So I recently started a new game and I think I created my best character so far!

It's also my first run in which I'm forcing myself not to play as a stealth archer, but a mix of sword and magic

Game version: The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim (Legendary Edition)
ENB: Patrician ENB v3.0

Some mods:

NAT III CS
Nature of the Wild lands - Nordic Cut
Community Shaders AIO Jiaye Build
Tomatorim Landscapes
Medieval Farmhouses II
Northern Vanilla Farmhouses
Ivy Riverwood Roofing

Here are some pics I took last night. Pretty sure only two of these can be deemed cold and cozy but whatever. I added a few more graphical improvements today so I'll get more flicks soon. I try to stay closer to vanilla Skyrim nowadays a posed to trying to make it look as realistic as possible or whatever.

Jiaye AIO CS Build 0529 Version & HT Community Shader Post-processing Preset & My personal reshade preset.

0% DLSS5, 0% AI, 0% post-processing on images after capturing (just simple cropped images).

waifu warning for the last image (but not NSFW), credit to LRO Scarlet UBE preset.

2100 mods, 100 hours of testing and patching.

Now it's time to actually beat Alduin.

Even a potato PC running Skyrim can give this kind of beauty *Skyrim LE without ENB or ReShade
