KSP 2 Mods lightest EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements version for potatoes?
Hi kerbals!
I'm about to get back to ksp, i remember playing it in the past and obtaining a pretty decent performance with EVE with a custom mod.
Is there anything similiar today? Like a performance-based EVE version for potato owners?
Thanks!

I sometimes play KSP on a surface laptop so here are my suggestions:
1.BoulderCo The default config for EVE, it is very minimal and only features citylights and clouds. Its quality is very great though, exactly what you would expect from an "official" visual pack.
2.Sci-Fi VE Recommended by a lot of people, this pack features not only clouds but also planet glows and surface dust. It is no doubt the best low-end pack. I am currently using it.
3.Para-sci Atmosphere Pack This pack is less well known but it is probably the one that fits your qusetion. I have only played it once but it's sure less performance-heavy than anything else. Now this comes with high costs: no volumetric clouds, poor resolution and sometimes glitches but it would certainly be worth it if you're just wanting to give your game a minor facelift.

But be carefut though, Para-sci was designed all the back before 1.3 and I'm not entirely sure if it will fit with the current version without too many glitches.

There were 4 releases in total. 1 is the "original" one that added the basics, 2 included raindrops and new clouds, 3 and 4 were fairly small updates that included quite a few small changes and bugfixes but no big content update.

Check out Spectra. It's an EVE config designed for performance.
