Well I got it on the PC now. I'm gonna the mod the shit out of it and then start a new game with the mod "Wrymstooth" which is like a whole extra DLC professionally done so I've heard.

Should be fun a lot of fun with the new content and not having played it for so long, I haven't played Skyrim in like half a year(or more). I really need to get my controller hooked up to my PC but meh... don't feel like spending more money.

The graphics though, god damn. I'm use to playing it on the 360 and the difference is just insane. Looks great, can't wait to try some retexturing mods.




The retextures are great, don't get me wrong, but the lighting is what makes the biggest difference.  The lighting in vanilla Skyrim is pretty terrible.  Just ambient blue light in most dungeons.  With mods some of those places get to be downright spooky.

Again, I REALLY recommend following Gopher's tutorials while you're getting started modding.  He has some great ones and shows you in (sometimes too much) detail how to do everything.

I haven't added in different lighting, that is a great idea thanks. I'll check him out, I think I watched a bit of it a long time ago but I never had it on the PC before so actually modding skyrim wasn't something I could do.

I'm going to finish Wrymstooth before I add any other new mod though, don't want to end up messing something up. :lol:

After I do all this, I think I'm gonna go back and mod the shit out of oblivion too. Never did that either. Should be fun - haven't played oblivion in years.

So I must say, wow, what a difference.

I've added so many mods to Skyrim that it feels like I'm playing a different game altogether.

I've made combat much more challenging, I've balanced magic out to actually BE WORTH USING, destruction was such a pathetic skill line in vanilla minus the overpowered impact skill.

-New homebases
-Tons of new enemies
-New spells/conjures
-New dragons and more difficult
-Baby dragons to accompany the big un's.
-Alduin is actually fucking hard (He was a joke for "Eater of worlds")
and so much more like bugfixing and shit

I can't believe I've been missing out on this modded experience.

A++

I use realistic lighting overhaul.

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30450/?

You should be able to lay it out over any other mods without problems since all it changes is the lighting.  If you find out your system can't handle it, it's as easy as unchecking it in your mod manager.

I love the realistic lighting mod, makes all dungeons soooo spooky..:uhoh:

But be warned if you run this mod, you might fall off a cliff while running from a dragon on legendary in the middle of the night with no torch or magicka to light your way:nonono:

You can make it way better...

HD Texture packs
Realistic lighting mod

Probably a bunch more out there.. I haven't played in a while.. but those two alone make the game look 5x better.

No....no it doesn't.

I can't go back to vanilla.  I watched my room mate play on the 360 and was baffled at how awful it was by comparison.

Yeah the game looks so dope with everything added in with mods. Comaring it to my 360 version is just painful now. Sometimes 30 second loading screens and shit for subpar graphics while my computer does it in 5 seconds on ultra high graphics + retexture/lighting/shadow mods. Insane.


Not to mention being able to have mudcrabs with posh hats and monocoles in is pretty funny

Here's a GREAT list of mods for your heads:

http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:Core_Mods

Lots of immersion friendly stuff that improves the overall skyrim experience a lot.  Also, these are very low impact mods, so you can likely install and keep your saves running.  I just downloaded over 120 from the list :awesome:

Don't just install them all blindly, go through and see what you like about what.  Make your conflict/replacement choices in an informed manner!

Sweet list man. I'm at work so I can't add it in, but I'll check it out tonight. Can't wait to have another skyrim nerdathon this weekend :yesnod:

I generally add in only a few at a time (making sure they don't do anything with each other) and run the game and make sure everything is added in properly. I hear a lot of people talking about corrupted saves and what not and can see why.

I paid like $750 in december for my PC with no monitor and I can run it on ultra high settings with enhanced graphic mods with 0 lag/framerate issues and the load time is literally ~5 seconds.

I sat down last night, turned on my 360 and the first loading time was like ~35 seconds, I laughed and turned it off because I can't sit through those ridiculous screen times anymore. Not to mention all the freezes and lag it has on the 360, I heard the playstation version had it far worse off too.


The mods though man, that is the best part: 

I've completely redone how magic works: It is so much better now. Vanilla skyrims magic was fucking stupid. All the master spells sucked pretty much, illusion was the worst, dual casting expert illusion spell > master spell... what the fuck?

I have a mod that adds in so many cool spells like the old feather, night vision, new destruction/summons/new master spells, etc

I also hated how we could have 100% enchants for infinite magic use it pretty much destroyed any need of raising magicka beyond a certain point, with the mod I have in it flips alchemy and enchanting. So instead of getting -% magic cost from enchanting, you get +% damage or time of skill duration depending on the magic skill. Balances it out very nicely to encourage you to use points into magicka and you get more out of your spells. So a real wizard is going to be terrifying!

Vanilla skyrim magic? Meh.................. compared to Oblivion, skyrim went off in the wrong direction

yeah you can, but I don't know how. I'm sure you can youtube it though for exact instructions. I just use a 40 inch monitor


http://www.asus.com/Desktops/M51AC/

That is what I got, with 8 gigs of ram and about ~800 gigs of memory
