That helped me a lot! Thank you so much! I already had some Mods you mentioned and which should increase the performance (fe. eFPS and USSEP) and yes, it was better, but sometimes it was stuttering for a few seconds. Now I added some other mods you mentioned, f.e. recursion monitor, skyrim prio, skyrim landscape/water fixes, lightened skyrim and cleaned skyrim textures and OMG, no stuttering anymore. O.O Awesome! I just can recommend these mods to everyone.

Remove Useless Plants is another amazing mod. Like it says removes a bunch of plants that are not really noticeable and you can pick and choose by deletin the required Nif files which plants stay and which don't i haven't used all of them and gained a really noticeable boost in performance, since for example shrubs which are ugly are EVERYWHERE and hog a bunch of performance

This video is a godsend. Thanks you.

its insane how much of a difference this makes

amazing video mate

If after all this you are still experiencing stuttering and big frame drops when looking at certain directions, I would really recommend Cathedral Assets Optimizer. First backup your mods, then Open Cathedral Assets Optimizer and: 1) unselect Extract BSA 2) click Open Directory and select the root directory where your mods are installed so every mod will be affected. 3) on the texture tab select Compress Textures and Generate Mip Maps and click Run. 4) profit If still stuttery follow same procedure but in step 3 before clicking run, activate downsizing -> by ratio and leave 2 on height and width. This process can take a long time but will massively improve your performance and reduce frame fluctuation by a lot, especially if using a lot of 4k and 8k textures + enb + dyndolod. You will lose some quality of course but it will be barely noticeable, and the frames you will get back will be 100% worth. You can even backup your entire mod collection and try, if you don't like the results just roll back the changes by overwriting mods with backup. Sorry for the wall of text.

Great list! Thanks.

Thumbs up! This is actual great video for a change. Even though it has been over a year, and the title is a bit obscure. I wonder if there's an actual good video for vanilla users that explains absolutely essential (legitimately) )mods that are mandatory for vanilla users. As in meant only for fixing problems with the game and optimizing it. Without any unnecessary actual non-essentials like qol and other bloat. Most users and beginners only care about functionality, and perhaps graphics improvement in order to play the actual game as it was designed with exception of design flaws (such as glitches that devs have overlooked/ignored). I have not even played the game yet which has recently been installed and dormant, but getting closer to compiling a legitimate list for vanilla with only mandatory improvements on functionality and basic graphics.

I've tried BethINI and I was able to cap my fps to 144 from 60! Cheers!

gimme a dime for every time this guy says increased performance lol. great video. About to test it and hope for the best

Wonderful Job!!!!

Shadow boost would do more for you if you didnt use beth ini since beth ini already lowers shadow render distance and quality to a more logical amount more then likely shadow boost isnt doing much at that point.

Hey man great video. Mind telling me what's your performance like with the rtx 3070? What res do u play on also?

I appreciate your videos very much! Could you make one about making animals and creatures better?

this is helpful for me because technologically, I'm kind of an idiot. I'd just kind of accepted that my game would have lower FPS because I didn't know where to start for optimising performance while still letting it look good :)

It is worth noting that upscaler offers DLAA which will not let you play at lower resolution, but will dramatically improve graphical fidelity, works with ENB, and lets you turn off al vanilla AA. I do still see a small FPS boost when turning it on.

Hi the steam version is best and yes the downgraded version of AE to SE with the best of both worlds patch is the best for combat mods and mods in general imo

After installing about half of these, one did not work, and the other 10 or so made no noticeable difference. But, I'm running on Linux, using SteamTinkerLaunch to run Vortex, and Vortex to launch Skyrim.

Display tweaks always conflicts with ENB for me and causes weird blue and red tinted shadows. Haven't found a fix

Please note that the dlss/fsr/XeSS mod does not currently work as it needs an update.

Can anyone tell me exactly how to setup SSE display tweaks? Everytime I install it and no matter what settings I use it causes weird visual effects such as red and blue tinted overly bright Shadows and weird outline and bloomeffects on smoke in the main menu and in-game. I've tried it both with and without ENB and yet anytime I display tweaks it's significantly harms my game's visuals and I cannot figure out why. I've tried uncapping the framerate by other means but the same thing happens

This is the first "third person modlist" that I liked, looks great to play without the exaggerated shaky camera and effects from other modlists.

