Transforming Skyrim's Visuals With Just 30 Mods | Showcase & Comparison
If you're like me you might have spent as much time modding your game as you have actually playing. So you probably know it can get exhausting trying to manage the hundreds of mods that pile up during testing, tweaking, etc. Maybe you're looking for a decent looking setup that doesn't require handling over 1000 mods. That's pretty much what I had in mind when creating this list. I wanted something light that can be built upon easily and still provides the "ultra modded" look.
This modlist covers just about everything visually except for NPCs, and nearly all of these mods can be swapped out in order to suit different tastes.
MODLIST:
I use ENB so this modlist is designed with that in mind. Parallax textures are being used.
