Blocky shadows fix?

[Akesus]

So when ive played erlier at my old playtrough the shadows were fine, now i bough all the dlcs and started new playtrough, i completly wiped out the skyrim mods and install saturaion boost, enchaned blood textures and pure waters. Everything on ultra running smooth 62fps but the shadows are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, they are like minecraft blocky, looks so terrible, i cheked the perfsini files and all of the shadowmapresolutions were 4096 as the ultra are, i tried the fix where u change shadows to medium then change them in the ini files to 4096 agian still doesnt work. Any fix?

Shadows have always been this blocky, its just that you often don't notice it until your second playthrough.

The problem with shadows is that outside there is literally only one shadow map being cast over the whole scene.

The further the shadow view distance, the more stretched out and low quality the textures become (because it is literally strecthing out the shadow map).

You have to trade view distance for quality.

I found that settind shadow view distance to 3000 or 4000 as opposed to vanilla 8000 is the best balance between quality and distance.

There are other INI tweaks that can help improve shadows, just look them up.

Just lowered the wiev distance of shadow to 3000 from 8000 still looks exactly the same :/

There is a hguide here which should be able to help you understand the shadow systems a bit more and also tweak them:
