Newbie in Starfield, looking for suggestions on good visual and environment mods

Hello,

I know some have not been very fond of Starfield and Bethseda lately, but knowing how Skyrim and Fallout 4 started out I am betting on a hope overtime this will get the love from mod authors and Bethseda alike. For me I enjoy the sandbox/RPG experience in these games. 

I am new to Starfield but not to Bethesda games and mods. I am looking to start out small for now. I think have already downloaded most of the utilities needed and all StarUI mods. Now looking for suggestions on some current mods to improve visual graphics, weather and environments. I am able to run the game at all Ultra and High settings with 16x sampling at 120FPS with no issues, so performance is not a problem for my system. Looking for good quality.

Current system:

CPU AMD Ryzen9 5950x 16 core

RAM: 128GB DD4 at 3600

GPU: AMD Ryzen 7700XT 12GB DDR6

Windows 11. 

LG OLED monitor 240FPS 0.1 response. 

My modding skills are limited to use of Vortex, but i do understand how to adjust load order for Bethseda games such as Skyrim and Fallout4. I could do a little script editing but i am trying to stick with mods that the awesome authors have made it simple for a pure gamer like myself. Just need to know what to download and where to put it in the order. Thank you greatly in advance for any suggestions.

For graphics quality, a good realistic starting option imho :

 

Textures

Starfield HD Overhaul  https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/5124

 

Remove green filter

NAS - NATURAL and ATMOSPHERIC SPACE      https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/3649

NAS.R - NATURAL and ATMOSPHERIC SPACE RESHADE v0.1E     https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/3660?tab=description

 

Interior Lights

Enhanced Lights and FX https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/54

 

Exterior lights
Rabbit's Real Lights New Homestead
Rabbit's Real Lights Neon

Rabbit's Real Lights HopeTown
Rabbit's Real Lights Paradiso
Rabbit's Real Lights Akila City 
Rabbit's Real Lights Gagarin
Rabbit's Real Lights Cydonia
Rabbit's Real Lights Landing Pads

 

Weathers

Royal Weathers - An Immersive Starfield Climate Overhaul https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7946

 

100 fps vsync is sufficient for your brain and may preserve your gpu

thanks for the assist. I downloaded all except the NAS and NAS reshade. Only reason is a little too iffy on how to get it into folders with manual download since my directories are a little different than normal so did not want to mess up my ini and custom ini scripts too much. I went with Neutral Luts and Neutral Luts for Shattered space instead and also added EXE for special effects from fire, explosions, etc. I am working through load order now and testing. Once i have a good load order i will post what mods i ended up using along with the load order that worked best for me. My first test run just had Starfield HD overhaul, all of rabbit's lighting mods, royal weathers and  it was already making a huge difference in appearance. thanks again.
