The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

Not that many mods really:

The ENB is here: Opethfeldt6's ENB

Links on that pages to the mods it requires.

There are some bugs though, but it is still a beta. So far I found that torches on walls, and some forges have bugs. Fixes for both can be found in the comments pages. I uploaded the 2 fixes here. However it seems that doesn't fix all forges.

Also I have found that when entering an exterior area, after a loading screen, low-res textures may show for a second or 2.

Is a quite demanding ENB, I turned off SSAO, DoF, Reflections, Sky Lighting, Subsurface Scattering. Really dark too, so I increased the brightness a bit at night and in interiors.

What size of space are people currently using with Skyrim+Mods?

Anyone have it installed on an SSD?

Fanatic · 8 Oct 2013 at 12:43

Yup, I have it on my SSD. Size on disk: 16.9 GB (18,252,328,960 bytes).

Hi guys, just got crossfire HD7950s and now have bad tearing when opening up skyrim. any ideas on a fix?

I have the usual visual mods on and was wondering if they dont work well with crossfire?

Pighardia · 9 Oct 2013 at 12:26

I haven't been able to play for about 4 months now...can't fix it at all. The game crashes at the opening scene in the cart.

so finally settled on an ENB and after a lot of mod testing ended up as below. Runs as smooth as silk

Can you list what mods ect you use and how to get it looking like that? I'm a complete noob with this modding lark so an easyish explanation would be good! I have used nexus so i know a little about that.

Cheers

Fiocca I found viewing Gophers beginners guide to modding Skyrim series quite helpful if sometimes a bit long winded but thorough and easy to follow.

Without sounding silly, have you tried a complete reinstall of the game. This time installing it to a different directory?

Neil79 · 9 Oct 2013 at 14:45

Added a new life mod, makes a change

Oh and having Skyrim on an SSD EVO with Rapid mode OMG! Loads like 2secs or less into a game or different area

Neil79 · 9 Oct 2013 at 14:47

Redline do you have a link to that ENB?

I'm using Realvision at the moment

Tried everything I can think of....must have reinstalled it 5-6 times!

agnes · 9 Oct 2013 at 15:02

Honestly, try and reinstall it to a different directory. C:\Programs\Skyrim test

I am pretty certain I have installed it to a few different directories, but I have a new SSD on it's way, which I am planning to use solely for Bethesda games

...so I shall wait for that and see if it helps.

You've probably done this but...
Did you delete the ini files from my docs? Total longshot.
