Orogun01 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 May I recommend the Imaginator? It pretty much lets you mess with settings at your preference and it's not an ENB so you can use it with. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDeranged Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Imaginator is a great mod, it's also available for New Vegas, I like it because it only uses effects that are already in the engine and you can tweak them from an in game menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Imaginator was actually made for New Vegas first. I'm not really too interested in using it in Skyrim though, I wasted way too much time tweaking with it in F:NV By the way, this ENB configuration is the first I've found that actually looks good. It's hardly perfect (colors are too saturated in points and it's too contrast-y, though I guess people like that), but the chromatic result is pretty decent. I like Skyrim's desaturated look, but sometimes it feels just a tad too much desaturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Eh, nope, not even that ENB manages to satisfy me. I could try tweaking it until I get to a point I'm satisfied, but honestly, it's easier to just go vanilla (and performance is better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokishi Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here give my ENB a try, it's based off of RL ENB from nexus but I tweaked it to run much much faster http://www.filefactory.com/file/4tc05v6cb65f/n/my_enb_zip Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks, but I decided to abandon ENB completely. Good news though, if you're kinda bored with vanilla weather Project Reality for Skyrim is out. I'm not sure if it's realistic but it looks pretty, doesn't murder my eyes, and mostly matches the mood of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tale Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I thought about that exact same mod. Down to getting a deed, having a recipe book, and controlling it all from a workbench. I wonder if they hired that guy. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDeranged Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 After a few minutes of facepalming I decided that Hearthfire is fine, social media cattle will lap it up and hopefully Bethesda can put some cash towards doing what they're supposed to be doing, making me a DLC to rival Shivering Isles.

Lexx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 i'm gonna wait for a dlc that adds spears. then i'll buy all the available dlc and do another playthrough, hopefully in what will feel like a fairly different world because of all the changes from the mutliple dlcs Sounds like a good idea. I might try the same. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apachii Hair (more and more custom NPCS/followers are using it by default and may crash if not installed) Caliente Female body mod (CBEE) Caliente's Vanilla Clothing for CBBE Better Elven Armor (better recoloring) Steel Dwarven Armor (ditto elf armor) Bella's Better Females Realistic Female Face Skin HD If you are looking for eye candy followers: Girls of Skyrim (plus the patch) Also download the free hi res textures DLC from steam That covers all the basics most everyone uses, a few other suggestions: hi res road signs (easier to read road signs) player home markers (puts player homes on the fast travel map once discovered) cowardly horses (saves you a ton of cash have to re-purchase a horse that got itself killed, ie does not defend you runs away) hope that helps!

Humanoid Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I would suggest a mod that allows fast travel from indoors - just checking the one I use, unfortunately it's been discontinued due to compatibility issues - but there are plenty of them out there. Used it specifically to avoid the multiple loading screens involved in just getting in and out of the Thieves' Guild area, really. Another one to save frustration is something to raise the pickpocketing chance cap - the default is that there's always a 10% minimum chance of failure which is kind of silly. Another big convenience one is Glowing Ore Veins, but on reflection I'd suggest just not bothering to mine ore at all, rather pointless timesink. And finally, if playing a mage, consider grabbing a mod that allows damage spells to scale, as I believe (never actually played a mage) that the spells by default do static damage which gets obsoleted very very quickly.

Or I can import a clown NPC, call it Drowsy Emperor, and have him prance around in game spouting dialog which he thinks is clever, but few else do, becasue he is a attention whore? Either case without these mods faces and bodies look blocky, jagged due to being 'consolized'. These FX edits actually uses the power of video cards that have been made in the past few years to made NPCs look good. Sorry if you are too snobby to appreciate hi res FX. Some of us do however. That said back to the main point, I would also install the hi-res water and foliage mod, makes the water and trees look MUCH better and more realistic.
