There are actually a few enhanced vanilla type texture packs for PC - Vanilla Remastered that I am currently using but also Project Clarity and Skyrim Realistic Overhaul for example.
For perks I'm just using Full Magic Scaling this time. But I think you mean Adamant and I'm pretty sure it is still available for PC!
I was 16 when I realized that I actually really enjoy video games. I just hadn't been that interested before. So I used my own money that I had saved, went by bus to the store and purchased myself a SNES. It was a lot of money for me but I was super happy. My favorite games were Zelda: A link to the past, Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country. Great games! Donkey Kong Country's graphics were seen as amazing at the time. It was some kind of innovative 3D modelling.
