The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS
- Thread starter Neil79
- Start date
Hearthfire is the best imo.
I want to get back into this until Bioshock Infinite is out so I've been updating my old Mods and trying to install new ones but the last few I've tried to install (from the Top Files on Nexus) Nexus is saying the files do not exist. Are some of the 'Top Files' gone or is there another way to get them working?
Riverside Lodge or Rayek's End, both are amazing.
I was updating Sky UI but it wouldn't work until I uninstalled an older version (form about 6 months ago). So I removed the files in the data/Interface folder, as per instruction and now Skyrim won't start. When I Verify integrity of game cache in Steam it finds an error alright:
"1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".
Then it reacquires the file but Skyrim still won't start up, it just disappears after the Bethesda screen. I remember getting this problem when I played it before but I can't remember what's wrong. Skyrim, skse, Nexus etc. are all up to date.

OK thanks. Everything in the load order in Nexus is ticked, including all the esm.s Actually there's a load of stuff in there from before that aren't showing up in the MOds, just in plugins, what's the difference?
Also does the order matter?
Thank you so much! One watch of that video and everything made sense, all problems solved, I'm back in Skyrim. Farewell reality, I'll be back in march, goodbye everybody

I messed around with a few ENB mods, but couldn't get on with the look of them at all. Not to mention the performance hit
Genuine Question - not up to speed on Skyrim Mods - Whats an ENB Mod ?
Ta in Advance
It's a code library that intercepts instructions to the standard DirectX library and replaces the result. Or in another way, it injects code into the game to enhance the graphics in some way. Usually this is applied to lighting calculations, anti aliasing and effects.
ENB mods will generally slow you down. However, if you have GPU power to spare it can be a none issue.
There are some instances where such mods have been used to work around bugs within video drivers, and even game engines, to produce better performance.
In practical terms, you drop a .dll file into the games' executable folder and away you go. Often some form of config ini or application can be used to tweak settings.
Security measures of online games can consider this code injection a hack attempt. Just something to be aware of.

Bit more info here too http://www.enbdev.com/
Here are some from my game atm. Seems to be a black bar coming up when I take a screenshot sometimes though.
I get about 45-60 most of the time, but drops in areas with a lot of buildings. As I said, I am not using a great ENB, just Project ENB with the performance options.
