Thank you for the responses guys! Just the little bit of info you were able to share is helpful. I'll spend some more time researching on Reddit as they seem to have quite a bit of info on there. I'll keep the graphic mods to 2k and maybe even try the Wabbajack install just to see how it plays and then build from scratch after that. I wanted to ask here because I've had very little issues with 3 or 4 different STEP builds on oldrim and SE. Crazy how fast technology moves. I built this machine a year ago and it took like 4 months to even find that rx580 and had to pay over double what they were when they came out. I built a dual boot machine so needed 10gen and that card to work. Thank you for all that you guys do!

I finally caved and purchased an Oculus Quest 2 this week and was able to get it connected to my pc and purchased SkyrimVR. I'm finding all sorts of conflicting info on which mods to install and if one should or shouldn't use something like wabbajack. Is there a STEP guide or one in the works? Is there something similar that you would recommend? I've been sifting through info for hours and can't seem to find one that I want to dive into. Can a person use the STEP SE guide for the graphic improvements? I'm running an i7-10700k with 32gb of RAM and an rx580 8gb card. Is SkyrimVR much more taxing than regular Skyrim SE? Thanks in advance for any advice or answers!

Sweet, that was the issue. My BethINI wasn't pointing to the right ini so my edits weren't working in game. My snow looks great now. Thank you so much! Now to figure out this water seem...

Interesting...you are correct. When in game and using console, it shows 0 instead of 1 so it's pulling the settings from a different ini. Looking at my path from BethINI, it seems correct according to the instructions, ie. "For standalone users, the profile will be stored in the user's /AppData folder (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%/ModOrganizer/Skyrim Special Edition/profiles)" However, when more closely examining it, it appears I have another folder /ModOrganizer/Step SkyrimSE at the same level as Skyrim Special Edition. I will tinker with it and see if I can get it fixed tonight and will update here. Thanks again for your help! Not to hijack my own thread, but any idea why my water in Morthal would have an obvious seam down the middle of it with clear water and muddy water as in my screenshots above?

Thanks for the suggestion z929669. I've installed the mod and have tried it quick but I'm going to have to do some playing around to figure out what I'm looking at. Funny, I found another annoying bug while looking at the super bright snow in Morthal. Ugh..here I thought all I had was the bright snow issue, but now I see I have a water issue in Morthal. The first screenshot is more of the bright white blinding snow. The 2nd is the water... https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/images/123422 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/images/123421

Thank you for the response DoubleYou. I've confirmed that my benableProjecteUVDiffuseNormals is enabled with BethINI and I've attempted to replace projecteddiffuse.dds in the effects folder with different snow01.dds files from a couple different mods with no change. I could be replacing the wrong projecteddiffuse.dds file however. Should I be replacing this file in the Majestic Mountains effects folder? or the Better Dynamic Snow effects folder? Should I be copying the snow01.dds from Cathedral Lanscapes? Thanks for your attention and help!

First off, thanks for all the work you guys do! I've recently built a new pc and followed the guide to a T other than upping the graphics a bit and adding some armor mods. I can't figure out for the life of me why the snow covered roads, the snow covered ruins, some rocks, and some trees are so bright they are almost blinding. I searched through comments on the nexus for Majestic Mountains, Better Dynamic Snow, and Cathedral Landscapes trying to figure out what went wrong. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Here's an example of the roads, I can upload more screenshots if needed: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/images/123324
