    Thank you for this video. I just began modding today and I am very particular about not changing the tone and feel of the game. There are some mods I've looked at that, while they are great looking, they change things rather than improve them.
    I actually like everything you showed in this video, and I already use that water mod. Only thing I disagree with is the fence. Yes, the SMIM fence looks great and real, but it completely changes it. I'd prefer it if the original thatching was kept, but it's a small sacrifice.

    or better yet it lets you fix that damn overblown face lighting when your character is facing the sun

    BLOOOOODY MAAASSSIVE !
    Made me laugh so much. 2020 and Gopher still doing "top Skyrim mods" :D.
    Man I cannot wait for TES 6 but on the other hand, super scared of Bethesda's quality atm. Starfield will be the test for that quality.

    ENB is super performance-heavy, but the particle light effect makes it super worth it. It’s ridiculous how impactful a little change like that can be to your immersion.
    One thing I wish ENB also did was add in better anti aliasing. I’ve noticed that shimmer is horrific when one has an ENB installed, even compared to vanilla Skyrim.

    Thanks for reminding me why I use all these mods. All 5 have become defaults, basics I add before even any gameplay changes.

    What some people may not realize - you dont need to look closely to chain or fence to see...perceive problems, many people would just feel it w\o realizing sometimes. Mods like better meshes fix such things, even if you dont look closely, its about overall experience, general perception of the game world.
    Me personally - I can play with lets say vanilla mountains, but cant play w\o darker night and denser forest mods, among other things ofc :)

    The ropes in smim is insane, like just the difference between vanilla and modded is crazy

    Gopher, as someone who has done everything to avoid using an ENB because I couldn't get used to the performance loss I got with any of them last time I tried using it (and setting up the options to my liking was going to take WAY too much time), so I have two requests, neither should be hard to answer in a quick response.
    1: Are you planning on posting your preset on the nexus? I would 100% install ENB and use your preset as it is exactly what I would be looking at recreating as my core.
    2: Are you still using lighting mods like ELFX or Relighting Skyrim? Or just the ENB? I know almost nothing about ENB so that's why I'm asking.

      @@gameroxi from what I read "The Truth" is a good enb, or at least the not super performance-needy light version of it, but I was just researching before I start playing skyrim for the first time and can't tell you how big of a difference it is to his, didn't play skyrim yet.

    there is a mod for weapon shapes that has become one of my must haves, much like SMIM, after using it the default weapons are just so wide and block vision. Does little for modded weapons if you use lots of those but it just makes things like swords more sword-like and less paddle-like.

    FYI Gopher recent versions of ENB also let you crank up textures' specularity, so you can now make both the environment and peope's skin and armor look wet when it rains (and imho it looks so good and immersive that it's 2nd big reason to use an ENB, right after particle lights).

    I love the guard armor mod. It makes it easier for you to distinguish guards from different holds, and I also have the imperial armor mod. Love seeing the roman looking imperial guards roaming solitude, matching their role as central govt army. Its majestic to look at. For stormcloaks, eh vanilla looks is good for them.

    Stuff like SMIM, although not super noticeable by itself, once you combine it with other texture mods and enb's, you will notice a lot more.
