Need help recovering fps

LOOT is included in Vortex. You need not run it independently.

In fact, afaik you should not run Loot independently when using Vortex as your mod manager (as a general rule... "true" experts may differs on that, idk, (but since they're true experts, they can do a lot of things regular folk generally can't do on their own),  since the LOOT used by MO2 players is slightly different than that used by Vortex, and using its results can cause issues with Vortex managed games.

Please provide a full mod list if possible, to aid readers in helping you. (complete picture, so to speak)

Additionally, does the FPS outdoors vary, depending on your viewing direction (up, down N, S, E W) and location, or is it consistently hovering at 30FPS everywhere? Does it change when in 1st person vs 3rd person? Does it change on any reproducible behavior, and if so, which?

Well I'll say that when im outdoors and there are no trees nearby (those added by Fabled Forest) I get just around 50 frames then when im in a forest again im at thirty frames. Also how do I run LOOT in vortex where is it?

LOOT is generally transparent to the user for Vortex folk, as it's handled in the background during the Deployment operation, and fwiw, at least in my experience, it's pretty good at assembling things in the proper order.

When it does have difficulties determining a particular load order (associated with some newly installed mod which causes some contention), it'll ask you to choose the order for the affected mod plugins. Even then, most times it will recommend a choice, and in general, using that recommendation is a safe bet. If there's still uncertainty (occasionally it can't recommend one o r the other, you'll have to sort it out using the associated mods' documentation, using your own intuition and the particular situation and what a given set of contending mods is offering.

Not sure what fabled forest is, (ie I have not used it and don't know it's extent of change) have you tried disabling that mod to see if it might be the cause? To do so,

1. Disable Fabled Forest in the mod tab
   - don't uninstall, just disable, and don't combine this with any other mod activity like adding another mod or removing another mod
2. Deploy
3. Run game, and check your outdoor FPS
4. if it is not that mod, reenable and re deploy.\
5.  if it IS that mod, check to see if there are any patches or other info at the mod's page (description, posts, and bugs sections) and/.or using a wide net search. (ie something like "fabled forest FPS slow problem patch bug" and decide how to move forward, either fixing, accepting its drain, or uninstalling, as the case may be. Again IFF it turns out to be that mod, otherwise you can likely remove that from the list of possible fps loss sources)

Again, for this test, do not simultaneously add or remove any other mods, and make sure just to disable the mod under test.
