Any particular Shitrim mods I should download?

Jono · July 07, 2016, 04:15:36 AM

I already have the Sylvanas Windrunner follower mod and she's OP as hell and I have Macho Man Dragons.

I'm looking into some texture mods for the terrain and facial features for characters. Any particular ones that you guys use that you'd recommend?

For Skyrim? Well.. there are a ton. Go to Nexus and look at the top ones.

Just a heads up. Take a quick look in the "post" section for these, because a lot are outdated and there are links to better and more recent ones. It's just that Nexus doesn't know how to filter out old/outdated/broken mods that were once a huge thing. I'll link some ones I feel are more or less "essential".

Luciana · July 07, 2016, 06:56:24 AM

So ones you really more or less need are SkyUI, and the Unofficial Patch (with the CBBE body one being optional to replace those ugly default low texture bodies). I'll just link ones I feel enhance a lot.

Spoiler

Enhanced blood textures

Immersive Weapons

Immersive Armor

SkySight Skins (for better male textures)

Wet and Cold

Enhanced Camera

Campfire Mod (goes with Frostfall)

Frostfall

Realistic Water Two

Vivid Weathers. This is the most recent and best one (so ignore something like Climates of Tamriel)

Follower Commentary Overhaul

iNeed (hunger/thirst/sleep mod)

Even better quest objectives

Enhanced Lights and FX (if you're doing Vivid Weather, only choose the indoor option for this)

Hold Border Banners

Immersive Hold Borders

Improvements:
SkyUI is super helpful for the shitty inventory screens. Really good if you're going to play with mouse + keyboard.
"A Quality Road Map"

Graphics:
There's a "Towns & Villages Enhanced" series, which just adds some extra detail to all the major areas.
Enhanced Blood Textures
Improved Interiror Lighting
Get a bunch of grass mods (Vurt Flora Overhaul, Dense Vegetation, etc...)

Armor/Weapons:
Dragonbone Ebonsteel set (adds extra Dragonbone weapons and armor if you can smith them)
Vanguard Armor

Didn't actually play enough to get to the added worlds and missions aspect.

SoS

I have 356 mods, a good number of them merged.

First one that came to mind.

Downloading all of these. Thanks Luci. Maybe you're not the worst mod after all.

Ender · July 07, 2016, 12:40:00 PM

Yeah immersive armor/weapons/music are a MUST

Ender · July 07, 2016, 12:40:54 PM

Also follow my fam Chesko cause he's gonna release a mod or two some time soon

And yo some of the mods I had turned on were making the game close after the Bethesda Game Studios logo shows up when you boot the game. I fixed some things and now everything is working properly. I'm still surprised that my computer can run Skyrim at relatively good settings, even though the FPS is a bit choppy sometimes.
