V.1.3 is here! ENB presets list added. Possible place at files of the month AND 500 ENDORSMENTS?! Thank yo uso much for your support guys! And don't forget to upload some screenthots ;) Please read "How to start/stability" and "FAQ" before start modding! About this guide: This is a result of monthes of modding Skyrim. Initially I wanted just to make m y mod list as people asked for this at my YT channel, but then I decided to put some more efforts into this and make a complete guide to save other people time that they can have a complete base list of mods for ultrarealistic graphics, kno wing how much these mods will affect on performance and in what order they shoul d install the mods. Skyrim have thousand of mods here at Nexus and there's very hard to check them all, but I spent some time and did this - from the 1st till t he last page (I'm not joking hehe) of all the graphic mods here and chosen almos t everything you need to transform your game and also to have some variants of s imilar mods to choose from. List of 250+ mods (but at the same time "quality abo ut quantity", including different variants to choose from) to install to make yo ur Skyrim graphics look nextgen and to leave as few ugly vanilla objects as poss ible. Install order, performance influence and patches list included. The mod list consists of two parts. Mods from the first part should be installed in strict install order. Mods from the second part can be actually installed in any isntall order, but to have the best result I kindly advise to install them in the same order as in the guide. Check the video to watch it. Also you can che ck the videos at the bottom of this page to see how the game looks with all thes e mods installed :) All the mods are marked with 3 colors. Green means this mod is pretty FPS-friendly, Yellow - it can affect performance, but still not an FPS -killer, and Red mods are really FPS-hungry. Please also note that this guide is still designed for modern rigs. I have GTX 980 4GB and 16GB RAM and running all these mods with ENB having 60 fps indoors and 40-55 outdoors. If you like this guide, please download the .zip archive with text version of it to leave an endo rsment :) Also feel free to suggest any mod you want to see in this list or ask me any compatibility or stability questions (I'm running Skyrim without any cras hes with about 300 mods installed) via comments section. Permissions: I don't give a permission to re-upload this to other sites by any other person, if you like this guide and want to share it please just add a link to this threa d instead or link the YT video. Guide features: Complete list of graphic, weather and accompanying mods, more than 250 in total. Landscapes, clutter, flora, weather & lighting, armors, clothing & weapons, tow ns & villages, animals & monsters, body, face & skin mods. Detailed installation order. Patches list for compatibility and my personal remarks for the best result. Each mod marked to show how much it will affect your performance. List of all basic things/tools/tweaks you need to start modding and have stable game. ENB installation guide + tweaks/fixes advices (in the end of guide). ======================================================================= ============================================== ================================== ========= ==================================== This guide in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-JYyFvZA4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-JYyFvZA4s Check my channel for latest and best mod spotlights, guides and hardcore playthr

