Just recently got neck deep into SkyrimVR again and switched from Vortex to MO2. I always thought it was so daunting, but it's so. damn. refreshing. Thing is, I'm not too keen on MGO's ~300GB footprint, and I've been messing around with Tahrovin/Grit, but ended up pulling select mods from both it and MGO, adding them into a list at the end of the FUS load order. I'm still testing a bunch and perfecting load order, and I've been running into some ILS issues on test saves (where I only add mods incrementally, not remove) and new games alike.

Question is, not that I want to scrap the FUS setup I've got going, but would there be any advantage to setting up MGO and paring down the stuff that's "too heavy"? I have a mid-high rig with the below specs, so even with VRAMr reducing the textures, it's still just a it too taxing on it all. Loads times are especially longer with all the pretty.

Thoughts or recommendations? I'm game for trying other packs too, though atm there are only 12 on Wabbajack, so not a ton of choice. I'd like to have variety and NSFW is fine too, and the one pack that stands out is Panda's Sovngarde, but I'm waiting for him to drop a big update soon (April-ish?)

Marking NSFW only because half of the packs are just that.
