Race41 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hey everyone! My PC specs are: Ryzen 5 1600AF 2X8GB NeoFORZA 3000MHz RAM XFX RX590 Fat Boy 8GB GPU Gigabyte A320M-S2H Motherboard And I wanted to have my first playthrough of Skyrim Special Edition with graphics and gameplay mods. I was sticking to SinitarGaming's guide when I got to the ENB part and decided to install the NVT ENB. I tried the highest quality and the normal quality version of the ENB and my FPS was unbelievably low for me. I got around 35-45 FPS around the Riverwood waterfall and forest despite not having a single graphics/texture mod installed except the ENB and I wonder if these values are as they should be for my rig. I also tried Imaginarium and Rudy ENB but the values didn't change. Is everything in order? P.S: I also monitored my GPU, RAM and CPU usage throughout the sessions and my GPU usage rarely even dropped under %90. My CPU usage was around %30 the whole time and the game was using around 8 gigs of RAM. Here is my mod list: Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch Better Harvesting (for Flora Respawn Fix) Blacksmith Forge Water Fix SE - USSEP Better MessageBox Controls v1_2 Better Dialogue Controls v1_2 Auto Hide Ammo 4.3.2 1st Person Candlelight Fix SkyUI_5_2_SE Flora Respawn Fix Fuz Ro D'oh (Part 1) Engine Fixes Smooth Sky Mesh 0_262 Better Jumping SE RaceMenu - RaceMenu Special Edition v0-4-16 Stay At System Page SkyUI SE - Flashing Savegames Fix Enchantment Reload Fix SE NetScriptFramework SkyrimSE v14 ScaleformTranslationPP WhoseQuestIsItAnyway ConsoleUtilSSE YesImSure Hearthfires Houses Building Fix Address Library for SKSE Plugins - All in one FixNotesForSkyUI SKSE64 2.0.17 and 2.0.19 SkyUI Config Tweak - Equipped Items On Top Bug Fixes SSE v2 GlowBeGoneSSE-Updated Alternate Conversation Camera Plus Skyrim_Paritlce_Patch_for_ENB-SSE Vivid Weathers - Definitive Edition ENB Helper SE 1.5 for SSE 1.5.97 Those are the mods that I have installed on my Skyrim plus the ENB.

Do you know any guide that good to fallow for a beginner? I have never followed a guide. I would play the game through as released and then decide what I wanted and research the available mods. You not only have to read the mod description, but also the comments. I have always skipped any mod that needed a lot of patches to make it compatible with other mods.

Do you know any guide that good to fallow for a beginner? Sinitar's guide is fine if you already know what you're doing. It's more of a compiled list of good mods rather than a comprehensive guide for beginners. It's what the controversy is about. He focuses more on making your game look good rather than making it stable. I have been modding since the day Skyrim launched, and this is my first time modding SSE. I waited a few years for Oldrim mods to get ported. I used his guide just for what's out there, but I found numerous issues with this guide and he's not very informative and it's not put together correctly. Mostly his "Choose one mod below" is fine, but then he'll have several sections that says Choose below...but not specify it should be only a single mod from that section and it could be incompatible. He also doesn't tell you about all the insane amount of patches needed for some mods to work. I had to write down a list of every mod that had a patch of what I knew I was going to install as I went along, then I went back at the end and installed those patches. He also never mentions that most SSE mods are ESL-ified already. Anyways, that's normal FPS for ENB. It's really hard on systems and I have had maybe four or five GPU upgrades since ENB was a thing for Skyrim and it has gotten better over time. On my RTX 2080 with Rudy's ENB I get around 45-60 FPS outdoors. On my 1660ti I get sometimes in the 30s in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
