The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Remastered - MODS & TWEAKS

any other huge mods that add lots of quests?

Forgotten City- 8-10 hour quest mod that takes place in one location. Very, very high quality....Easily the best thing you will do in Skyrim. The writing is top class. I can't recommend it highly enough. I rate it as the best mod I've ever played for any game!
Grey Cowl of Nocturnal - took me about 15 hours. Adds a few new locations, including an area about the size of Dragonborn that is very different to Skyrim(an Egyptian inspired desert) and features lots of really cool puzzles. Loved it.
Undeath Remastered - Cool questline that took me about 4 hours. Takes place in areas in Skyrim
Lifeless Vaults - A 3-4 hours Dark Souls inspired dungeon that has awesome atmosphere, good music and epic boss fights. Honestly, I didn't think Skyrim could 'do Dark Souls', but it can, really well. It is the prelude to a much bigger mod and is great fun.
Quaxe's Questorium - Adds by far the most content to the game. I've not done all of it, but it basically adds quests and characters that integrate pretty seamlessly in to Skyrim, including a quest chain to rebuild Winterhold and a new city called Icicle Valley, which is very good and features lots of cool quests. Just the Icicle Valley stuff took me about 10 hours(it is very, very hard too!).
Stonecrest - Adds a village near Riverwood. After a certain level they start offering you quests and you can join a new faction. I enjoyed it and thought it was integrated in to the game quite well.
M'rissi's Tails of Troubles - Adds a new interesting companion with a pretty dark and well told story. I've not done it all, but liked it and took about 6 hours. Think I'm near the end

Those are just the ones I have tried for SE.

Moonpath To Elsweyr was excellent when I played it about 4 years ago, I think it is also on SE now. Also Falskaar adds a very large new area with a storytoo, but I've never tried it.

I'd recommend all of them:)

Sweet, will check out Bruma. Does it need a new save, or is it just a map extension like this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4016/? ?

It is an expansion. It extends the Skyrim map, though it is a separate area...BTW, It conflicts with the mod you linked in a big way(didn't think much of that anyway tbh).

I added it to my game that is over 140 hours in, with over 120 EPSs and I haven't had any problems at all except a conflict with a children overhaul mod that has made children's faces dark.

Also, teaser for the next Beyond Skyrim part-


Gonna be so epic when the whole of Cyrodil is done!

How have I never heard of this mod? Looks great, thanks for the tip!
 
Really enjoying Bruma. Lots of content in this mod. Some nice quests.

It is nice to go back to Cyrodil, even if it's only one county. I always preferred it to skyrim as a setting. Bruma is basically the same as Skyrim though tbh. The mod is basically more of the same rather than something different.... And that works in its favour. The mod would work very well with the alternate start mod, as you could start in bruma, do a lot of the content, then enter skyrim.
 
Returned to Skyrim over the last few days after several years away. Sadly, the experience in 2011 Skyrim was wildly unpleasant. The frame rates just wouldn't hold steady and it was provoking a degree of nausea. :(

Reluctantly I switched over to Special Edition, though without SKSE it's gonna be an odd experience. However 1440p is rock solid at 60, with the GPU/CPU looking like their actually being used and the experience feels so much better. Now to start researching the SE scene.
 
I've re-installed this with minimum mods and actually really enjoying it. I've got it running sweet @ 3440*1440 - 100 fps. It's really smooth, although I need to tab out and back again at the start of the game or else it gets locked at a very juddery 60 fps.

I think an ENB would really set it off. Any suggestions now that the revamped version of the game has been out a while?

Just used LOOT and SSEEdit, and what a difference. So much smoother gameplay!

Took a while to track down all the errors but well worth it.

^ Your Whiterun looks very similar to mine. I'll post a pic in a bit.

How can I find what ENB etc I use?

I use 0.310, but settings etc? I'm sure I have reshade or something over the top..

I wouldn't bother with an ENB tbh.

ENBs are not all that, they were okay in Oldrim because the engine was trash but Bethesda has actually added good lighting and other effects to Special Edition, and all ENBs seem to do is whitewash the game in exchange for slightly sharper looking textures and edges. Interiors can look a lot better with them though... I'm not actually sure which ENB I'm using but it is one of the top rated ones that is compatible with Dolomite Weathers. Those videos on Youtube of 'SKYRIM INSANE GRAPHIX!!!' and the screenshots you can find on Google I am fairly certain are edited and doctored between being recorded and then shared. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've put many hours into modding SE and Oldrim and never got it looking like the game some people appear to have.

@Omaeka agreed, I think I'll stick with what I've got here and forget the modding... Time to enjoy the actual game!

I'm on a mission to complete it this time. :p

That's the video I followed aswell, I think we can all agree my screens aren't half of what this video is. Very strange.

EDIT: Okay,
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1089/

This seems a lot better than the one I was using. Still isn't mind blowing but doesn't whitewash the image nearly as much and retains some of the same ENB features, stuck in Morthal atm though and the foggy ass swamp isn't the best for judging but so far characters and interiors are phenominal.