Any idea why modlist creators would want us to skip the BethINI step? They seem to think it's old and forces you to 60 fps, which the engine fixes should already have unlocked.

Anyone know what the fur armor is you are wearing in the beginning of this video ? Searched the comments but no one mentioned it.

*Hey Gents, I came here as a updater for the Skyrim Upscaler mod* For people that have been paying attention to the Mods updates a features, at first glance it looks awesome to have. You're getting 30 - 40 FPS Boost without sacrificing Graphics Quality, but trust me looks can be deceiving. As of right now and likely for a couple more weeks/months to come Upscaler does not work properly. The following results are possible if installed (regardless of correctly or incorrectly) Immediate CTD upon launch of the game Graphics Drivers Crash and CTD (Rare occurrence since your GPU stops it) Launch of the game, yet blackscreen or complete missing textures for the world. As what was stated above, It is not a good time to install this mod. So please. Spare yourself the confusion like many others before you and don't install it until further notice. *DON'T INSTALL IT RIGHT NOW*

The issue with USSEP is that they explicitly do not want to support older Skyrim versions, that for me have been the only way to get certain mods working.

My real problem is with water and weather events. I'm using Water for ENB and Obsidian Weathers with RudyENB. Since my machine is dated already, I wanted a good looking yet good performance enb. When I get to waterfalls between riverwood and whiterun my fps drops from 60 to +-30. It also happens in rain or snow storms (rain is worse than snow). Thanks for the video, I'm gonna test those. The essentials I alrady had, but let's see if the extras are going to help. Specially the one that helps with the papryus scripts, I'm already over 280 and 250 plugins, sometimes the scripts can... welp.

The unofficial patch is sorta a love hate thing for me: the author Arthmoor is an asshole for one, for two many of the changes that mod implements are not exactly “fixes” but things that Arthmoor wanted to be different, they don’t all objectively fix issues within the game. But it hasn’t done anything outrageously bad to my game, at least nothing I’ve noticed. The only reason I’ve installed it is because so many other mod authors have it as a requirement to install their mods. If I weren’t for that, I wouldn’t use it as I don’t use any of his other mods

I find when I'm in open areas the game will lag especially if I turn around fast. My FPS is high most of the time (144 indoors but varies outside).

I have stable (locked) 60 fps outdoors (RTX 3060 + i5 10400 16gb RAM 3600 mHz SSD 960 gb) with a lot of trees + grass + Silent Horizons ENB + some visual effects + weather mod + some additional NPC +cosmetic mods (for NPC too). But I still have some fps drops from 65 to 50 or even 40 while I'm looking at some directions. It happens in certain areas like when I'm standing in the fields near Whiterun and looking at the Khajiit camp or stables 🤔 In Fallout 4 I have installed heavier mods, and I have more fps there without any drops. So I think may be it's an engine problems, which can't be solved with mods? I don't think it's my pc problem 🤔

Do any of these work with Nolvus 5.2.5 Redux (i.e. the current version)? I downloaded it today but I'm only getting around 40 fps.

I was missing a few of these. I installed eFPS, Nvidia Reflex, Rec Monitor, and object remover. I already had most of the others which I feel are mandatory. It gave me 10 extra fps and seems very smooth and crisp. Using Rudy ENB on Ultra settings, with everything in 4k res. I have over 300 mods installed and it runs around 80 - 120fps. Very nice. After installing these I did have one new bug I have never seen before. I loaded into the Ragged Flagon and it had no walls. All you could see was night sky and stars. I restarted the game and loaded the same save and the problem was gone. I'm just wondering if it was Nvidia reflex support. Or something else that I'm missing entirely. Not a big deal since the restarting the game fixed it, because just reloading didn't. Could be just skyrim though, no idea. Long as it's not constant, I dont really mind. Edit: It was an ELFX Shadows bug that got a patch. The problem is no more.
