Many people who have problems with PBR can improve their Second Life experience using the right settings for their computer and the right EEP for each occasion. I do teleport around a lot and go to crowded stores and events so I adjust my settings accordingly. If I go shopping, I want to be able to see everything well so I use JuicyBomb’s Midday Radiance, included in her Eternal Skies EEP Settings [PBR Ready] & Second Life Mirrors pack (for 10L$ you get several options and mirrors). If I want to enjoy the atmosphere of a place as the owner created it, I use shared environment.
Have a look at the tutorials, tips, resources, etc. I have linked below, they are full of information I hope you find useful. You can learn how to create your EEPs or edit the ones you have to your liking. I have also included a list of FREE or cheap EEPs you can get to start you off.
