Ill be honest I really wasn't expecting too much from the changes, but with just the essential mods (and especially faster hdt-smp) I now get an increase of ~25 frames, almost a consistant 60 fps in all areas of skyrim, I am grateful for your video.

@@isaacphillips4247 what you got in your rig? Got an trioZ 3080 and an ryzen 7 5600x and im at 557 active mods. Im running some 8K Mods and the rest is 4k textures even im playing on 1440p. I overhauled everything, from animations to birds in the sky. Over 300gB of Mods. I have 49-60fps stable. No crashes so far except when entering windhelm, thats because of JK‘s skyrim, so disable it before entering. 🥸
@@DripzEU823 I got a laptop holding i712700H and an RTX 3060. I would like to play around 60 frames on my 2K screen if possible. Also I'm very new to all this modding, if you could give me some recommendations based on which mods you believe will work best with each other that would be very insightful.
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
I’m 3/4 of the way through the video and I went from “I’m going to already have all of these” to “I have most of these but there are settings and mods I didn’t know about.” I bookmarked this to go over later . My current load order is frozen, where I’m only allowed to fix issues and not make any other changes. But after I’m sure the current one is good, I’m going to copy it to a new profile and make improvements for my next game. Thanks for making this video!
looking at Riverwood from the bridge with 2 extra followers wearin SMP including meyself went from 45 to 58 because i didnt have 2 mods in this vid. Ur a champion mate, cheers 🤙
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.
For AMD gpu users I highly recommend DXVK. It's a translation layer that converts directx to vulkan. I run Skyrim on RX 6600XT and I wasn't able to max out the gpu usage with only 30-40fps. Now I run smooth 60fps at almost all times. Nvidia and Intel users should probably notice a performance boost too, but I am not sure. Edit: see my comment below for instructions ;)
Bro just wanted to say your content is amazing. Noticed you've been having some bumps in subs recently (I'm certainly one) and definitely deserved. Looking forward to more of your videos and this channel blowing up!
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.
@@proxmitikgames I have been using it this way for quite some time and never had an issue, but if you want you can follow the exact same steps without opening it through your mod manager and get the same results.
The FPS increases are 0, but now all the textures of weapons and armor have turned into potatoes , I did not make a backup copy since there were 80gb mods I do not advise anyone to do this, only if you choose a certain mod for texture compression, BUT IN NO CASE DO NOT CHOOSE ALL MODS
@@ruslantamashin6359 Optimizing and compressing your textures should definitely not had such an impact on your textures. If they turned into potatoes after you downsized if because you are using 2k textures or less to start with, so this is not for you. This is for people with 4k+ textures that also use enb and dyndolod, it will not be a magical solution for very low end PCs. Sorry that you did not backup, you should always do so when modifying your mods.
I would actually like to suggest you don’t just show B roll footage unrelated to what your talking about. For example when talking about the upscaling, actually show it off and show before and after. Otherwise your channel could just be audio and the video is pointless
really really good video that shows a bunch of options from essential to optional mod fixes for those desperate in need. Best part; it just (actually) works.
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.
Appreciate huge work. I am sitting on mediocre setup like 5600xt and I realised that i spend loads of time on comparing every mod with fps difference. Like you know, every grass/textures/lighting mod compare. Have you ever considered creating a short list of "fps friendly" mods for graphics? Though game is old but mods can really burn stuff with budget pcs :D Cheers!
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 :)
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 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*
Hello for po3's tweaks, di you put the ini on the skyrim data/skse/plugins folder or just enabling it on an mo is fine? Or do I have to get the ini and put it on the mod folder's skse/plugins?

Hi man, love your stuff. I am new to modding Skyrim and I have a question. Are most new mods compatible with the downgraded Special Edition? Especially the combat mods. I am trying to choose a version but I don't know which one to pick? Special? Steam Anniversary? GOG?
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
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
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.
Which Version of "ENB Complex Grass - Patch Compendium for various grass mods" are u using? The Folkvangr for ENB Complex Grass version or? And nice Modlist :D
Hey bro, I've been having a problem with the SKESE mod for Skyrim Anniversary Edition. I don't know why but when I install it it says it's not running. Could you tell me if SKESE is still not updated to the latest version of skyrim? I already tried with all the downloadable versions of the SKESE page and I use Vortex as modmanager.
