📋 About This Mod
For an in-depth description you can see what a mod like this usually does--> link. In this case it would be impossible to do the same thing that Lightened Skyrim does with invisible objects so what the mod does is reduce the amount of clutter and less visible objects in a way that has no visual impact at all. You will say may how many fps you gain ;). This mod works for both JK's Whiterun and JK's Skyrim (only for the portion of Whiterun city). This mod use Base Object Swapper.

While I would love to, I haven't been able to try out all the mods that can be used with this JK mod. I honestly don't think there are any problems with anything considering the nature of the mod. In any case, you will let me know with your thousand combinations if there are any problems.
Install this like a plugin into YourSkyrimFolder/data.
