So I had to put 'Scent in the North' on a quick hold already, because
I succeeded in screwing up my Skyrim while trying out an ENB/SweetFX manager,
somehow during the deletion of a previous SweetFX profile something got deleted
that made the game only show low resolution textures. A futile driver update
later, I decided to bite the bullet and reinstall the game. This all was
probably to my own benefit as I probably had way too many graphic mods running
for my poor little laptop to handle anyway.
During reinstallation/re-modding I decided to pick 1k
instead of 2k textures wherever possible, also made the switch fron the Nexus
Mod Manager to Mod Organizer which is something I can recommend to everyone.
(Virtual profile you can switch between at a whim? Yes please.) I also decided
to follow the S.T.E.P guide together with the general tips on tesgeneral, which
ended up giving me a more stable and quicker game which looked just as good as
before. I was going to go back to the SweetFX, Realistic Lighting Overhaul and Pure
Weather setup I had before, but noticing that the performance impact between
those three and one of the more performance friendly ENBs’ was almost the same
I’ve decided to switch over to an ENB without lighting and weather altering
mods. Hopefully we can now get back to business.
What my Skyrim looked like before.
Using Real Sweet FX, Realistic Lighting Overhaul and Pure Weather.
What it looks like now.
Screenshot was taken with Stakado Cinemascope (Real). Though I've settled on using Stakado his Cinematic ENB.