How do you make your game look so clean and natural? I'm constantly messing around changing between enb's and settings but never manage to make it look that good, there's always something off either with the colours and lighting
Is it normal that your riverwood looks like a forest because of northern roads ? I can see some origin of the forest plants, i have those mods too and i was wondering if its a bug.
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.
I will be honest with you. A mod list is often not based on the fact that you want to get too much out of it, but on how strong the specification of your machine is. What's under the hood more precisely. The size of the monitor doesn't really matter either, because if you still have an old 4:3 monitor, it won't be capable of 1440. Also, not to get the most out of the given mods. The SSE is only and exclusively optimized for 16:9-16:10, and as far as I know, there is no mod that can fix this 100%. This becomes a big problem when, say, you download monitor-specific mods. There are only wide screen mods for the game, so you will only suffer through the various repair packages, up to the mods that replace the loading screens. The total performance does not matter how much there is, the amount of ram, the amount of processor cores and clock speed. The amount of vram of the video card and its clock speed. I could list more. However, it is a fact that the mods you listed improve the game a lot. In my case, quite a lot. The base game is so broken (I mean SE and AE) that it refuses to produce 20fps in open spaces, the situation is obviously different indoors, but it's still confusing. I use most of the mods compressed into a separate package, and whenever I feel like installing the game, I also take these mods from my bookshelf. And overall, the performance improvement is huge. You can have an old computer, even 20 years old, it will be able to run the game with good performance and you don't have to make any compromises. That's all I know about this video topic.
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
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.
I have personally never played Skyrim before. I wanna try playing skyrim with mods to make it like perfect first time experience but i dont wanna go through the struggle of modding. is there some good modpack out there ?
Can someone please help me understand how to install "faster hdt-smp"? There are like 6 requirements but they also seem optional aside from NPC Crash Fix and XP32. Sorry I'm not even new to modding but this one is giving me a headache for sure.
For some reason I have sse display fixes but my frame are is still capped at 60 and I had a look at the ini file and it’s set to 144 which matches my monitor refreshrate, any idea why this is?
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.
Bro this video is insane I was getting like 27 fps in a forrest with alotta trees while using some 4k retextures and after installing these mods it went up to 35 with no visual difference
@SoftGamingOfficial ah drat, I am new to modding and don't have ENB. I'm contemplating if my laptop can handle it.. it only has a gtx 1650.. what do you think?Anyway, thank you for the guide!
@@SoftGamingOfficial oh okay, thanks for the quick replies. Can I ask what are your EBT settings? Do you have large too, yes? And in MCM, there’s a setting with 0.22%. Think it’s to do with critical hit large splatter. It says if you lower it, more large splatters can occur. Did you edit that?
This is weird. I use default graphics card on my pc. I get like 100+ frames playing tf2, so I think I have a good pc. I play Skyrim and it drops to 20 and below. I have a lot of mods… but that’s really weird. I run my game 1024 x 768. I’m thinking it’s because of how simplistic tf2 is… maybe because of the simplistic cartoony style it doesn’t have to render too many pixels? If I replace my textures and cell shade it or something will it fix itself? Currently I’m trying everything because I have a little time before spending $600 on a good graphics card. It’s kind of maddening how it’s the same kind of 3d environment but for some reason it’s so different. I’m gonna post an update on anything I found… hopefully I’ll help people with the same problem.
the only ones i dont use in the list are nvidia reflex, shadow boost and less vanilla trees. but i recommend at least using the first 9 mods in the list
Man help me out please. I installed a few of these and now wherever I walk, none of the object or npc assets are loaded. I get to a town and it can take 10 minutes for lods to disappear and the town to show up. I’m like 60 hours into trying to fix this and I haven’t progressed a single inch. There’s just nothing about this issue anywhere. DynDOLOD uninstalled as well as anything that touches occlusion. Just straight up broken and it was perfect before I got the idea to get some of these mods.
Hmm never seen that before. It could be the shadow boost mod as it touches load distances, try uninstalling that one. Also you shouldn't be uninstalling Dyndolod mid game
@@SoftGamingOfficial And I'm experienced enough to know to definitely do this on a new game haha. I fixed this exact problem with Cities of the North Falkreath a couple weeks ago and I fixed it by removing a duplicate patch that Nature of the Wild Lands came with. But I can't have two files trying to edit the whole world simultaneously now like that so idk.
