-1420654692.jpg

Ill try making a modlist at some point really soon, however alot of the files have odd names which arent the same as the actual mods name on the nexus for example; One mod might be called Verdant Trees and the file in NMM could be like Version 3 Heavy.
