Hiya!

 

So hopped on Skyrim after a (very) long break. I really haven't played it for a while. I'm amazed by how much you can do with this game. (especially when add mods to the equation.)

Anyway, i tried using installing SkyrimTuner's recommended mod list. (The mods that he/she listed in for you in order to make the game look like it does in his/her videos.) I felt like it went smooth but alas, i screwed up and CTDs galore. haha x/

 

I used to be able to follow this list just fine! But I'm not stupid, I noticed some of the mods listed weren't compatible with each other anymore, and uninstalled all of the mods using NMM. (That being said, i don't know what type of mods that require a clean Skyrim install and what does not. That's why i mostly use a clean install every time i screw up. That way, the chances of some old files screwing up my new game are smaller. Too bad i don't have a backup of the game and will need to download it again.)

 

There may be a few files left laying around that require proper uninstalls (non nmm uninstalls) in order to be completely deleted. Either way, this is my current modlist. I don't even have most of Skyrimtuners modlist installed but i still manage to drop down to about 20-30 fps in exterior areas. Sure, my fps couldn't have been too high back when i used to actively mod this game, but i remember using it properly about a year ago and i don't believe my fps could've been that bad. I even checked my specs, and according to SkyrimTuner, I'm supposed to be getting about 50-60 fps, and i don't even have all of the mods installed. Although, i don't have too much space on my SSD. (or C-drive. i dunno computer stuff.) Could that perhaps impact my fps?

 

 

I want to follow SkyrimTuner's mod list, but as i said, some of the mods are now incompatible with eachother. What do i do?

for the mods files put smim > elfx > skyrim hd > sfo> realistic water 2 > vivid landscapes > amidianborn caves. for the plugins, put elfx > alternate start > realistic waters very last at the end of your load order.

 

also, getting crash fixes and enboost might help with the ctd issues.

 

i've tried nmm and i wasn't a huge fan back then. if you're feeling adventurous you could give mod organizer a try. it installs every mod into a separate folder and creates a virtual data folder out of them. so you can rearrange, remove, whatever you want without any hassle.
