Help with graphical mods and LO - Building a Simple remaster w/ tiny tweaks
This week I put myself on the tortured path to modding Skyrim on PS5, mainly because I found it to be incredibly dumb modding Skyrim on PC. After seeing too many showcase videos to count, I've decided to ask for help from Gemini to work on a modlist, with all suggestions coming from it.
It turns out that Gemini is also dumb when it comes to modding - entering this forum I've realized that none of the modlists here have the mods I used for graphics, better A.I. or animations. On top of that, I've been experiencing some insane FPS drops in my playthrough.
I'm not just asking for the best mods for a nostalgia vanilla+ next-gen graphics playthrough. I genuinely feel I'm pretty close to a compact and efficient modlist for someone that just wants this nostalgia feeling with better graphics and an immersive gameplay.
So, without more explanation: Can someone please evaluate my modlist and pinpoint what I can change to achieve my goal? ANY feedback is valid.
Here's my load order - as Gemini suggested it to be:
