That said, of them all, only EVT effectively balances true realism and beauty while also keeping true to the immersive original look found in the vanilla game.Ī great way to consider it is that this mod “enhances” the standard vanilla trees rather than overhauls them. Similar to the RWT mod, Enhanced Vanilla Trees (EVT) has plenty of worthy competition in the modding world. Compared to the standard vanilla version of the game (and even some of the other better-looking water mods out there), Realistic Water Two (RWT) amazingly stunning and makes water look like… well, water. Now, when you look at a door or a pillar or a rock on the ground, it won’t appear as if it’s part of something on the ground but something that exists in the real Skyrim world.Īrguably one of the best, if not best, mods for water in all of the Skryim modding community, Realistic Water Two looks gorgeous.
Arguably the foundation for which all these other mods will work, these three mods (USSEP, SMIM, and RCI) are realistically the first ones you should be getting, acting as the core basics for which all these other mods will build upon.Īn outstanding balance between photo imagery and realism, the Pfuscher Texture Mods significantly improves Skyrim’s minor day-to-day items throughout the world.
