This is by the same author as Draven Manor, Skyfall Estate and many other excellent player homes. His mods were available on consoles early on but apparently due to animosity from console gamers he pulled all his mods. Any further information would be great.
The thing is, mods are currently the same across both versions, so the two will look largely identical in that regard I believe. My understanding is ENB (through which godrays and a ton of other things can be done) doesn't work yet either, but I haven't been keeping up. But the things embedded in the new SE engine that can't be addressed through mods are very nice like water movement and lack of z-fighting.
I've had this a couple of times before but a restart of the game has luckily fixed it. I'm not sure it's a texture issue as missing textures will usually result in a purple placeholder, but I'd try the usual things that you probably already have like switching off your texture mods if using Mod Organizer on PC to try find the culprit, reinstalling them, changing load order, things like that. If that does not help, maybe it's a lighting problem instead and the grass is receiving no light at all, perhaps try disabling lighting mods to try and find the culprit?
Failing all that I guess reinstalling mods or reinstalling Skyrim is what you'd have to resort to.

Finally decided to install the Re-Engaged ENB and ReShade... Wow, I am done modding. I notice 0 performance hit and the game looks absolutely stunning!
I am going to continue to hang out in here though.
Also... DRAUGR!

Thank the lord for the Vampires Suck mod. As I never played Dawnstar for the original game I was confused as vampires kept attacking towns when I spawned in killing all of my merchant vendors. I wish I could toggle the DLC when you start a new game.

I'm trying, thanks!
I like it a lot but in all honesty I'm only using it until RLO sorts out their weathers module as it's lacking just a bit more than COT atm. The update reportedly adds a ton and, fingers crossed, should drop sometime before Christmas.
That totally sucks man. My condolences. I know that fear. I've been living with a sort of sword of Damocles over my head since I was 17. I had two bouts of hyper tachycardia where the first time my heart sped up to 340 bpm and the second it got to 380... Yeah, after they got it to stop, I remember going to the heart surgeon and he stared me straight in the eye and said, "Son, you have an extraordinarily strong heart, I've never seen a heart go this fast on someone who is still alive..." Huge wake up call for me as I hadn't been taking care of my body in terms of diet. Probably why I ended up marrying an aspiring herbalist and health and wellness instructor lol.
Anyway, I think we have the problem tracked down to the opiates that the hospital had me on. I apparently don't handle the withdraw very well at all. This might sound weird lol, (Warning about to get personal!) but after having
absolutely phenominal (and very careful due to the recent surgery and incisions) sex
The problem here, and why your post scares me a bit, is that they ran me through the ringer and did every test they could (except for the only one that can actually detect hyper tachycardia because that would require minor surgery) and they gave me a clean bill of health. They actually remarked at how healthy I was (besides the gall bladder which was a known issue with me) whenever they glanced at the results and the surgeon even said that he didn't know how I was so well put together and calm given that they hardly gave me any opiates this time (my request, just needed enough to stop the spasms) and that I should be in extreme pain given the condition of my gall bladder (I was). Anyhow, it's been hard getting them to check out my heart because they are convinced by the tests that I am perfectly healthy. But I know in my bones that there was something wrong a week ago when my heart suddenly started beating fast and very hard and my chest hurt afterward, I do not call the paramedics on a whim, especially me. The recent episodes each happened about 15 minutes after working out and the first time I was on the opiates for my gall bladder. I'm hoping it was just chemical (withdraw) and it was the opiates but I want to be sure so I am going to request a heart monitor from the cardiologist when I see him and am going to wait on working out or doing anything strenuous till then. Praying that he grants it and that if it happens again that they can catch it, see it and flipping believe me.
I am good for something!Here are some more that I have installed now,
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/5712421/?tb=mods&pUp=1
I have all of these installed accept for rustic mountains and you should too! Gamwichs' mods are pretty much an instant download. The only one I might uninstall is ethereal clouds because I started having fps issues but that might have been due to something else and I am investigating atm.

How do I fix the UI if I have a 21:9 monitor. I fixed the screen space by editing the .ini file and setting my resolution to 3440x1440 but the UI is still 16:9.
Edit: Lol I think that's the least of my worries. I just booted it up and started a game and I'm getting dips into the 1 digit FPS during the opening sequence, it will go from 70+ fps to literally 8 fps over and over. I have a GTX 1080, 64 GB Ram, and a Core i7 6850k. Is this game for real?

That's not normal nor widespread.

Here you go breh. It's what I use. Along with this one.
EDIT: As for your other problems, yeah, that's not normal. Try using my guide I posted a while back? Specifically the last section on tweaks and such. At least you know that those mods, if you follow the guide, shouldn't cause any issues like that as I had tested them thoroughly.
I'm working on doing some more testing atm to figure out what on earth is causing a weird oversaturated glow on some textures when lit by some sources of light so I might update the guide whenever I'm done with what I am using now. Thing is it's going to take a while because I am still following the same procedure as before but I have over 160+ mods installed atm and since I switched hard drives for Skyrim to a dedicated SSD I had to uninstall them all and will be installing and testing them one by one again...

Just a heads up for any Xbox modders looking for player homes. Author LD50365 has reuploaded some of their work.
For anyone unaware, these are some phenomenal mods and include Draven Manor, Skyfall Estate and, very cool, The Scarlett, a buildable and sailable ship.
On the off chance LD checks GAF, thanks a lot for bringing these to consoles!
Check em out!

