Hi guys ;D

Well after years tweaking Skyrim I'm really happy with my setup.

But now my goal is FPS stability.

After a lot of testings I'm now removing my beloved ETaC.

Do you guys have a FPS friendly alternative for it?

I know about http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71018/? with some beta holds

but so far is my only alternative and is still not finished.

I just need less empty holds.

I ran all of ETaC's texture through http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5755/? to downsize the textures to vanilla sizes (512-1024K). And I got rid of the vanilla high-res texture pack (because I am using many other mesh/texture replacers). Now I can run ETaC with no problems.

In fact I use DDSopt on all major mods now, like Immersive Armors, Immersive Weapons, SMIM, and any others that include textures of their own. Some modders get a bit carried away in providing high-res textures with their mods without providing alternatives lower res versions.
