mods for 2k resolution

[Fearless Airlines]

I'm thinking about buying Skyrim SE. I'm interested at running it at 2k res.

What mods would be best for making it look as good as possible? I don'[t want to use a crazy amount of mods. Just the best ones.

I'd appreciate recommendations and advice. Thanks for your help.

Rule #1: There are no such things as "the best" mods. It's all subjective. One man's treasure is another man's useless junk.

1920x1080 is 2K resolution, unless you're talking about texture resolution? In that case, I'm pretty sure the vanilla textures are 2K x 2K and scale accordingly.

Note that not everything in the game can have 2K textures all the time, at least not without running a powerful system.

I think you can make your game look really lovely with just those 2 mods alone. I actually use performance version of all texture mods, including 1k instead of 2k. I think 1k is better than 2k because Skyrim is a bit blurry to begin with so not only do 1k textures match better with Skyrim overall, but you won't notice much difference between 1k and 2k and your computer will thank you.

Thanks for the info. I have a 2560x1440 monitor and an RTX 2080 XC Ultra gpu, i7 6700 and 16 gig of ram.

Thanks Qwesar, I'll look into those mods.

you sure that vanilla is 2k tex? If I recall right, SSE uses mostly 1k or stretched 1k textures.

as for the last paragraph, that's wrong. you probably confuse it with 4k tex resolution. and even then you should not have problems to run everything on 4k textures with a powerful enough card on Full HD or 2k resolution.

1920x1080 is just one of the 2K resolutions, to be precise. :-)
Sometimes people use the term 2K for 1440p resolutions, while that's actually 2,5K.
(It all has to do with the pixel count.)

But, whatever. For some graphic enhancements, I would also go for:
Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM[www.nexusmods.com] (and use available patches for other mods in use) and:
Enhanced textures detail (UV-tweaks)[www.nexusmods.com] (including available patches for other mods in use).

They are not required mods, I personally like the improvements they deliver. (Be it at 2K, 2,5K or 4K.)

I use most of the Rustic mods by Gamwich, especially clothing, windows, and ethereal cosmos. For armor, I have some Gamwich Rustic armors, some of FrankFamily's "Frankly HD" armors, and the rest use Cabal120's "Amidianborn Book of Silence". Frank and Gamwich have only a couple overlapping armors, so far, that you'll need to choose from, and the rest are separate.

I haven't gotten much into Noble Skyrim or the Static Mesh Improvement mod, simply because I'm on a low end PC, but what I've seen of them looks nice. I believe EpicNate, on youtube, has a video about using portions of multiple world textures, to create a very nice Skyrim.

I have tried 3d trees, 3d rocks, and blended roads. Looked great, but it was straining my poor computer to the limit, so had to make some cuts. If your PC can handle it, I think you'll be pleased with the look.