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 🤔

Could you tell me if SKESE is still not updated to the latest version of skyrim? I already tried with all the downloadable versions of the SKESE page and I use Vortex as modmanager.
Yes SKSE is updated for the latest version of skyrim. Feel free to dm me kn discord if it's easier
@@SoftGamingOfficial sure, how can i found you in discord?
@@Unsek theres a link to my server in the description or my tag is Soft#5365
Papyrus is pronounced: puh-pie-rus…you know like the kind of paper the ancients used
Heh whoops! Thankyou Murray :')
Well the ancients didn't call it pa PYRE us, that's the anglicized pronunciation. He's saying it like Ancient Greeks would say it. Papeerus.
Oooooo grammar teacher
True. The Egyptians wrote on papyrus, for example.
@@mithras666 But he’s speaking English, soooo…
SSE Fixes hasn't been needed since shortly after an update for Engine Fixes came along. It supplanted it iirc.
Whats the lighting mod you're using here? looks really good
Great list! Thanks.
There is a beta version of the Upscaler mod, works great for me right now
what’s your enb and textures you’re using? that looks very good
How do you make your game look so clean and natural? I'm constantly messing around changing between enb's and settings but never manage to make it look that good, there's always something off either with the colours and lighting
Is it normal that your riverwood looks like a forest because of northern roads ? I can see some origin of the forest plants, i have those mods too and i was wondering if its a bug.
Hi, what ENB are you using ?
I know you have a graphic overhaul video but can you please explain how your game is look cartoonish what is the core mod or mods?
What is ENB and lighting mod for the light view at 8:25?
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.
Anyone know what the fur armor is you are wearing in the beginning of this video ? Searched the comments but no one mentioned it.
What are the rain, water, and plantation mods that you used in this video?
I will be honest with you. A mod list is often not based on the fact that you want to get too much out of it, but on how strong the specification of your machine is. What's under the hood more precisely. The size of the monitor doesn't really matter either, because if you still have an old 4:3 monitor, it won't be capable of 1440. Also, not to get the most out of the given mods.
The SSE is only and exclusively optimized for 16:9-16:10, and as far as I know, there is no mod that can fix this 100%. This becomes a big problem when, say, you download monitor-specific mods. There are only wide screen mods for the game, so you will only suffer through the various repair packages, up to the mods that replace the loading screens. The total performance does not matter how much there is, the amount of ram, the amount of processor cores and clock speed. The amount of vram of the video card and its clock speed.
I could list more. However, it is a fact that the mods you listed improve the game a lot. In my case, quite a lot. The base game is so broken (I mean SE and AE) that it refuses to produce 20fps in open spaces, the situation is obviously different indoors, but it's still confusing. I use most of the mods compressed into a separate package, and whenever I feel like installing the game, I also take these mods from my bookshelf. And overall, the performance improvement is huge. You can have an old computer, even 20 years old, it will be able to run the game with good performance and you don't have to make any compromises. That's all I know about this video topic.
May the gods bless you for your entire life, with much thanks Friend 🍻
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
Damn boi, what's the sword mod on ur back ? Its amazing !
from this weapon pack www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14316
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.
I have personally never played Skyrim before. I wanna try playing skyrim with mods to make it like perfect first time experience but i dont wanna go through the struggle of modding. is there some good modpack out there ?
Wabbajack and Nexus Collections are both decent
Can someone please help me understand how to install "faster hdt-smp"? There are like 6 requirements but they also seem optional aside from NPC Crash Fix and XP32. Sorry I'm not even new to modding but this one is giving me a headache for sure.
Please note that the dlss/fsr/XeSS mod does not currently work as it needs an update.
What was the armor mod that you were using in the video ?
Its from the complete BDO armor pack by Kirax
For some reason I have sse display fixes but my frame are is still capped at 60 and I had a look at the ini file and it’s set to 144 which matches my monitor refreshrate, any idea why this is?
It could be your ENB if you use one, you can disable it in the ENB menu
@@SoftGamingOfficial thanks mate, got it working now, its been driving me mad lol, keep up the great work I love ur vids!!
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.
Bro this video is insane I was getting like 27 fps in a forrest with alotta trees while using some 4k retextures and after installing these mods it went up to 35 with no visual difference
i recommend gras fps booster, my game became so smooth when i installed it :O i play on wildlander
why are the chickens so THICK, great vid i will definitely use these mods
Wonderful Job!!!!
What lighting you're using my Skyrim is dark
I appreciate your videos very much! Could you make one about making animals and creatures better?
do i have to install all mods or i pick one?
Which water mod are you using?? Looks so good
Water for ENB
@SoftGamingOfficial ah drat, I am new to modding and don't have ENB. I'm contemplating if my laptop can handle it.. it only has a gtx 1650.. what do you think?Anyway, thank you for the guide!
whats the Japanese armor mod you're using?
@softgaming Do you play in 1440 or 2160?
1440
your markal look awesome, what is that mod?
Display tweaks always conflicts with ENB for me and causes weird blue and red tinted shadows. Haven't found a fix
What blood texture are you using? Doesn't look like EBT?
Its EBT :D
@@SoftGamingOfficial do you have the Sanguine retexture? Cos' I have large blood splatter but yours looks bigger than mine.😅😅
@@clowningnight7457 i also use the more bloodshed mod, or you can use the enhanced blood effect optional file from the hunter essence mod
@@SoftGamingOfficial oh okay, thanks for the quick replies. Can I ask what are your EBT settings? Do you have large too, yes? And in MCM, there’s a setting with 0.22%. Think it’s to do with critical hit large splatter. It says if you lower it, more large splatters can occur. Did you edit that?
@@clowningnight7457 I cant remember now but I didn't edit anything in the MCM except for the screen blood
Can you make this like in a collection on Nexus mods, so I can just click and download everything that you suggested? Thanks in advance.
i am in the process of making a wabbajack list to download
Are most of these mods usable for modded Enderal?
can SS Engines & power of 3 tweaks be used together on Skyrim SE v.1.5.97?
yes you can
What's the animation mod your character uses at 3:35
This is weird. I use default graphics card on my pc. I get like 100+ frames playing tf2, so I think I have a good pc. I play Skyrim and it drops to 20 and below. I have a lot of mods… but that’s really weird. I run my game 1024 x 768. I’m thinking it’s because of how simplistic tf2 is… maybe because of the simplistic cartoony style it doesn’t have to render too many pixels? If I replace my textures and cell shade it or something will it fix itself? Currently I’m trying everything because I have a little time before spending $600 on a good graphics card. It’s kind of maddening how it’s the same kind of 3d environment but for some reason it’s so different. I’m gonna post an update on anything I found… hopefully I’ll help people with the same problem.
Do all the mods in thé vidéo work well together also how many fps i gain if i used all those mods i hope you answer ❤
the only ones i dont use in the list are nvidia reflex, shadow boost and less vanilla trees. but i recommend at least using the first 9 mods in the list
@@SoftGamingOfficial thx for respond, have great Day
Man help me out please. I installed a few of these and now wherever I walk, none of the object or npc assets are loaded. I get to a town and it can take 10 minutes for lods to disappear and the town to show up. I’m like 60 hours into trying to fix this and I haven’t progressed a single inch. There’s just nothing about this issue anywhere. DynDOLOD uninstalled as well as anything that touches occlusion. Just straight up broken and it was perfect before I got the idea to get some of these mods.
Hmm never seen that before. It could be the shadow boost mod as it touches load distances, try uninstalling that one. Also you shouldn't be uninstalling Dyndolod mid game
@@SoftGamingOfficial Can you think of any settings anywhere that modify how much memory Skyrim can use?
@@SoftGamingOfficial And I'm experienced enough to know to definitely do this on a new game haha. I fixed this exact problem with Cities of the North Falkreath a couple weeks ago and I fixed it by removing a duplicate patch that Nature of the Wild Lands came with. But I can't have two files trying to edit the whole world simultaneously now like that so idk.
Thanks brother
it will be good if u make nexus/vortex collection
Papyrus Tweaks isnt creating a .ini file for me. Is this happening to anyone else?
Hi there, my game crashes all the time. I can't play more than 5mn straight using those mods. Any idea how to make it work ?
It's the Upscaler
@@BannedAideSaved me. Lol thx
@@robinrobbinghood of course haha.
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 🤔
Same. Riverwood bridge, Dawnstar and Whiterun stables: 38/40fps.
