I've started a new game and put the "player.setav carryweight" command in but every time I start skyrim it resets and i'm over encumbered.
Anyone got any ideas?

Try mod.av carryweight

I'm running a dual wielding Dark Brotherhood Assassin at the moment with two knives. Should I be looking at dual swords for a better DPS, while keeping the daggers for my first sneak attack with a monstrous 30x bonus?

gomola · 1 Jan 2012 at 15:35

cool.

player.modav carryweight 1000000

that did it.

Because your computer is running on hardware and not magic fairy dust.

You've set the shadow resolutions to maximum which by all reports cripples systems running with graphics cards better than yours in SLI.

4096 is the recommended for most systems.

Also iBlurDeferredShadowMask should be between 0 and 7, where did you get 32 from?

This is advise to you and anyone else thinking of editing their ini files, please find out what everything you are changing DOES and what values are accepted BEFORE you randomly start messing with them.

Put the values on 4096, 7.

The Nexus Mod Manager looks good! Now to dig through some mods and try them out (currently playing vanilla Skyrim).

Hi. i edited my ini file with these values:

iShadowMapResolution=8192

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=32

fGrassStartFadeDistance=14000.0000

And outdooors it runs fine but when im indoors i take a dramatic framerat hit. i get like 5fps indoors. How comes?

i have a overclocked i7 920 do at 3.8 and my 480gtx clocked at 875mhz.

Fiddling with grass settings also slaughtered my FPS. Don't do it basically.

Just installed Nexus Mod M to add the Jswords mod to the leveled list, very easy and clean manager so far, came along way since the Oblivion software.

Heres the swords, best weapon pack out and probably will be for ages http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1002

I just looked at the fotm winners on Nexus, I don't understand why so many people like that FXAA injector mod, In the video and when I installed it, its way too saturated and contrasted, I ended taking it out and installing one that only adds a tiny amount and looks much better.

Has anyone installed SKSE and SkyUI and got it to work properly with Steam? I don't want to Add it as a new game as I don't think it'll track achievements etc.. :/

I notice a dll and steam loader but not sure if they are being picked up...

EDIT: Seems to be working now, odd!

Better Landscape Skyrim

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4863

I'll be keeping an eye on this one

This Mod replaces the Sykrim Ground Textures.
All Textures are in 1024x1024 size, i see no great benefit from using 2048k
other than reduced Performance and stabilty
I try as much as possible to keep the original Art Design

ohhh, gonna check this out. Skyrim HD although better than vanilla isn't too great for ground textures. I agree with this mod maker that upping the res on textures to 2048k doesn't necessarily make it look better.

reduces texture tiling

Grabs my eye, one thing I hate about snowy roads etc is crappy box tiles sticking out,

I do like the Triss armour from Witcher 2

Yeah can't say I'm impressed by the serious HD landscape textures anymore. Half the time they don't load properly leaving me with a very low res blurry ground until the HD texture pops in.

Realistic Water textures has had some good updates

Version History:
1.9.1 Remade water surface textures as uncompressed files for less compression artifacts
1.9 Special thanks to SLuckyD for instructions on modifying the worldspace
-----Manually replaced water in worldspace.
-----This means: lakes finally separated from oceans, made calmer but still share same texture; most outdoor bodies of water now have correct texture
-----Fixed Bethesda's jittery light reflections in some rivers, interior puddles now less flat looking, slowed down puddle water movement, fixed puddle seams
-----New river foam textures that more closely resemble vanilla with 4X or 2X original resolutions
-----Created basis for improved current direction in oceans and rivers (you won't see any changes until the CK is released however)

RWT is looking really good now.

And I'd just like to recommend Sky UI to anyone who hasn't got it already. Great improvement!

Nutella33 · 6 Jan 2012 at 05:15

am i right in thinking the LAA memory support was included in a patch and i dont need to do anything beyond making sure im fully updated?

looking forward to how the mod scene develops for this game.

NeoVo · 6 Jan 2012 at 06:19

Good thread, definitely adds more un-required playability to the game

Awesome. I was soo close to removing RWT coz of the jitter, and waterfalls not showing properly from a distance. Will update this weekend.

Correct

No need to use the LAA mod if your game is fully updated.

thank you

the mod manager is excellent.

does it download the SKSE that is required for skyui as well? or is that a seperate download?
