this will be a great help my computer is a medium high specs but you know i am always trying to make my games run better this will be a huge help fps over graphics is the way of old

dope mod

@The Sexy Heavy ... yeah, it's the 21st century, but tweaking is still a matter of trial and error. There's still enough difference between AMD and Nvidia cards, drivers, etc that folks on both sides of the fence have to test things to see if they help or hinder.

Really weird. This hurt performance on my AMD Radeon HD5450 The particles mod seemed to help, but the omnidirectional shadows hurt.

To get rid of all shadows you have to tweak the .ini files. I think the .ini tweaks on the collection page this mod is associated to has something for that.

Is there a mod to get rid of all shadows? Not just indoors.

The best mod for indoor no other mods needed went from 15 fps to 50 outstanding.

I didn't lag before, but I found this getting really annoying, it would make my wife's face all shaded and weird, because I run at low - medium, thank you.

@Death The Kid ... look at my "Performance & Optimization (Low End / Old Comps)" collection (link is above). It details .ini tweaks to turn off shadows. Beth has been slapping a new coat of paint on the aging Gamebryo engine each iteration of TES (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim). The pro is they can polish the engine a little, then focus more time on content and faster release. The con is the underlying engine isn't optimized for some of the stuff they shoe-horn in. Most of the whiz-bang features are just handled with brute hardware instead of an elegant engine. Since Zenimax has both Beth (good IP) and Id (good game engines), hopefully they'll team up on the next TES game.

Is there a way to remove ALL shadows? After installing this mod i no longer lag in indoor locations like homes and places like that, but i still lag in outdoor areas, and it ruins/dungeons. Plus when ever i move, all the large shadows start flickering and going all over the place

@coldfoxxjoe ... this mod covers all lights, not just breezehome. Breezehome is just the example in the pics. If Honeyside uses any Shadow Omnidirectional or Shadow Hemisphere lights then they'll be regular Omnidirectional when this mod is going. Try going into Honeyside with the mod off, take a screenshot, then load the game again in the same place with the mod active and take another screenshot. You should be able to notice if there's a difference like in Breezehome.

This one is going to make a significant improvement for running the game on my old laptop. Thank you Team Vladof!

This is perfect! thank you and could you do a mod like this for Honeyside in riften ?

The problem is that every person may be different in which ones they want to use and which they don't. It's easy enough to merge mods in the construction kit (just load all the mods at once, then save them as 1 esp file). What's difficult is that many items I would normally consider clutter are now used in ways the Elder Scrolls games never did in teh past. EG: can't delete tankards, b/c they're used in drinking animations. Can't delete buckets, b/c they may be used by some reference in some cell for some specific reason. I experimented with fog removers and other things, but ultimately it comes down the game not being very optimized for PC.

I know these are meant as small tweaks, but you should consider making a "declutter overhaul" to boost fps. I use these and they actually do help.

Have you altered your shadow or light distances? It almost sounds like your light distance is set to 0, so it shuts off even when you're very close, thus letting shadowy darkness overtake it.

it left the floors all black except when there is lootable objects. leaves some of the floor around it

?

the floor has been removed..lol
