The BIG Skyrim Thread

[Satangel]

Well better sorting is bound to happen, it'll come soon Joe Probably will have it when I play through Skyrim again.
Another mod I use is Breezehome enchanting table, incredibly handy, I'm sick of running up to Dragonsreach!

Haha, same here! Too bad it didn't work when I installed it manually, I hope now that I've installed it with NMM, it will work

NMM supports most of the most popular mods out there.

Have you got some nice advices on graphic enhancing mods?

I've only got:

Enhanced Blood Textures
Enhanced Night Skyrim - Color Galaxy
Enhanced Night Skyrim - High Stars (what's the difference between these two? dunno)
Lush Grass
Lush Trees
RWT: Realistic Water Textures
Glowing Ore Veins 300

All those "HD" packs don't look to do much... Maybe I am wrong just from looking at screenshots?

Haven't messed too much with HD packs, mainly because my GFX card only has about 512MB of RAM, and if I would install everything in a higher resolution it'll likely start to lag. I'm also using RWT, Glowing Ore and Lush though!
I'm planning on using this mod:

NPC clothing retexture

Because IMHO it really really helps, it just looks so much better.
Otherwise I'm also using Capes for armours , Enhanced Night Skyrim.
And this one I'll try but likely will cause too much lag. Skyrim HD Textures

Skyrim HD Textures

Just tried that one, it's nice, but it only has Whiterun and Solitude. For example, in Riften lots of textures are still SD.

It also brings nice slowdowns here (GTX260 896MB VRAM). Not worth it, imho.

Not even with the 4GB RAM fix?
I won't install it so far, seems incomplete and don't want to play with lag. I'll keep it on my to-watch list

There's this graphic mod as well, can be turned on and off ingame apparently:
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4142

Its a pretty big FPS killer though, good for screenshots though.
Also, this is useful for Destruction users:

Vanilla destruction is a bit too weak for my tastes, this fixes that~

And finally:
http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2063#content

Allows you to convert dragon souls to perks, which IMHO is awesome.

I'm using the latest patch (1.3) which integrates it, so yeah.

The first one looks like one of those ENBseries stuff. I tried one called Ultra Realistic Skyrim or something, and it sucked massively. It just made the game more dark.
This one seems nice though, so I might try it.

The soul to perk thing looks awesome, but methinks it's cheating. I might use it after I've finished the game though, just to have every perk

You get perk points beyond 50. Whats the point in that. Perk is what breaking the game. *Looks at blacksmithing, enchanting, alchemy and sneak*. Oh well. Its still funny to one hit everyone

Creation Kit coming out this tuesday!

+ we're also getting another surprise for Skyrim! Don't know if it's PC only, we'll see.

 

[kevan]

*Has spent his recent time in Skyrim making Iron Daggers... only 7 more levels to 100 smithing ._.*

I know how you feel. I dunno what Whiterun does with its abundance of Leather Gauntlets....

 

[kevan]

It's funny. I buy all the Ingots and Leather strips. Make around 15-20 daggers. Go to Skyforge. Buy more. Make another 15-20 daggers. Wait two days. Repeat.

 

[Joe88]

is it just me or does this look like kratos

Minus being a big green orc and kinda lacking some of the characteristics (appropriate scars, hair, and being an orc doesn't help.

Do basically the same thing with potions. Go to the alchemy shops, buy everything, make a thousand points, resell them for all of (or more of) my money back, rinse and repeat. Buffs your Alchemy and gets you easy cash. You also can get some pretty nice coin by just picking up every single ingredient you find and making crap with them.
