which graphical mod to choose and install ?

[mustard]

Having rebuilt a new PC because my previous is gone I'm reinstalling KSP that I had abandoned for 2 years, but I don't understand the difference between the graphic mods. There are several of them and I don't know which ones to install or if i can put some together or if some are incompatible between them, which one is the bests.
What would you advise me to install ?
-Scattered
-SVE (Stock Visual Enhancement)
-EVE (Environmental Visual Enhancements)
-Spectra

Stock Visual Enhancements. Sci-Fi Visual Enhancements is good if you have a potato.

AVP and Spectra are one of my favourite packs. By the way you shouldn’t have both SVE and Spectra, they’re incompatible.

• Kopernicus allows terrain modification
  • The defaults show no changes from stock, SVT (stock visual terrain) has passable improvements
  • I prefer the KSPRC implementation, but it was never finished and requires a lot of tweaking and fixing to work right
• EVE adds cloud shaders
  • EVE has an optional default config, but other mods do it better; for example, SVE (stock visual enhancements)
• Scatterer adds atmospheric and ocean shaders
  • The default implementation of scatterer is good enough
• TextureReplacer allows for replacing default textures with new ones
  • I would suggest extracting some of the textures from KSPRC for this
  • You can also find some head and suit packs to give your kerbals variety
• PlanetShine lets atmospheric planets put off some light
• KS3P has a bunch of post-process shaders
  • He'll have a 1.7 version out before too much longer
• ReStock replaces the default stock parts with far better models and textures, without breaking/changing other things

I highly recommend running KSP with -force-glcore for stability, graphics, and performance improvements.

I do EVE with SVE config, Scatterer and PlanetShine.
