📋 About This Mod
Thanks to vurt for Skyrim Flora Overhaul. And for allowing me to share this optimization for your wonderful work
Caution: don't let the vurt chests be empty! I recommend leaving part of your gold with the donation button that he provides in his profile and/or in Skyrim Flora Overhaul. This increases vurt's health. More health = more probability that he will make us happy!

My configuration (summary):
Run SkyrimSELauncher.exe from your Skyrim Special Edition folder. Click Options, click Hight, Advanced and make sure 64-bit Render Targets is checked. And uncheck Snow Shader and Lens Flare.
Setting Antialiasing to TAA, un-check window mode.
Open your SkyrimPrefs.ini file from your Documents->My Games->Skyrim Special Edition directory, and set bTreesReceiveShadows=1, bShadowsOnGrass=1 (may need to add manually), and bDrawLandShadows=1.
Settings for enbseries.ini:

This is a texture optimization patch for Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE, reducing texture resolution to boost performance on low-end PCs. It requires the main mod and replaces files. With 415 endorsements and 9,726 downloads, it's a niche but proven fix for stutter and FPS drops.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested on a mid-range GTX 1650 Super, so you know it works on similar hardware.
- Solid track record with 415 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Drop-in replacement—no complex setup, just copy and overwrite.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with Skyrim Flora Overhaul 2.72D—if you have a different version, you're out of luck.
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not play nice with newer mods or game updates.
- Texture reduction means you'll lose some visual fidelity—trees and plants won't look as crisp.
This is for Skyrim SE players on older or budget GPUs who love the look of Skyrim Flora Overhaul but can't afford the FPS hit. If you're running a GTX 1650 Super or weaker and get stutter in forests, this is your fix. Skip it if you have a beefy rig and want maximum visual quality.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim Flora Overhaul 2.72D installed first, then just copy the files from this mod into your Data folder and let it overwrite.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this after the main mod and set it to overwrite—don't merge.
- Test in a dense forest area like Falkreath to see the FPS improvement before you commit.
