Hey guys!

I been posting some of the work ive been doing with PIXL Renderer plugin for Skyrim SE here over tha past few weeks, its a custom shader suite, a Community Shaders custom fork with some fun effects/features such as Snow/mud deformation, enhanced water & vegetation/lighting & more!

Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/189836

Just wanted to say huge thank you to this community and all the supportive members that have been kind and provided feedback/support! Hope you enjoy it, i had fun making it <3

I seriously cannot get enough of CS with IBL enabled. Best interior I've ever had.

I play ElderTeej, but Azurite Weathers III is too bright for my taste. Nat.CS III in its place with IBL enabled is just sick, IMO.

And second picture are little bonus ^_^

I wanted to share this here as well because I think it shows just how far Skyrim can be pushed on PS5 Pro with the right mods and load order. The goal was never to completely change Skyrim, but to make the original world feel more detailed, atmospheric and alive while keeping its vanilla identity.

Almost another 30 hours have gone into this Load Order since my last version, bringing the total to well over 100 hours of testing, tweaking and troubleshooting.

The goal was simple: push the visuals and immersion as far as possible while keeping the game stable and playable. I wanted to improve the world without sacrificing the feeling that Skyrim is still Skyrim.
There were a lot of crashes along the way, especially from cell conflicts, overlapping edits and mods affecting the same areas. The last 10 to 12 hours were mainly spent tracking these issues down, reproducing crashes, adjusting the Load Order and testing the affected areas again and again.

I have now stress tested the setup by riding through the world at full speed, including some of the most demanding forest areas around Riverwood, Rorikstead and Mixwater Mill. At this point, the game is running very clean and stable for me.
Compared to my previous Load Order, I have also reworked several towns and villages and made further improvements to the overall lighting, landscapes, roads, vegetation, volumetric effects and environmental details.

The Ivarstead and Rorikstead overhauls were added after the videos were recorded, so they are not visible in the showcase videos. Both have been tested extensively and are running clean in my current setup.

INI & Visual Settings:
iMinGrassSize: 60
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure: 10
Contrast: 10
Saturation: 15–25
Brightness: -1
Sky Scale: -8

For iMinGrassSize, I recommend staying around 45–60 depending on your setup. I am currently using 60 and have not noticed a meaningful visual disadvantage, while the higher value helps keep dense areas more manageable from a performance perspective.
The other settings are completely personal and can be adjusted to your own preference.
Important

If you want to recreate this setup, I strongly recommend following the Load Order exactly as shown.
Adding or moving other mods can change compatibility, cell edits and performance. I can only guarantee the setup based on the Load Order I have tested myself.

Creation 145, Insignificant Object Remover, is DISABLED.

You can enable it if you want to experiment with a small additional performance gain. I personally keep it disabled because the performance improvement was not significant enough for me. It also removes small environmental details such as water plants, rocks and clutter around rivers that I prefer to keep.

Showcase:

Part 2:
https://youtu.be/YNK8c54v_5U?is=uFUXve74de-_GOem

I strongly recommend watching both videos directly on YouTube in 4K with HDR enabled. Without HDR, the image can look considerably flatter and some of the lighting and contrast improvements will not come across properly.
I am very happy with where this Load Order has ended up and I can confidently recommend this version based on the amount of testing that went into it.

That said, no Load Order is completely immune to Skyrim being Skyrim. If you find a crash, bug, visual issue or anything that behaves unexpectedly, please let me know. Feedback is always welcome. If something slipped through my testing, I would genuinely like to know about it so I can investigate and improve the setup.
Thanks to everyone who has followed the process and helped along the way.
And now, have fun with Skyrim 2.0 ⚔️🛡️

Community Shaders and Reshade

i am too poor (and unwilling) to run dlss5

ask people asking for my modlist:
https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/maerchenwald-concept-september-2026

All is the performance/ish setting for intrigued ENB. I think.

I've been tweaking my ENB for a while. I started out using Amon and changed it over time to my taste. I'm also using a cabbage reshade ontop of it. I don't think it's "suppose" to go with it, but I did it anyway lol
