It seemed rather blurry to me for ground textures at a certain distance, then again might need mods

Try it and see

Neil79 · 2 Nov 2016 at 14:55

Mod thread will be edited tonight

- thanks for the updates guys

Cheers for making this thread...any chance of changing the mod headings to something more readable than red? My old eyes find it hard to read red on a blue background. No worries if you can't

Sure, which colour would you prefer?

Neil79 · 2 Nov 2016 at 20:35

Mods added and colours changed

Verdant Grass has not been added as at this current time many are reporting issues with it during some parts of the game, large frame rate drops and clipping, even with ini edited.

Wild Main Menu Replacer

Really good to see this thread, Neil. It'll be my first port of call when I get home in a couple of weeks and try to get the game playable.

The time and effort is appreciated.

You're welcome, I don't update the other one as much anymore... It's pretty much a done thing and down to the gamer to install other mods :cool:

WATER - Water and Terrain Enhancement Redux

For anyone having big FPS drops even on good rigs with this mod (or a combination of this and Verdant's grass) should lower their Shadow Quality in the launcher to High instead of Ultra, it will just drop the shadow resolution from 4096 to 2048 but I gained 30FPS on my GTX 1060 6gb.

Was dropping to around 50FPS around Falkreath and Riverwood (with shadow distance on high), so went through all my settings trying to gain a few more FPS and with Shadow Quality on High I was back to around 80FPS.

Worth a shot?

Neil79 · 6 Nov 2016 at 20:19

Will be adding mods again tonight, the ones I've tested

edit: I've ctrl-f'ed the iVSyncPresentInterval setting in skyrimprefs.ini but it doesn't seem to be there.

It needs adding buddy

Is there a mod that ENB doesn't like? I recall it was a specific mod but can't remember which.
