If you haven't, if you go back and play them again, I'd at least recommend trying some of the "pretty" mods that bump model and texture resolution for modern computers.

I really wish that Bethesda could work out a way to make that more-accessible to players, because I know that a lot never try a modded game because of all the poking at the game that they'd need to do ("do I want this high-res grass mod or this high-res grass mod?")

Maybe have something like a built-in Wabbajack so that getting a large set of recommended mods installed amounts to saying ”install this curated list of mods that this player selected". Then recommend the top couple of modsets that players are playing with. That's not going to do it for people who are really into precisely optimizing the environment for their particular preferences (this particular chair model is superior to this particular chair model), but it'd hopefully lower the bar far enough for more people to be able to benefit.
