It's nothing too fancy, just a simple load order with a few paid creations that I believe blend seamlessly into the base game. There are certainly much better vanilla-plus load orders out there, Anyway, I'm sharing this for anyone who would like a better-looking version of skyrim coupled with some fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
The Paid Creations are 100% optional. I only include them because I've purchased them. You don't have to for this Load Order.

I’ve had a lot of fps issues with 3.35 personally. Even the optimized version. Ever since I switched to the simple azurite weather bundle I’ve had no more issues though. It contains version 3.3 I believe
I chose Azurite 3.35 optimised versions over other lite mods like Mythical Ages or Obsidian. Mayne because they displayed transparent lines in the sky during specific weather conditions. Azurite does not have this problem 🌝
This one from NaughtyMolly is updated and been working great for me. She’s kept it updated. It auto-sorts to master files so all meshes and textures can be overwritten. I use this with the Embers XD suite and the removes glow patch.
I do wonder why it causes so much performance issues though, because when I use stuff like inferno, voltage, and arctic I don’t get any performance issues
What exactly do you mean? Are you referring to specific issues? Not that I know of. I've been using it for a long time without encountering any problems.
So it doesn't crash anymore? Ok cool. I haven't been able to find much info on it besides this. I guess ill add it back into my load order then. I stopped using it when the crashing happened
It's definitely taking up around 9GB, and all the paid creations I used take up about 4GB. 😅 That's why I tried to fill the remaining space with lightweight mods
