DL: ONE MOUNTAIN – MESHES – All-in-one – FOMOD Installer.

Performance impact: Base Skyrim optimized prior to this could run on a toaster, but after this you’ll need at least a low tier modern machine.

Under optional mods: DL “High Definition DLC for ModOrganizer Users (Part 2 of 2- Extract me)” Install manually through MO.

DL “High Definition Base Game Textures For Everyone (Part 1 of 2)”.

Optional section includes mods to upgrade the graphics with a low impact on performance. The essential section will provide you with a an optimized HD vanilla Skyrim. Section VII: Companies & Enemiesīack to Intro | Section IV: Adjustments & Fixes

Interesting NPC’s | > Download Main File HERE Bash-> New Game to test out stability before you move on.

Stronger PC’s can use Dawn of Skyrim – Director’s Cut.

Switch to SuperLite if you experience slowdown

JK’s Cities – Lite and SuperLite OR Dawn of Skyrim – Director’s Cut.

DL main file and then install Lite version in MO.

Necessary only if you are using Purity and/or Relighting Skyrim.

Adding NPC’s can have the same effect but not as much of an impact. ETaC / JK’s / DoS town/city overhauls can be performance intensive so if you’re struggling from just updating the visuals, you should skip them. Regarding the mods below, I’ve only included below what I’ve found to work together. I wouldn’t attempt to install every single mod unless you are sure of what you’re doing. Optional recommendations are mods that are cool but some might be complex to install and run without a problem. The essential recommendations should change Skyrim enough to make a difference while leaving your game stable. Starting from this section on, nothing is truly necessary.
