All-in-one packagev1.9.1 · 83.4 MBWhat Community Shaders changes
Community Shaders provides a foundation for advanced Skyrim graphics effects. The official release includes core and all-in-one packages. Choose the package that fits your setup; the all-in-one option includes feature modules.
Screenshots show an author-configured modded setup, not a promise that the core plugin alone will reproduce every texture and effect. It is an alternative graphics setup to ENB, rather than an ENB preset.
