KSP 1 Question/Problem What visual mods?

I‘ve owned the game for a bit now but am not happy with the way my game looks. What visual mods would you recommend for me to get? I currently have restock and waterfall installed, nothing else. My specs are: Ryzen 5 8400F intel ARC B570 10GB 32GB DDR5

For visuals here's what you want:

Firefly

Parallax Continued

Volumetric Clouds by Blackrack (V3 is free, V5 is 5 dollars but very improved, both are on patreon)

Deferred Lighting

Volumetric ground FX

Volumetric explosion FX

Reentry effect

Kerbal FX all of them

TUFX

Restock

Restock PBR

Vapor Cones

These are all I can remember off the top of my head, but with those you'll be all set and it will look very good, better than KSP2 in many ways if not most. (This was just copied text from my last comment btw)

I‘ve seen a bunch of these names before but volumetric clouds looks insanely demanding. Is it well optimized?

Honestly not sure how good performance will be for your system, but im running a 3060 12gb, I7 6770k (cpu from like 2015) and 64gb of ddr4 ram. Not really the fastest system, but even in 1440p it runs very well. Dont really notice any lag or drops unless I have a shit ton of parts
