Skyrim Mods

[Elemental]

So, I recently bought Skyrim Ultimate Edition on steam cuz on sale, even tho I alrdy have it for xbox with Hearthfire, but fuck xbox xD

Anyway, I've played skyrim so many times, I have to say, it gets kind of boring.
So I was wondering, do any of you have some suggestions for good mods/addons/w/e to change/improve gameplay?

I've found Midas Spells to be quite fun and handy, but I want more content based mods, more/other stuff to do, etc.

Um... you probably have this considering almost everybody does, but SkyUI. It makes the shitty UI really nice.

It also gets updated a lot.

Didn't have that, all I got is the official expensions, and midas magic, so any good mods that " everyone uses " are very welcome :P

[ExileD]

Ok so here is a list of mods that I can think off:

!Skyrim Script Extender
http://skse.silverlock.org/

Required for alot of skyrim mods.

ENB Series
http://www.enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm

Required for all ENB mods.

2k Textures
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/607/?

It helps improve upon the games rubbish graphics.

CBBE Body Mod

My favorite body mod, refrained from posting link due to some nudity in images, google it (nudity is optional).

W.A.T.E.R
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13268/?

Makes the water look way more realistic.

AOF HD Tree LODs
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24364/?

Basically what titles says, makes tree's in skyrim look better.

Follower Overhaul
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14037/?

General fixes for followers + more follower options.

Book Covers
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35399/?

Ultimate Lighting Overhaul
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37846/?

Makes the game look far better, use the performance or full version depending on how powerful your computer is.

Bhruce Hammar
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44557/?

Unlike many other follower mods this one is actually really detailed, with personal quest and lots of great dialogue. Stands out alot.

ApachiiSkyHair
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10168/?

Add lots of new hairstyles to the game.

Enhanced Character Edit
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12951/?

All of them.

[Unnamed Newbie]

I run all of this guy's enhanced cities/towns etc.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/aplestormy/myworkshopfiles/?appid=72850
They make everything fucking gorgeous.

These are LoTR weapons. Badass, but a bit OP.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7891

For extra quests check out this guy
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014885739/myworkshopfiles/?appid=72850
Adds an incredible amount of fun hours with a hella lot of quests.

Idk about you, but I also feel like there should be more villages/towns throughout Skyrim, so I added some:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=15985
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=165391401
They are pretty useful as well and wicked beautiful

My favorite player house choice is this mountainy fortress. It is complete with a badass drawbridge.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132404024

Have fun in game!

[Harpr33t]

All of them.

Does it cause skyrim to crash often or be unstable?

[Ryoku]

The Rape Train is the best mod c:

[ExileD]

Does it cause skyrim to crash often or be unstable?

Skyrim hardly ever crashes for me, and as for unstable, I suppose it does lower framerate alot + sometimes the game freezes for 5 seconds during loading. But I don't consider the 5 seconds longer loading that big of a deal.

[R3TROATTACK]

Make sure u use a mod maanger like Nexus Mod Manager

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

Skyrim HD - 2K Textures

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/607/?

Some nice textures!

This isnt even a quarter of my mods list im just to lazy to post them all and most of the mods i use are for personal preference i might edit this and add more too.

Also most stuff exiled put in there are good/ needed for most mods like skse and skyui so i would download those even if you dont want too.

[Banana Joe]

Of all the mods I use(or used, haven't played in forever), this is one of the mods I like the most http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=9275

Basically makes daedric artifacts worth going for. Might make them OP in some people's opinion, however I find it perfectly fitting as they're supposed to be something special.

aka your comp is horrid

[Elemental]

Alright, downloading most of em now with the nexus mod manager, tho I do have a question, do I run skyrim with the SKSE loader or with Nexus Mod Manager, now? D: Idk if it reads SKSE when i start it with the nexus manager.

you can run it with either because the nexus mod manager has a option to enable launching with skse, but you can also just launch it with the sksk loader doesnt matter but dont launch it with normal skyrim or most mods wont work.

[Spyder]

Oh my god

Please get the Thomas The Tank Engine mod... It's fucking hilarious. It replaces every dragon with a train from the Thomas The Tank Engine show.. And instead of roaring and shit they all have horns and whistles

[Elemental]

im only looking for srslyface mods atm :P

[ExileD]

aka your comp is horrid

I am using a laptop with intergrated graphics so of course it's not as powerful as my desktop was before it died.

[Elemental]

Alright so ive downloaded a SHITLOAD of mods, but most mods keep asking me if I want to overwrite files from other mods (Mostly from RealVision and 2K HD Textures)

Seems to me that most graphics mods aren't really compatible, should I not overwrite, or overwrite in these cases.. ? D:

The way i install stuff is i install 2k textures then any other allowing them to overwrite 2k and lastly installing smim(the textues smim provides are the best for what it does). this is only for the texture part other actual mods maybe be different.

I shall try this, thanks retro.

Getting a lil scared about wether or not my pc can run all this shit tho, cause I walked outside of whiterun to that massive patch of grass where that dragon attacks that tower, and I was lagging cause I had like 3 grass mods installed, making it prettier and move and shit lol.

Actually had to uninstall the mods XD
