ApocNizmith Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 What would you all consider the best visual to performance mods for Skyrim? A.K.A. The best visuals with the least amount of performance loss. I can and will play at 30fps, but 10-12fps is unacceptable, in the rift with some of the mods I use I am lucky to get 6fps if not crash outright. Need help! (Or a better pc, but help is cheaper, and being disabled probably wont be getting a new pc so...)
Oubliette Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Sweetfx presets over any ENB. Good looks, smoother shadows, no fps loss.
Shivala Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Does Sweetfx make shadows smooth? Didn't know that... Any links (I tried SweetFX a year ago) Can Sweetfx do Ambient Occlusion?
Moksha8088 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 The Imaginator, Ultra Realistic World Lighting and ELFX Legendary (leave off the weather, the enhancer and the hard-core modules). The Imaginator 2.0 is extremely customizable and you can enhance Skyrim to suit you. These three mods work well together. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13049/?http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13531/?http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27043/? Hope that helps.
ApocNizmith Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks guys, my skyrim is now looking good and doesn't completely kill my FPS while flying or in the rift, I did however download a mod that pretty much removes the falling leafs from the rift and reduces the falling pine needles in other areas . Got almost 20fps just from that alone!
Ellixy Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 You do have pretty much the best mods listed already, to enhance the looks without loosing on performance. I could only add a few more, in case you feel like trying to dabble further into what your PC can handle (and mods that I have been playing with for a -very- long time now, and I have had no trouble whatsoever. I even had a heavy ENB running at some point). Skyrim Flora mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/141/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D141%26preview%3D&pUp=1Something to make the 3D objects look a -lot- nicer/ realistic: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8655/?And tiny (but no less visually impressive, alongside the other mods) tweaks like: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9930/? Hope you get to enjoy the game as much as the visuals! :wink:
