Skyrim VR Visual Noise Reduction Mod

SkyrimVR Visual Noise Reduction 1. 31

Recommended settings with this mod:

--SkyrimPrefs.ini--

fSkyCellRefFadeDistance=25000. 0000

fTreeLoadDistance=350000. 0000

fBlockMaximumDistance=350000. 0000

fBlockLevel1Distance=40000. 0000

fBlockLevel0Distance=40000. 0000

fSplitDistanceMult=1. 0000

bEnableFileSelection=1

--Skyrim.ini--

fNearDistance=13 - You must add this line to Skyrim.ini

Increasing the fNearDistance value higher than the default 5 will reduce Z fighting flickering seen most noticeably in mountainsides, however all objects handheld or otherwise will disappear when brought near your face.

Installation:

Drop the textures and meshes folders into the Steam\steamapps\common\SkyrimVR\Data folder. Use the recommended settings for your ini files.

Compatibility:

This mod is a rework of the LOD4 / LOD8 / LOD16 / LOD32 terrain and object meshes. It is comprised of a few meshes, textures and some recommended ini changes. It should play well with most other mods, but full compatibility is unknown to me.

Performance impact is minimal for myself.  There is a low quality performance friendly version of this mod at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16609?tab=files

There are many visually distracting elements present in the SkyrimVR Tamriel Overworld.  Z fighting flickering seen in mountainsides, flickering water, triangle creep at the periphery and render distance limitation anomalies are the 4 main offenders.

Triangle Creep:

At a distance of 40000+ units away, or around 250 yards+, there is creeping snow at the edges of my vision when I turn my head left and right. The snow gets higher than the trees at my periphery, and goes back down when I look back at said trees. It's as if snow is materializing in huge quantities out of thin air at the edges of my vision. The effect stays in my periphery moving along the mountainside as I turn my head. Everything in the center is normal. The effect is not just limited to snow, but snow and mountains are by far the worst offenders for this particular issue. Elevation and terrain steepness play a big role on how severe the triangle creep is.

Please see the VR example video https://youtu.be/Nrvjp2svBRs?t=10 to see triangle creep for yourself.

The goal of this mod is to increase VR immersion in the Tamriel Overworld by reducing visual noise caused by flic
