The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

I've just spent hours getting this to look acceptable after spending 120+ hours playing Witcher 3. I'd clocked 140 hours on Skyrim previous to that! :eek: Some LOD mods have helped massively.

The whole control system just feels "loose" (esp: swimming) now I've come back to it but I'm hoping my brain will adjust!
 
I was hopeful of a follow up this year, but when I see the state of Fallout 4 I think a fully modded Skyrim is probably better than anything Bethesda would have to offer with Elder Scrolls VI.

ESO is an utter mess, God only knows what they were thinking about. It's not as if they haven't made some money from the franchise that they can't pay for proper basic development, like actual up to date textures let alone a modern game engine.

If you are running >60fps or getting very low framerates the controls tend to go a bit flakey in Skyrim. Hard capped at 58fps with a config/setup that can mostly maintain that it feels a lot tighter and more consistent. (Need G-Sync or FreeSync though so it plays smooth with low input latency otherwise you'd get either lots of input latency or lots of tearing).

So I've decided to give Skyrim another try. (Mainly because I just finished watching Vikings season 3).

I'm a bit out of the loop for the mod side of things.

Does anyone know of some good viking themed mods at all? I had a quick look on NexusMods, but nothing caught my attention :(

Have you tried posting on the Nexus in the mods page?

I found this fix and it fixes the DOF, but as you can see from the screen caps the result is a washed out image and a pounding to the FPS.

I think I'll just settle for no DOF.

RealVision's DOF is just about the most demanding out there if you don't have a good 15-20 fps to spare it'll hammer your framerates. Its nice but boy does it give the gfx card a pounding the fans on my card really ramp up when it kicks in.

You could try another ENB's DoF, its the enbeffectprepass.fx file just drop it in your Skyrim folder overwriting RealVision's one. Probably not so nice but not as demanding either.

The washed out look is down to the ENB settings, I turn all of them off except shadows and god rays and let SweetFX handle the look its much easier to make your own preset.

Where do you turn them off?
 
Had a play with ENB - don't really rate it - might try and persist with getting volumetric rays/god rays working decently but most of its features inject too much scattered/bounced light killing the depth perception - the sub-surface scattering especially is nasty for it.

DoF looks quite nice when tweaked properly but with some of the other advanced tweaks I'm running (which increase visuals more significantly) seem to conflict with it which results in a massive framerate hit if I don't disable one or the other (going from what would be an uncapped 100fps to 40fps in some places) so not really worth it.
 
Installing some new stuff on my Skyrim.

Came across a problem where my water is bugging out (both audio and visually).

Here's what it's meant to look like continuously:

Then every so often, it'll get a white masking over the top and the sound will bug out:

Not really sure what's causing this, anyone have an idea?
 
Probably something to do with mod load order and/or incompatible mods.

Been playing around with volumetric rays and stuff still needs a bit of tweaking but does add something to the game.

The load order is correct as I use both LOOT and Mod Organizer.

But this happened after having just the ENB I'm pretty sure.

EDIT: I fixed the problem :D

Back to continuing to mod xD