Choose between Nexus Mod Manager http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager /? and Mod Organizer http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/?. Both of them a re awesome. I personally use NMM. Almost all mods can (and should) be installed via mod manager. The guide contains notices when you'll need to install some mod / part of mod manually. 2) Download and install SKSE http://skse.silverlock.org/. If you allready have i t - great, if no - install it. It's obligatory. SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) is must-have for playing modded Skyrim. Most of al l popular gameplay mods need it to be installed. Also, almost all memory/stabili ty tweaks and fixes require it. Install it to your Skyrim root directory (not th e data folder), where your TESV.exe is. Important! From this time, you should la unch and play your Skyrim only using SKSE.exe. Skyrim launcher will be used only for disabling/enabling mods (but this also can be done via mod manager). 3) Go to Speed and Stability Guide page http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/502 14/?. Download and install SKSE.ini from it's optional files (this can be done b y mod manager).
Important! Even if you will not use the ENB, you still need to install it. 4) Download and install LOOT https://loot.github.io/. LOOT is a must-have tool if you planning to have many mods. It's very easy to in stall and use. His most basic and important function is mod sorting. Many mods should be loaded in strict load order. This mod should be loaded before that mod, but after that , and so on. LOOT makes miracles! You can automatically sort all your mods prope rly by just clicking button 2 times. Sometimes (it happens rare, so mostly you w on't to think about it) some mods have direct instructions about how they should be loaded, in this case it's also easy to sort them manually using it. Also, LO OT shows you all you need to know about your mods instlalled - errors, missing r ecords, incompatibility etc. If something is not right - it will let you know an d it will advise you. Actually, you'll not need to read and lean more than this to use it, but if something is unclear or you want to look at very in-depth guid e, check this awesome Gopher's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw3g_N1jcZQ . Use LOOT sorting each time after you've installed a few mods. 5) Download TES5edit http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25859/?. It's an awesome tool for cleaning your mods. Mods may contain "dirty" records an d some other issues. And when you will have hundreds of mods, that could be a pr oblem and cause crashed. This step and tools usage are not obligatory, but stron gly recommended. Don't be afraid of it, it's not so hard to use as it may look. Check this one awesome video guide by Gopher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw3 g_N1jcZQ. Also there are a lot of info and videos at it's Nexus page. 6) Install SSME http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50305/?. SSME (Skyrim Startup Memory Editor) is a must-have and awesome tool for make Sky rim allocate more memory. The result is better performance and stability. You ne ed to install it manually. Download it, unzip and Place d3dx9_42.dll and ssme.in i in your root Skyrim folder where your TESV.exe is (not the Data subfolder). Re ad description on its page to make sure it's working. 7) Install Crash Fixes http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72725/?. It's new, constantly updated and just criminally underrated SKSE plugin! It's li ght-weight, one-click to install (using mod manager) and it really works great. You'll notice faster loading and zero or almost zero crashes if using SSMSE and this one. Install it for sure! 8) Read this article http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48387/?. This is not o bligatory, but it works and it's very useful. IMPORTANT! Use its settings only if you're 100% understand what you're doing. Me ssing with these values is not a joke. If you think you're something is unclear for you, don't use it. 9) Download Save game script cleaner http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52363/ ?. This is not obligatory. If you will not uninstall scripted mods in the middle of playthrough, you don't need it. It's just a save cleaner if your save is really near to dead cause of orphan scripts. Congrats, you're ready now. Let's begin! PART I: Before you start, download this little software:
DDS VIEWER http://ddsviewer.com/ It's a free, small and awesome tool that allows you to open .dss (texture) files just like any other images. Doing this, you can compare same textures from diff erent mods and decide which one to install. It's a must-have tool. ========= Important tip #1: during the installation process, overwrite all the files when you will be notified about this. There will be a few cases when you not need to overwrite some files or you need to install texture partially/manually, but I wi ll notify about it. Important tip #2: To install 200 mods and then launch your game is not a best id ea. I personally recommend to do in this way: install a few mods (let's say 2-4 if these mods are big, 5-10 if small), sort them with LOOT, launch your game, ch eck it's stable. Install 5 more and so on. Important tip #3: Don't use 4k textures untill you have 4k monitor with 4xSLI Ti tan videocards and you're not aiming for screenarchery (like shoting a bugs or l eaves). You won't see any difference between 4k and 2k textures until you come a bsolutely closely to them. 2k is perfect option for 1920 and even higher (2k) mo nitors. Using 4k you'll waste tonns of VRAM but won't notice this actually. Usin g 2k will save tonns of VRAM and you're still having beautiful textures. The onl y where you can install 4k textures are interior cells (caves/mines etc) as inte rior use much less VRAM and some underground creature retextures (Dwemer/Falmer) due to the same reasons.

It adds tonns of different insects to Skyr im making it look much more alive. Someone may like this, someone not. Also my personal opinion is that it boosts Alchemy too much as you can collect h undreds of ingredients per minutes and some of new potions from these ingredient s are a bit overpowered.

It is a project which aims to improve Skyrim's landscape with more objects. This includes floral objects, rocks, ruin clutter and a lot of other landscape asset s. This also aims to improve the distant appearance of mountains, cliffs and oth er rock formations. As it mostly adds objects, it's compatible with almost all t exture mods, there are only a few noticesfrom mod author (whic hare not critical though), read them at this mod page. It has smart installer with many options ( and resolution options, that's important) and there are also 2 version of it - r egular and winter edition. Note: this mod requires only one mod (which you've likely using if you're follow ing this guide :) ) - DynDOLOD for proper new LODs generation.

I have not included mods that are absolutely not lore-friendly. Also I have not included m ods that are really outdated (like last update in 2012). Important: such mods are mostly compatible, but as most of them change many NPCs , you can have situation when you want to install two mods, but they change some same NPCs. In this case, place the mod you like the most after. For example, you want to use MOD1 and MOD2. Both of them change Lydia. You like Lydia from MOD2. Place MOD2 after MOD1 to give him bigge priority and you're fin e :) Important: some of these mods may use USKP (previous unsupported version of Unof ficial Skyrim Legendary Edition patch) as master. These mods should be updated b y their authors, but it can also be done by yourself, take a look at first sticky post at USLEEP page http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/ mods/71214. As always, read it carefully and start to modify files only if you'r e understand what you're doing completely. In other case, just try to use anothe r mod - there are a lot of them :) Female overhaul mods: "Big" mods that change pretty big amount of NPCs: "Bijin" mods series You can install them all if you like. My personal favorite for these female NPCs . Also each of them comes many options during installation and some additional o ptional files for your convinience. Bijin Warmaidens: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40038 ==GREEN== Bijin Wives: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63473 ==GREEN== Bijin NPCs: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71054 ==GREEN== Fine, let's move. The Ordinary Women: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70547 ==GREEN== This mod change appearance of big amount of female NPCs (60)! If you don't want to look here and there for separate mods and save many .esp slots, try it for su re. NPCs of Dibella: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27427 ==GREEN== Noobshire NPCs: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75497 ==GREEN== This mod has an original view. Try it if you want to 24 of its females look a bi t older. Skyrim Beautiful Followers - SBF: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37861 ==G REEN== Note: this mod is not very lore-friendly. But I've included it to the list as it covers big amount of female followers and has good quality. Mods that change single NPC or a few:
Serana overhaul mods. Choose one: Seranaholic: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38326 ==GREEN== My personal favorite for Serana.

