Yeah, with all the high-res textures and lots of script mods, it really takes over from the original Skyrim. The second photo is also tough to view, everything looks overly bright.
There isn’t a single PC capable of handling endless Skyrim modifications without significant slowdown. If speed falls so much, consider these factors: Physics adjustments often demand the SMP feature, which heavily taxes your CPU. The FasterSMP option can help by fine-tuning physics for distant objects or items, reducing impact on performance. ENB settings also play a role—experimenting with shader controls can reveal bottlenecks. Complex lighting effects, like NPCs with hair or clothing, further strain resources. ENB presets in Nexus offer many styles, but tweaking individual shaders can yield better results. ReShade’s RTGI shaders are powerful but tax heavy; using them sparingly preserves FPS. The Skyrim Upscaler is another tool, though it requires a Patreon and careful use to avoid crashes. Frame Generation via Lossless Scaling boosts performance up to 4x, but comes with a cost. Ultimately, even high-end systems need manual optimization—upgrading textures or adjusting settings can make a big difference. I’ve managed over 1000 mods on a 4080 and still see solid 60 FPS. For smoother play, prioritize essential tweaks rather than relying on every preset.
