I'm two months in and everyone still tells me my game looks like shit.
Probably because I don't wanna touch ENB since everyone reports at least a 10 fps drop.

This is my third attempt at modding up a decent game. It's a lot of learning and trial and error and most people won't offer much help because they'd rather gatekeep to make themselves feel special about their mod lists.
Some tips:
Load order is huge, always put XP32 at the bottom, careful about incompatibilities, ALWAYS read requirements on every single mod, read those requirements requirements, and the requirements requirements requirements etc. Load up your game after every single mod to make sure it's not breaking things.