RS Children Patches http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55668 TK Children: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49756 ==GREEN== ================================================================================ ==================================== == HERE COMES THE ENB! == First of all, you need to understand that ENB is pretty FPS-hungry and as it int
erract with objects in game, ENB performance will depend s are installed. But ENB effects are totally worth their hing is weather/lighting mods compatibility. It will not ot see something really weird read the chosen ENB preset lly.
on how much texture mod price :) The one more t cause crashes, but to n page description carefu
Follow these steps to install ENB and make memory and settings tweaks'n'tricks f or stable game: 1) Turn off the effects that will be replaced by ENB. Open SKyrim launcher and turn off Antialiasing, Anisotropic Filtering, and FXAA. In your video driver, set the features from previous step and Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) to "Application-Controlled" (Nvidia) or "Use application settings" (AMD). 2) Download ENB core files here http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.html: Read your ENB preset description page and download the latest version if it supp orts it. If no, download the needed one. Place Copy d3d9.dll AND enbhost.exe fro m the wrapper folder to your Skyrim root folder, where your TESV.exe is (not the data folder!) 3) Open your Skyrimprefs.ini (with notepad for example). Make sure the following values at the [DISPLAY] section are exactly the same as below. If no - set them to this values, if they are not exist - just paste them there. Then save your Skyrimprefs.ini. bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 bTreesReceiveShadows=1 bDrawLandShadows=1 bShadowsOnGrass=1 iMultiSample=0 iMaxAnisotropy=1 bFXAAEnabled=0 4) Choose a ENB preset http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/searchresults/?src_c at=97 and place it files to your Skyrim root folder (the same where your TESV.ex e and ENB core files are). There are so many of them, beautiful and stunning! Yeah, if you're still not dec ied, it will be a hard task ;) My personal recommendation is to click on "last u pdated" option to sort the preset pages, as many of "most endorsed" presets are outdated. But of course it's up to you. Different presets have different types and amount of files, usually you need to install them manually, sometimes they have an installer. But I still recommend t o install any ENB preset files manually. Read the chosen ENB preset page attenti vely. 5) Download and install ENBoost http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38649/?. If you're using latest ENB, update it with the newest ENBoost fixes http://www.nex usmods.com/skyrim/mods/73618/?. In most of cases, you won't need to change many in enblocal.ini. You need to set the memory value in of VideoMemorySizeMb at the [MEMORY] tab according to your videocard. To make this task easier if you don't know your total amount of vide o memory (it's not the videocard memory actually), use this simple software http ://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm. Actually, almost every ENB preset contains it's own enblocal.ini files. But you
can keep your own enblocal.ini with any preset, the only thing you need to look is the ProxyLibrary value, you need to set it the same as in preset enblocal.ini . For overall guide about enblocal settings look here http://wiki.step-project.c om/Guide:ENBlocal_INI/Memory. ================================================================================ ==================================== == ENB PRESETS LIST == To choose an ENB preset is absolutely matter of taste. However, in this list I'v e included the most fresh presets that work with latest ENB binaries. Remember that ENB itself will eat some FPS almost at any rig. Sometimes it can c ost you 3-5 FPS (so we can say you have no performance loss) up to 15-20 FPS (th is can cause massive stutters and FPS drops). That's why I advise to install ENB after all the texture and other mods that can affect performance. If you see tha t you have let's say stable 60 FPS - you can run almost any ENB preset, even hun gry one and be sure that your game will be stable and you will not face noticable stutters and FPS drops. But if you have 40 FPS you'll need to think ab out the ENB - to install performance-friendly one, not to install ENB at all or maybe disable some texture mods to free some VRAM and then install the ENB. All presets are also markered with one of 3 colors so you'll be aware if this or that preset is an FPS-killer. And of course short description and weather/light ing mods compatibility tips. About the lighting mods compatibility: Many lighting mods also have their own we ather modules. Don't use these modules even if ENB is compatible with this light ing mod. Don't. Use. Lighting mods weather modules. Also, combination of Relight ing Skyrim + ELE Lite proved itself as having the best compatibility (more or le ss) with different ENB presets. So even it's not listed in lighting mods compati ble at ENB preset page, you can try this. This doesn't mean it will be 100% comp atible, but basicaly it will have better compatibility results. About DOF: most of ENBs has DOF (depth of field) enabled and tweaked for this pr eset. Some people like DOF, some don't like at all, but ENB DOF also can eat dec ent amount of FPS. If you find your preset DOF not good for you or need to have a few more FPS, do the following: 1) disable ENB DOF. Open enbseries.ini filem l ook at [EFFECT] section and change EnableDepthOfField=true to EnableDepthOfField =false. Save the file. 2) Optional: install Dynavision http://www.nexusmods.com/ skyrim/mods/12525. It's great mod for DOF and it has MCM menu so you can change it's type (static or dynamic) and strength ingame. So, here we go with ENB presets list.
