Aphelion0 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hey everyone, Just a quick question about which of my mods are affecting performance. I could look this up by checking each mod page, but to be honest that seems like hard work when I could just ask y'all. I noticed my FPS while outdoors is running at roughly 30-45, and sometimes dips to 15. I'll list my mods below, and it would be great if someone could let me know which affect performance: Immersive MusicImmersive SoundsImmersive AnimationsOpen CitiesPumping IronSmoking Torches and CandlesImmersive Spells and LightFISSGrimy PluginSkyrim Community UncapperUnofficial PatchAlternate StartAuto Unequp AmmoCampfireConvenient HorsesDeadly DragonsFrostfallSouls to PerksOrdinatorRevenge of the EnemiesFollower Goes on a tripGuard Dialogue OverhaulImmersive CitizensImmersive PatrolsPopulated Lands Roads PathsUFOVarious Guard OutfitsaMidianBorn Book of Silence - Armors and CreaturesEnhanced Blood TexturesEnhanced NightEtheral AurorasEtheral CosmosNo More Blocky FacesReal CloudsRealistic Aspen TreesRealistic Water TwoSkygazer ConstellationsSkygazer MoonsSkyrim HD - Terrain Parallax TributeSkyTEST - Realistic Animals and PredatorsSMIMSuperior Rock TexturesTreesHDWatercolour for ENBQuality World MapDynavisionImmersive HUDMainMenuSkyUIImmersive ArmorsImmersive WeaponsSkyrim Weapon de-larpification projectCoT Weather PatchCoTFootprintsGet SnowyLanterns of SkyrimLightning during Thunder StormsMoon GlowRealistic Lighting OverhaulShooting StarsSplash of RainSupreme Storms for CoTThe Skyrim Distance OverhaulTrue StormsUnique Grasses and GroundcoversWet and ColdRealVision ENBSWIFT Loose Files (wtf is this?) I'm pretty sure the main players are the ENB, grasses and groundcovers and the distance overhaul. But any extra info or insight would be amazing. :) Thanks in advance,Mike PS: If anyone sees that list and thinks "omg why is/isn't he doing x" or something then feel free to say something! I'm not the most knowledgeable mod user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztedmongoloid Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 you answered your own question. What are your PC specs? I would drop open cities for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphelion0 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the reply. My specs are: Intel® Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHzAMD Radeon R9 200 / HD 7900 Series16 GB RAM Microsoft Windows 10 (build 14393), 64-bit Interesting you mention open cities. This was one of few I actually did check out on the author's page and he said it doesn't really affect performance (which confused me a little). Are there any other mods you'd recommend dropping to save a few FPS (aside from the ENB, groundcovers and distance overhaul - kinda desperate to keep them)? Am I right in thinking texture packs are almost impactless on a good system? Thanks again Edited October 29, 2016 by Aphelion0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 textures wouldn't exactly be impactless. unless you're hooking up to a tv or something i wouldn't think there'd be a huge difference between 2k and 4k textures anyway. also it shouldn't hurt quality much to use 1k normals.

Thanks for the wise words! I didn't know the difference was so little, but I'll bear it in mind. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
