They work by forcing TESV.exe to use the mod's custom d3d9.dll instead of Windows own version.

If you noticed no change at all after installing one you installed it incorrectly.

I installed it correctly as instructed. It didnt give me the nice bright green colours shown in the screenshots, it just completely white washed everything and doesnt do what the screenshots show, it simply makes my game look terrible.

This is the one I tried:

And no my game didnt look like the screenshots, everything just had a **** load of bloom and DOF blur added to it and it looked ****.

That starred word isnt even rude, it begins with a c and ends in rap.

My favourite is the Realistic lighting mod - absolutely fantastic lighting effects. Haven't quite managed to fix not being able to see underwater though.

This one? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7654

Same one that I'm running now.

Did you remember to change the 'FloatPointRenderTarget' to 1 in your SkyrimPrefs.ini?

Yes. Everything just went bright white, blurry and ****, erm, can I say rubbish instead then?.

Odd. Have you got any other lighting mods installed?

Try this? Taken from page 3 in the comments on the mod on Nexus :

"i got the issue that the Brightness Outside&Days are very high , in didnt saw such much brightness in any Video or Picture , does anyone have a Idea for this problem?

I got the same problem at first. After reading the FAQ, reduce the brightness in the graphic option to zero.....or until it get normal "

Btw I'm running the 0_63 beta, not the latest 0_66 version.

Just tried this MOD. Now even though it makes it more realistic. I don't like it. Far too dark to the point where you can't see where you are going. If there were more candles in the buildings... then maybe it could work for me.

Even with the brighter interiors config?

A lot of monitors will not handle low brightness levels due to poor contrast so I can see where this becomes an issue though.

I've been using Crimson Tide - Blood mod for a while now, it seems more realistic to me.

Haven't played Skyrim in a while myself

Just had a look at some of the screenshots. Looks pretty good, I'll give it a go!

CaptainRAVE · 19 Apr 2012 at 17:08

Decided to get rid of the "sexy" places mods. They are pretty horrible.

I was just coming on here to post this. Have you seen the screenshots on the 'dead end thrills' link? :eek:

HankScorpio · 19 Apr 2012 at 18:45

Can someone help me please?

I had an old Hi res textures pack when skyrim was released installed and I just recently installed the HD textures dlc.

I was thinking I'd better remove the old mod so they won't clash and I just deleted the hi res file.

Now my game looks like this

I don't think I deleted all of the original mod, or I deleted the wrong file :x

Can someone help me in repairing the game please!

Verify files on Steam.

I don't like that FXAA Injector config, I remember Possessive Corpses no more lazy zombies and shy nirnroots being incompatible with some other mod I was using. The rest of the mods had been linked to already.

Anyone recommend a good magic mod to balance destruction magic scaling (it sucksssssssss).

GAHHH!!! Been using the Ultimate Follower Overhaul and it is quite good and adds some neat features. However, Lydia refuses to unfollow me! She refuses to do anything I say in fact! I ask her to "Wait here". Noooo, she follows me around still...

Any way to force people to stop following you?
