Mods added as NON-Recommended*

  • Better Sorting (NOTE: Unfortunately, this is not compatible with "Vals Crafting Meltdown" mod. I'll include this eventually, if a compatibility addon will be available)
  • Monster Retex Packs (NOTE: I personally don't like most of the changes expecially the over-saturated colors. This is just my personal taste (on which this guide is mainly based), if you like the mod, use it!)

Mods REMOVED:

  • Realistic Magical Impacts (Replaced by "Deadly Spell Impacts")
  • Tree LODs With Shadows (Replaced by "Enhanced Distant Trees")

New/Updated mod NOTES (only the main changes, minor notes are too many to be listed):

  • Skyrim HD - 2K Textures -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: I strongly recommend use "Alternate Mountains" addon, looks much better even if older. Overwrite when prompted)

  • Realistic Water Textures -DETAILED INSTALLATION- (NOTE: I recommend to also use "Ocean and River Textures" and "Reduced Object Splashing" addons. NOTE2: Install AFTER "Skyrim HD", overwrite)
