You can take a look at ENBs, think of them as an advanced version of reshade. SMIM makes the meshes of the game better, making them high-poly-ish.

I would recommend Cabbage ENB or Rudy ENB.

And that's all that's needed to make sykrim look great for a first time playthrough?

Pick a weather mod, a lighting mod, Static Mesh Improvement Mod, and a general texture overhaul like Noble Skyrim or Skyland. That will give you a much better look to your game, and there are a number of very good options that don't have any prerequisites to install. Once you install mods, however, don't uninstall any mod with a .esm, .esp, or .esl file in your current playthrough. Start a new game if you uninstall a mod like that.

If you just want an all-in-one, try Skyrim 202X[www.nexusmods.com]. You'll need a decent gaming PC for that, though.

Or you could piece together other stuff. For example, for landscape you might look at the following:

• Atlantean Landscape[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Freak's Floral Fields[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Nature of the Wild Lands[www.nexusmods.com]

If you like the screenshots, you could install them all. However, these are rather high res textures, so they'd once again require a decent gaming PC.

So "Skyrim 202X" is a good AiO?

As many of us with extensive experience post whenever this question comes up, your best option is to play the game vanilla for at least a while, so you will at least know what the game looks like and have some idea of what you might want to change.
