Korten12 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) So I will admit, I love my graphics, and really want Skyrim to look really good. Sadly, despite me having a High-End Machine (pretty sure it is...) I can't seem to get Skyrim with my mods to look good and run good at the same time. Despite being able to play much prettier games at higher FPS. So... I just will ask one question... Could someone help me sort out all of these mods and possible give suggestions of what ones don't work, clash, or mods that are better with higher performance?

Georgiegril Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well you don't say what your computer is, but I'll take your word for the high-end thing (anything is higher end than mine, pretty much, sooo....) Mods that add grass and rain and shiny surfaces use a lot of graphics. Having duplicate mods like lush grass and more grass may be overkill. Have you tried just one? (You have similar issues with snow, etc.)Many texture mosd offer several levels of resolution. You may find that picking medium instead of high increases your performance with hardly any noticible quality reduction.You can also improve your performance by lowering your graphics settings in the game, or your driver settings interface, for example turning off AA in the game and running it through your driver instead. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
