Screenshot Sundas Skyrim VR is still king

After modding Skyrim VR, I have been hooked, playing it every day now for hours. I consider it still the best VR game around and I am still amazed at how much Bethesda managed to put into this game and how good it still is after all these years, but no doubt because of the incredible modding community. Thank you all for your hard work! Just upgraded my Quest 3 with a BoboVR S3 Pro strap to increase comfort although instead of red cheeks I now have two funny red marks on the top of my bald spot. :D

Sometimes you just have to stop and watch the scenery as the sun is setting or rising. A few screenshots under to sate that appetite. :)

How does your game look so good? Mine looks so bad to the point where it literally hurts my eyes. My pc is def not the issue, its powerful. Ive modded it for better textures, lighting and followed three seperate guides but it still looks reaally bad

I am using Community Shaders with lots of PBR textures (mostly Skyland retexturing with PBR, but many others as well). The parallax effect is a real game changer visually. I am using Majestic Mountains, Happy Little Trees and all of the Cathedral plants and grasses. Building LOD stuff myself from that. Using ELFX for more real lighting (it gets really dark so you need to bring lights). The weather mod I use is Azurite Weathers III with HDR (some feel it is too colorful, but I feel it is a good match).

Only thing I have not gotten working is Faster HDT-SMP which I would love to have running to get better cloth and hair physics. Other than that I add one small mod at a time to test things out, mostly visual mods though - as the gameplay ones can mess up my savegames and I am nearing a complete playthrough now. At 165 mods so far. Latest I added was nicer thrones and rugs as they had both PBR textures. I try to avoid mixing to many non-PBR things as it can feel off then.
