The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

Thanks will report back proto right now downloading demon8991 (thanks by the way) SkyDrive files just for SRO texture mod files as they are near impossible to find.
 
That Skydrive site sucks ****, it will not under any circumstance let me download part 7. :(

Thats strange it has worked for others. What happens when you try?

No worries at all.

As for the SRO you can get this from most torrent sites, works perfectly fine my end too.

Check my screenshots out on the Skydrive for an idea as to what it all looks like.

Nothing, the little loading circle in Chrome just spins indefinitely. Worked after about 15 refreshes though finally. Are they all just re-textures and whatnot? Can't break an already modded game if it has some conflicting mods already in it?
 
HALP!

I am getting really frustrated! Basically, I uninstalled Skyrim, deleted ALL traces of it. Excluding the saves...

I am just reinstalling now, but I really want to play it using SkyRe this time round. But even when that is the ONLY mod, it's still causing crashing as it's loading up...

What on earth is messing up? I'm following the instructions to the T...
 
Actually have some genuine questions now about SkyRe.

So, the mod it's self seems to have added a very nice layer ontop of the game. I like it a lot! So much depth into the perk system. I'm building a archer/mage sneaky character.

Longbows/crossbows for long to medium distance. Then magic short range.

However, magic is WEAK! Very weak. Takes me 2 slices max, with a steel dagger at level 6 to down a normal bandit, yet 6-10 seconds of channeling a one hand flame spell... Not as powerful as vanilla... Is this intentional?

I have midas magic installed, wonder if thats playing tickle with the numbers...

Anyway, another question. Suggested difficulty for SkyRe? I'm on Adept, but obviously everything is easy... One shot with arrows and stuff already. I'm thinking master?

It isn't Midas Magic affecting it, magic in Skyrim in general is completely underwhelming damage wise. Use this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4374

It won't conflict with Midas, infact it makes a great deal of the spells in it stronger, it basically adds a bonus damage % (exactly the same way bows and swords etc do) to each of the 'novice' 'adept' 'apprentice' 'expert' and 'master' spell skills for destruction and conjuration, while adding duration and magnitude % to healing/alteration etc. Really is a fantastic mod, essential IMO.
 
Thanks Proto for your help changing the ENB has sorted out the magic effects flare...

However I'm now having problems cleaning the Realistic Lighting Overhaul (needed for Superb ENB) in that I cant get them clean??? :-/... I run TES5EDIT select the files in question, apply filter for cleaning, delete identical files to master and then and delete and disable references however it still shows as dirty in BOSS... (plus don't show save box in TES5EDIT)

The save box shows up when you try to close TES5Edit after cleaning, by pressing the close icon at the top of the user box. I'm guessing that's where the issue lies. :p

And here are the instructions again just in case something was missed.

Did you load up RLO with the Skyrim.esm?
 
I've been modding Skyrim for a little while now- which is great fun, arguably more fun than the game itself! - but after trying pretty much every high resolution pack going, including the full texture pack combiner (cheers for that btw, demon8991), have yet to find something that looks better than the vanilla game with the default high res dlc. If anything, all this tinkering has taught me that consistency in aesthetic and texture resolution is far more important than texture detail. In isolation the high res textures are obviously much better, but in game are often jarring. Everything will be looking great in a particular location, then I walk into a forest and suddenly the ground texture stands out in contrast and clashes with everything near by, or an outcrop of rock, or a path, or whatever, will just look out of place and weird. Things just don't gel together and, after repeatedly flicking back and forth between tweaked and modded, look considerably worse to my eyes than the vanilla game. There's a few mods that have survived the mass culling - mostly gameplay and gui tweaks, plus some mesh improvements, purewaters and anything that makes distant objects look better - but otherwise everything is as it was and looking better than it has in ages. It's taken about 100 hours to to go almost full circle!
 
Quick question about the HD 2K Textures mods, I thought there was just one mod, but coming back to Skyrim after a few months there seems to be a few different ones: Dungeons, Towns, Riften etc. but when I install one it uninstalls the other one :confused: What's the story? Thanks.

When it asks something like "There is already a mod called whatever, do you want to overwrite it?" or something like that, click on no, so it installs normally.

(I can't remember exactly what it says tbh)
 
Hi Guys,

Which is the best high resolution/most recommended texture pack for this game?

Cheers

I have a combined file of 60 mods hosted that you can use would be the easiest way to get it running amazing. Feel free to check my screenshots too.

Start off with this.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9080

I have then made a combined file with 60 texture mods all in one package which i have hosted below.

The file is split into 7 rar files and will need to be extracted and then put back into a single rar file and then added to nexus mod manager.
