Can I install Tamriel Rebuilt then ignore it to play vanilla?

I've played vanilla many times but I'm finally dipping my toe into installing mods. Maybe just some light graphics updates & immersion type things, I'm open to suggestions. Mostly I've heard a lot about Tamriel Rebuilt... but I'm curious if I can save it for later if I feel like it. It'll be my first new playthrough in 10 years so I absolutely want to hang out in Vvardenfell for a bit (I always do the Tribunal Pilgrimage first lol). Thank you, and three blessings.
