Modpack Installation Guide for Legendary Edition owners
This guide is designed to install this modpack with as little effort as possible. If all steps were followed correctly you should not have an issue starting the game. If you encounter a problem running Mod Organizer or Skyrim then it is strongly suggested you start over.
The Modpack can extract up to 60 -70 gigs of data and needs 7zip for extraction. (use "extract to" for error free operation)

Step by Step
After you have downloaded the Modpack (see forums) please follow the instructions below. To simplicity's sake, these instructions were created under the impression that Skyrim was installed on the X drive (X:\Skyrim). This allows you to just extract the modpack rather than reconfigure your ini's.
•Normal non-steam installation is recommended for maximum compatibility, no problems / no user error
Step 1: Create a new drive with the assigned letter "X" or SSD users can simply assign a drive the letter X:\
*Drive Requirement: 100GB or 102,400MB
Step 2: Install Skyrim legendary edition in X:\
*New folder path should be X:\Skyrim, if folder paths is not exactly "X:\Skyrim"pack will not function properly.
*Delete the 3 high resolution .bsa and 3 high resolution .esp if you have them in data folder.
Step 3: Copy/extract the contents of the pack in X:\Skyrim (use 7zip for error free operation)
Step 4: Set video settings from Nvidia Control Panel (Manage 3D Settings>Program Settings) or ATI equivalent for TESV.exe to the following:
Ambient Occlusion - OFF
Anisotropic Filtering - Application Controlled ( or 16x)
Antialiasing - Application Controlled
Antialiasing Transparency - OFF
Vsync - ON
*Pack should run fine with Win7 and Win 10 with the latest Nvidia drivers
*AMD users please see: AMD Software (Also this thread)
*More feedback is required from AMD users on this.ENB was not built with AMD in-mind.
Step 5: Start MO (ModOrganizer.exe) and make sure all mods from left and right pane are activated.
*ModOrganizer.exe is found in X:\Skyrim don't install in C:\ as some users have!
*Mods in left pane should end with 204 and sorted by priority automatically.
*Mods in right pane should be 143.
Step 6: Start SKSE through MO to play the game.
*Do NOT run LOOT or let it sort your mods,mods have been manually sorted both in left and right pane of MO to ensure maximum compatibility
*Make sure you have all the redist required
Step 7: Start a new game or load one of the saves.
