Skyrim Must Have Mods Thread! - Korny - 12-26-2011

So, I've been thinking about sharing some of my currently installed mods which are pretty damn awesome in my opinion.

First off, visual improving mods:
  • Realistic Water Textures
In my opinion a must have, it makes the water look gorgeous really.

  • Serious HD Retexture
Replaces a lot of textures from the game with great looking high res ones.

  • Sunglare Mod
Adds a nice, warm sunglare texture.

  • Realistic Lighting
Changes the whole lighting of the game into something more suitable and realistic, also makes dungeons and nights darker.

This can be seen on pretty much any pic I uploaded, but on the mod page you'll see more.

Righto, that's it for now. I've got some more installed but these just rock honestly. Sad thing is that Steam sorta' loses the quality of my screenshots when I upload them, they look better ingame, but oh well.

Of course, feel free to add some more mods to the list.

Would you, even if you send it via PM, let me know what mod manager you're using and where I can get it? Danke.

Skyrim Must Have Mods Thread! - Korny - 12-27-2011

Using no mod manager right now. There's one out, but it's not the classical manager you might know from Oblivion. But the Creation Kit isn't out yet, mods are fairly easy to install. Just drop them into your data folder, and get SKSE first (Script Extender, for complicated mods).

Also, add the weapon HD texture add-on mod:

Make Skyrim use 4GB of RAM, not 2gb, this is mainly for modders and usually lowers crash rates on modern PC's.

I also use the Nexus mod manager, its in BETA but I've had no problems at the moment.

Bethesda has a built in 4GB LAA now, since the last patch.

The weapons mod is good, but too slow in progression if you ask me.

Oh really? Didn't check the patch notes. I also like this mod:

Got that one too, the dirty version. Great improvement.

You dirty, dirty boy.

  • Skyrim HD

Like Serious HD retexture, it changes many of Skyrims low res textures to some high res ones, combine with Serious HD retexture for a better experience. Skyrim HD is still in development, but absolutely recommended.

  • Xenius Character Enhancement
One of my personal favourites. This one replaces the textures of faces from both male and female characters into high res ones, also included: Eyes, Lips and removes the blockiness of many characters faces.
