I feel like such a noob because I am one.

[JoyfulJ]

Hi all, I am a noob so please forgib. I have been googling and googling and furthermore intensely googling about this in any of the phrases that I can possibly conjure up in my puny noob mind, but alas I come to no result that yields release from this problem.

So, I have modded my Skyrim LE according to guides. I've got my MO (Mod Organizer, specifically) set up, TESVEdit, LOOT and SKSE running through MO, and almost everything looks awesome and runs smoothly. Buuuut... :sleep: I have to stand at a certain distance from objects for the high resolution textures to become "visible". It's as if at any distance except for a very specific one (not too close, not too far away, but just right) the vanilla textures kind of take precedence over rendering, and this causes most of my screen to look, well, like vanilla Skyrim but with better colours. I don't know how to describe it so I recorded some video and grabbed some screenshots from it. When I get close to objects, high resolution textures kind of "fade into visibility" and replace plastic looking ones.

Here's a couple of screenshots to give you a sense of what I'm dealing with, rock formations as an example, but this happens with many other textures too, and mainly outdoors (trees, doors, houses, horses, et cetera):

I also attach printscreen of load order suggested by LOOT. I've tried putting Verdant at bottom, too, as recommended by its author, but I've experienced framedrops from this, for some reason. Is it really important that this plugin goes at the bottom of the load list, as in, can my computer break if I use LOOT recommended order instead? It's secondary, as this has no effect on the vanilla texture thing described above, but I thought I'd just mention it in the passing not to bloat the forums with multiple questions.

A little further information seeing as this could be helpful. I've used ENB VRAM detection executable and subtracted result accordingly for my OS.

My specs:

Intel i7-7700 3.60 GHz
8 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 1050
Windows 10


I've installed ENB Wrapper version for boost purposes as per recommended by STEP, I've edited ini's accordingly and disabled functions from my NVIDIA control panel regarding the 3D rendering settings.

I have now cleaned my save, but that did nothing (apart from the thing it did, of course, which was cleaning my save).

[WsElite]

for sake, tweak your skyrimprefs ini and ENB local ini first. i will send it to you by pm (my prefs and ini setting). we don't wanna to spamming this post with long word of ini files.

Any help is much appreciated! :dance: I feel like I'm playing a PS1 console version of Skyrim at the moment with these blocky, low-res objects everywhere XD

[WsElite]

yes i will help you as far as i can.
