I found Riften was too much of a hit to FPS when standing just outside of town, so I left Riften HD textures out. I went with “lite” for towns and dungeons since I’ve added other high-resolution textures. Install the one you want second and overwrite, or do what I did and only install some of the HD 2K options, which are broken down into multiple files for easy pickings. Some of the texture replacers in these mods overlap. Updating the relatively low base HD Texture Pack is nice, too. Regular Edition is good for performance, and I like SFO 2.5b - No Grass. If you’re new to installing mods, see my intro post for an overview.įor nicer looking trees and plants, take a look at “ Skyrim Flora Overhaul” (SFO) to start with. All the mods I list here link to Nexusmods. When I went looking for mods, I started with the post, “ 15 mods that make Skyrim look beautiful” on IGN. I play at 2056 x 1440 resolution (1440p) so more pixels compared to 1080p affect my decisions on mods I add. Since ENB replaces anti-aliasing, go ahead and disable antialiasing (AA) and anisotropic filtering in Skyrim launcher options. In general, install new weather and landscape mods followed by lighting before installing and adjusting ENB. I wasn’t completely happy with any of the ENB preset choices so I’ll go over my adjustments. Besides my picks, I’ll share a few alternatives. Since this is a fantasy game, and I’m going for immersion, my goal leans towards a realistic look maintaining the fantasy feel. One could go very realistic, ultra-fantasy art visuals, or cartoon-ish even. This time we’ll look into improving the beauty for Skyrim. I covered environmental immersion in my previous post.
