So, I went rogue tonight and spent 3 hours building an ENB setup. I had high hopes, but.......it did not work out. Talk about an FPS killer. |

Um, yeah. I've never gone there - because truthfully, I'm perfectly happy with Skyrim as it is OOB. I have talked to friends who've touted the benefits of various ENBs. Nah, not going there. |

I started to go with ENB once, but watching Sah made me change my mind. Like Sere, I really don't need it to be happy, and I definitely don't need the hassle or the drop in FPS, eh? :D |

Pretty much. I get consistent 55 - 60 FPS even with my current load order (lots of quest mods including LotD, and a fair number of tex mods - though not SMIM); couple of those friends had FPS "maxing" in the 30s - and were.... um.... high-fiving over it? Oy. |

FO4 I get a steady 40 to 60 FPS, SSE I get about 40 to 55, and SLE I get a pretty much dead on constant 60. I enjoy that, and I really think all of those are quite pretty enough as it is. |

Well, I can only speak to SLE - but I'm perfectly happy with it as I said OOB. There are certainly things I tweak with mods - game "look" ambience is NOT one of them. That was my first major turn-off with SSE - they.... went away from my lovely gloomy grey Skyrim.... |

Kane, I have used one ENB.. and it was a pretty simple one, but the FPS drop.. nah.. wasn't worth it.. so I switched to Imaginator with it I will use one of these preset's sometimes...Imaginator Presets "Bleak" is my favorite.. and the good thing about it is that it does not drop your FPS. Even if the bleak is to ...err bleak I can start with it and add a bit of brightness and color. |

Lol, yeah 30 FPS literally makes me motion sick. I used to be able to play in 30 FPS before I switched to PC, but after playing at near constant 60 FPS on my PC the past few years, I literally get motion sick switching back to the Xbox and playing at 30. Was playing Borderlands on the 360 last night and had to shut it off before I tossed my cookies. I can only play 30 FPS in small doses. I play classic Skyrim on PC with Climates of Tamriel and that is enough of a lighting overhaul for me. Plus, ENB really mucks up my paper map mod, so I really have no need for an FPS sucking ENB. |

Yeah, I'm definitely just sticking to my normal mods. I already have marked improvement with Verdant grass, compared to SSE. I used to get FPS drops in the woods with it but it's smoooooth in LE. |

I run CoT and True Storms with the CoT patch, and as Turija says, that's enough extra there for me. |

Kind of sad that JK's Skyrim and Open Cities don't play nice. Even with the patch mod for them, I got CTD's in Whiterun. |

I haven't used open cities in a while, but I know I had issues with it without true storms. |

I enjoyed it in SSE, but I'll deal without it. I'd much rather have the city detail. Everything is slowly coming along. LOOT, FNIS, XMPSE, and Dual Sheath are installed. Oh, and TES5Edit. I left out a lot of these steps with SSE, but I wanna do this right. |

I love the Mod Configuration Menu. So much easier to work with. |

What I like about the MCM is you can have different options for different characters since the MCM settings are saved in your save game. Oblivion has ini files that work a lot like an MCM except they can't be changed in game and their settings apply across all save games rather than being able to have different settings for each character. |

I love how everything is adjustable in certain mods, too. I spent probably 15 minutes adjusting things for minimalHUD. |

And holy crap does Immersive Creatures and SkyTEST ramp up the intensity. I died quickly (even on novice) when I came across a pack of wolves up in Haafingar. Two feral ice wolves, a regular wolf, and two wolf pups went nutso on me. |
