Also implemented some recommendations from [https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/52iklx/skyrim_performance_guide_version_2_release/ Skyrim: Performance Guide (Version 2 Release!)] by Night_Thastus.

| #Installed the following mods to improvePerformance for my low end system. These mods will be placed at the end of the Landscaping mods installed later in the guide:
| |
| *[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64611/? Insignificant Object Remover] - Removes small rocks, some ugly plants/bushes and lots ofobjects underwater.
| |
| *[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6387/? Skyrim Performance PLUS] -Reduces the resolution of falling textures like snow/rain/leaves. Note: I did not install the Snow as it is not compatible with Vivid Weathers.<br>

| Notice: For Mods that reqire the BSA file be left in tact, I extracted the BSA into my Working Directory to Optimize the texture files and created a new Optimized Texture mod to place directly under the mod. I ignored any errors as I was only concerned with the texture files.<br />