I just got started on the Scarlett quest.. for some reason I was convinced you picked up the quest in Windhelm, so I spent like a day looking for the damn paper.. finally gave up and looked online and it's in Solitude (DOH).
I re-did all my mod layouts, mostly going off this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/5bbltx/xbox_138_mod_load_order/
Seems to have fixed most things, I had to put True Storms below RealLight-Weathers in order to get actual weather. Using Frostfall for the first time, and it's actually really cool. Disabled fast travel as well, making for a more more engaging game.
I've done 3 "live another life" starts, and they've all started me by Riften. I'm so done with the Thieves Guild quests.. but leveling up that stuff so early seems to really get things going.
Man, this game is a time sink, but so much fun. Mods are great!
SKYHUD IS OUT!
It improves on a lot of problems that the original UI has.

is it compatible with the "old version" SkyUI
Aside from adding active effect icons, SkyUI doesn't change the HUD.

Hey quick question, I've been playing on Xbox One and got curious to try out some mods, but saw that mods disable achievements. Is it possible to create a second character separate from my first and enable the mods there without screwing over my first character from being able to still get the achievements?
Also what are some good mods to try out with on Xbox One?

Any good all in 1 PC texture / graphics mod for interiors?
So many great landscape mods but once I want to mod interiors it seems everything is piecemeal. This mod only mods tables, this mod chairs, this other mod fruit etc..

SMIM is primarily a mesh mod it also has better textures for most interior stuff.

Summermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim was released!
It's the successor to the old Wintermyst and adds almost 100 new enchantments to the game. Must-have mod.

There is, there's plenty of them, I'm using a controller and have 8 hotkeys. Any mod in the old Skyrim that just changes the controlmap.txt file will work fine in the Special Edition. I mean this one should work fine.

When you make a save with mods enabled, the save is marked with an 'M' to indicate that it is a modded save and is ineligible for achievements. Only that save and saves made from that save will be marked with the 'M'; older saves and other characters' saves will be untouched until you load and save with mods enabled. As long as you make sure to disable mods before loading a clean and unmodded save, you can earn achievements just fine.

Are you using Open Cities? That mod causes a ton of errors... I don't use it and have 50+ mods, no crashes.
Yeah and I'm stuck with it since the game doesn't even load if I disable it.

You're not alone. While it's a novelty I'd recommend avoiding it in the future.
No to try and be helpful - try getting far, far away from any cities. I'd recommend a dungeon like Ustengrav or the like. Wait there for 28 (some swear it's 30-31) days. This resets most of your world state. Then try your luck saving, disabling, creating another save and then exiting the dungeon. Approach cities if you can.
This fix is heavily dependent on how far into the game you've progressed and how much you've interacted with cities individually. Cetrtainly not a guarantee but something to try before you scrap a save.
Best of luck!

About to load this up on XBox One, recommend me some mods please.
These are the ones I use without having any problems with framerates or crashes. What really helps is the load order, please look into that on youtube, here or the Skyrim forums, I cant remember the link right now but there are great recommendations. Load order fixes most mods alignment problems.
I also have some companions, armors, gameplay modifiers, buildings and extra areas like "elvenwood," added to my list but I recommend you choose the ones you like.
Hope it helps. Game on.

I don't get SkyHUD. I downloaded it, it told me it doesn't download any presets but if I want to theres a separate preset file. The present file doesn't work when you use NMM as it just says "error" when it downloads.
So I check further instructions on how to modify it manually and it says theres an .ini to modify in the SkyHUD folder. There isn't one. However there are some folders such as "hardcore" and "oblivion" which all have their own .ini but I have no idea how to select one to use in game.
Halp!

Graphically there are still two major ENB features that I can no longer live without and need in SSE before I move over:
1. Subsurface scattering - does wonders for character rendering.
2. Dynamic frost shader - absolutely a game changer for me.

Also gonna throw out an absolute endorsement for Inigo. Probably the most impressive well crafted character in any game ever?

Just got Skyrim SE the other day on a whim--I had Skyrim on the 360, but hadn't checked it out on the XBox yet. The mods are so worth it. I'm running Live Another Life right now, and just not having to go through that goddamned cart ride into Helgen again is worth the price of admission. There's also a mod that puts signposts at major intersections so you can tell where you're going without popping open the map every ten seconds. It's awesome.
Oh, and I'm running with the Sofia follower mod, and while she sometimes sounds like she was written by a twelve-year-old boy, she seems a lot more alive than the other followers. She'll actually notice and comment on what's going on around you, which is a huge improvement over the ten thousandth iteration of "I am sworn to carry your burdens" or whatever.
I'll probably go back and do a vanilla playthrough at some point just to get the achievements, but for now it's great being able to change some of the more annoying aspects of the game.

The game isnt the same without him
You'd need a follower mod like Amazing Follower Tweaks that raises the amount of followers you can have.

There are various mods that let you recruit more than one follower, yes.
I have Serana and Sophia. Hell I had Serana, Sophia, and that Snow Elf guy for a while, but he creeped me out so I let him go.
Are there any comprehensive mods like JK's Skyrim or Expanded Towns and Cities for SSE yet (or do some of those old ones work in SE?), that overhaul a bunch of places at once, or should I just install the JK's Whiterun/Riverwood?
I have a bunch of mods going now (51!) and it's still running good /knock on wood:
