Skyrim: 8 Mods to greatly improve performance on a low end pc

This is a tutorial video for the original skyrim to greatly improve performance.
Before I added these mods I had major fps issues and lots of stuttering and in game lag.

When I made the video I was mistaken when I said the performance textures required the high res dlc, it states on the mod page they are standalone, but they don't cover everything so I use them on top of the dlc textures.

Taken from mod page:

"The mod is standalone, so you don't need the hi-res packs to run my textures. But, since mine are loose files, they will overwrite the same textures in the Bethesda hi-res packs if they are active. That way, you can still get the other textures that aren't covered by this mod."

It should be noted that even without the shadows in game you CAN install an enb to further enhance your visual quality, if you think your PC can handle it. If you do, I would recommend RUDY ENB

Rudy ENB for Vanilla Skyrim - NLVA - NLA - COT - URWL - ELFX and ENDERAL

For me it seems to be the most performance friendly enb.
