NAT III settings
I suspect many will disagree but I honestly think NAT III is the single most important graphics mod available for Skyrim.
The thing is, it's not just another weather mod. It's the closest thing we're likely to ever get to an actual ENB on console.
There are certain mods I couldn't play the game without anymore. Ordinator is one. Lux is another. The great cities? All foundational mods for any list I build. But I'm not exaggerating when I say, I think you could just add NAT III to the vanilla game, and it would look incredible, just on its own. It's that transformational!
Now, I'm far from an expert on this matter, but anyway, the big problem with running NAT, is the configuration, which I suspect is putting a lot of people off.
So below ive listed my current settings using Simple workaround framework and Dynamic display settings. I don't currently use a separate night /Dawn/dusk setting. I personally like dark nights but you can easily alter that to your own personal tastes using Brightness/contrast/saturation changer. These settings probably represent the least amount of work necessary to get the game looking good.
The above pics are taken using these settings (with some minor caveats).
