FPSconfig for performance boost v1.3
Not everyone can afford powerful gaming hardware in these troubled days, and the modding community is always eager to help those who cannot get a full gaming experience from new products due to technical limitations. In the case of The Outer Worlds, there is the FPSconfig for Performance Boost mod by VladCorvi and Crystrex users, which helps to partially solve performance problems.
This mod overhauls the game's textures, tones, and lighting to make it more accessible to lower-end gaming PCs. To the credit of the authors, they admit that this does not affect the frame rate of the game too much, but it helps to reduce the load on the GPU.
Changes:
Disabled Tonemapper, bloom, blur, dof and other heavy shaders
Tweaked LODs, Lighting, View distance, Texture streaming
Improved Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA)
Increased font size (Engine.ini - Applicatijаvascript-event-stripped1.185)
My system:
CPU: 2200g
GPU: Vega 8
RAM: 16 GB
Warning: This mod have a very small impact on FPS. It's nothing to do here beside disable all shaders and make it fullbright just like in CS:GO, Skyrim. I have no skills to do this, sorry.
I tested many solutions:
Reduce textures size - nothing happens
Disable all shadows - instant crush or white face syndrome
Disable all lighting - nothing happens
Disable all postprocess - small impact, current version
By the way, you can test and use it freely in your own mods. Good luck.

Terraformed ReShade
There are plenty of reshades for The Outer Worlds, but Terraformed ReShade is the most popular by a huge margin, and it's easy to see why. Described as giving the game a new level of depth, color and graphical effects, it fully lives up to these words, increasing the detail of the textures.

Supernova Patch v3.0
Supernova is the highest difficulty level in The Outer Worlds. In addition to the fact that the enemies become more merciless. It ups the ante by hindering the player in several ways, including save limits and fast travel.

Petra Texture for ADA v1.3
This mod replaces the default ADA texture with portraits of Petra from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I manually drew all of the expressions and recolored all the frames to match the original ADA's expressions and colors as closely as possible.
