The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Better Graphics Guide

Here is my graphics guide that improves graphics and performance even without mods:

Since the popping up grass annoyed me the whole time and it doesn't look nice at all, I took on the problem. Unfortunately there are only mods for grass types and density, but not one for distance. The engine apparently has only a limited range. Most mods only use a cull distance of 1-2. The maximum the engine can do is 3, and I have activated this. With further optimization I fixed the popping up of the grass. Besides, I increased some lods, the big buildings denied the engine. The trees also cast shadows now, and I've also optimized the normal shadows. Lod landscape partly significantly increased. Fixed tree and bushes (mesh) popping. Tree distance greatly increased in the distance, no more popping up. Particle density increased. That's it. To fast Mouse Speed fix contain.

Here the instructions:

Go to your folder: Name documents//My games/Skyrm Special edition.

Now copy the following and paste it into the skyrm (config) (only overwrite this part, leave the rest):
