In vanilla Skyrim they are very low detail and the textures are badly optimized, so learning how to fix up the LODs will not only improve how the game looks, but actually net you even better performance depending on the settings that you use ( it frees up your vRAM). If you don’t know, LODs are basically those small objects you see in the distance while playing. I’ll also skip all the LOD generation stuff because that deserves its own guide as well. However, if you do have a monster GPU and you’d like to try one of them, here’s my ENB guide. I’m not going to talk about ENBs because on Skyrim SE their performance is horrible. If you notice any broken links or discontinued mods, leave a comment! ENBs & LODs
You just need to download appropriate mods between them. It’s the same for LE ( Legendary Edition). It opens in new tab so go ahead and click it. If you don’t know how to mod Skyrim, check out my beginner’s guide to modding Skyrim SE ( Special Edition). We can try and categorize them a bit too. I’ll give you the big ones and if anything else shows up later, you can find on Nexus yourself relatively easy. In this guide I’ll mention pretty much everything that I use in my full modded build.
There are hundreds, and even thousands of graphics mods out there. Making Skyrim look great is a big part of the modding game.
