MY LIST WILL NOT BE PUBLIC ANY TIME SOON - IF I DECIDE OTHERWISE WE'RE TALKING MORE THAN A YEAR AWAY IF SO - KEEP GETTING ASKED SO JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW - IN THE MIDDLE OF RELEASING ANOTHER MODPACK FOR A DIFFERENT GAME AND MAINTAINING 2 PACKS IS WAYY TOO MUCH WORK - WONT RULE IT OUT COMEPLETELY BUT NO CHANCE ANY TIME SOON

This is easily the best visuals I've ever achieved with Skyrim modding

Been super busy running Dyndolod the past few days (probably 20+ times) testing stuff swappping back and forth from Bottled Shaders to ENB and looking for the greatest visuals/performance combo. Finally found it. I'm getting 60fps most of the time with occasional drops to the 50s and 40s rarely but with almost zero ghosting. PureDark's Upscaler frame gen works probably 2-3x better than CS's Upscaling imo. Theres almost zero ghosting even in the 40s and it works insanely well

Still drops to the 40s sometimes in combat. Think my gpu is just too weak even tho its 16g its still on the weaker side. Even with Texture Downscaler Quality option I'm still using 12 gigs of vram which isn't too bad but I only use 2k textures so it seems a bit off. The Balanaced option makes everything too grainy and I'll settle for what I have in this video. Its good enough for now. I am SUPER happy with how visuals are in this video and how my list looks now. Only thing left to do is get a stronger GPU. I have done literally all optimization someone with 8 yrs modding experience can do. Probably gonna switch to a 5080 by end of yr. Already have most of the $ for it.

I edited Cabbage ENB slightly. Changed interior desaturation a bit and added the DOF effect from ESO-UI ENB so visuals are not 100% cabbage ENB but like 90%

I also added my own Reshade on top to simply enhance what cabbage already had there


Re-colored my UI bars to Nolvus colors (czu I like them). The values are my own. Closest I could get. I think they look identicle. They are not 100% Nolvus accurate. Just putting this in case anyone cares

If you want to do the same here are the codes I used:

Inside the Norden UI mod (or the UI mod you're using) in Mo2 go to MCM/Settings/Truehud.ini  - and copy and paste these over whats there

[Colors]
sHealthColor = 5a251e
sStaminaColor = FFFCFC
sMagickaColor = FAB566


Grass is Meadows of Lorwyn

Trees are Traverse the Ulvenwald Lite edition with the Fixes add-on

I'm using the Texture Downscaler mod and the "Quality" setting in the fomod. Link if you want it - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspeci...

Grass Cache is the only tool not run in this video. I do too much testing to use it right now. When I feel my list is closer to completion I'll run it
