Looks like the sparkling trees was the bTreesReceiveShadows setting. Turning it off got rid of it from the looks of it. Not sure if this is how it is supposed to look though. https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829556706585/55D778CBD5FD70684304DB7D7C626AA74B3A1003/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829556708530/F797AE6BA4C8D45B57C63841EFDF019142B42E73/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829556709420/5BE2843285792E059F8C4FFA2E08DB4E6110942F/ EDIT: Pics with SFX/Without to show the distance a bit more. Not sure it's supposed to look like that. https://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx7/ironcrossger/TESVexe_DX9_20140819_062724_zps7d0ce6b2.png https://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx7/ironcrossger/TESVexe_DX9_20140819_062734_zps62b966e1.png https://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx7/ironcrossger/ScreenShot5_zpsf1978798.png https://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx7/ironcrossger/ScreenShot8_zps5b9d6f98.png https://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx7/ironcrossger/ScreenShot6_zps4e55cf03.png

Wow, ok. The grass still looks a bit weird, but not cartoony anymore at all. Plus the tree's also are not messed up anymore. Only other thing I did was move my bashed patch to the very end in Mod Organizer. Now I guess I'll have to go through each of the little changes in the ini and see which messed it up EDIT: I think I did the SFO ini tweak, I'll make sure to check it the second time I go through the ini files.

I mainly use the ENB files for ENBoost. The AA methods from SFX were pretty bad IMO, so I turned those off and am only using the in-game 8x MSAA. I followed pretty much all of the STEP guide, getting many of the extended mods (I skipped a few like Lanterns of Skyrim). The tree's are a bit annoying, but the thing that concerns me the most is the overall "bad" look. It's mainly the grass that I just feel looks terrible. Maybe it's more of an issue with certain locations. Those pictures are around Whiterun, and it looks pretty bad IMO compared to Riverwood. I did just make a quick video with OBS so I'll try to upload it to youtube and show it here. (Pretty big file, so might take a bit)

I'm not exactly sure how to explain this, but everything just seems to look wrong. The trees specifically look like they are sparkling, and the grass just looks cartoony(As does a lot). I use SweetFX, but it won't show in these shots since they are Steam screenshots, but that's actually better since I mostly tried to use SweetFX to cover up the issues(didn't really work). I'll add the images to the end of my post and I'll attach my modlist/load order. I use Mod Organizer. Basic PC specs are as follows: 3770K (4.5ghz), HD 7950 3gb, 8gb RAM, Windows 8.1 64bit, and everything installed on SSD's. https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553647411/052E8CABFF318373541A8835AA9D82A376FF8001/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553646525/14BF922BA46BFA544996B59F5D29BD7CDA9C0710/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553645702/6D88808B1C55A91F0484DFE6DAF073F6FC7B4E59/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553644034/091CFD35513B95E066BA2E8AAC52D37143901AEC/ https://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553642979/CC71ACBBA89F83605A5DE08D2F312AA4324A87C8/ https://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577904829553641178/32642DD051759FBD385E36B6F1F7E133D490CB28/ loadorder.txtmodlist.txtplugins.txt
