There are actually a few enhanced vanilla type texture packs for PC - Vanilla Remastered that I am currently using but also Project Clarity and Skyrim Realistic Overhaul for example.

For perks I'm just using Full Magic Scaling this time. But I think you mean Adamant and I'm pretty sure it is still available for PC!

I need to check it out!

Very nice! Is that Happy Little Trees? I used simply bigger trees on my last playthrough, this time I felt like playing with the vanilla scenery.

Yes the visuals are very close to vanilla, it is not visible in the picture but this is actually with upscaled vanilla textures - the mod's name is Vanilla Remastered. All in all I'm running some 200 mods - bug fixes, mesh fixes, some environmental mods like more birds, water lilies etc and some gameplay and qol tweaks but still meant to feel mostly like vanilla also in gameplay.

Yup! Imperial, heavy armor, 1H weapons, currently trying to focus on enchantment but getting distracted by restoration...

Wow, they look fantastic!

Skyrim again
