Skyrim!

[Advent]

Picture time! :awesome:

In case peeps didn't know, here's where I got my avatar from.

The end of the imperial questline.

And, a shot of the Elder Scroll I managed to get.

I played a **** load of Skyrim today.

Just putting this out here.


INSTALL

ALL

MODS


Go through the top 100 mods and pickup all the facial/body/armor re-textures. Characters no longer look like the offspring of a human/ogre coal miner. Water retexturing, local re-textures are back up, weapon re-textures. Mother of god, its beautiful.

Pictures?

Skyrim came well equipped with items to give us protection for both mage and warrior, but they lack in fashion. Even for a person with no taste in fashion would like to see a new color every now and than.

If a person wants to take the route of modding the game, their is one cardinal rule you should follow. A rule that will keep the modded game fresh but still connected to the world of Tamriel. In retrospective, stick with bows and swords, forget about the gun mods is what I'm saying lol. Try exploring a dwemer ruin with a history and you see your follower dressed up as a doll; in my opinion, that breaks the immersion factor almost immediately.

How many mods you install is a question I leave to you, but if you don't want to change anything in the game, just it's looks, I'd suggest downloading a texture pack. However modding can be a tricky business when it isn't functioning the way it should. Like for example, you download a completely new set of armor (non-replacing armor set). It's working great, except you can't upgrade it at a workbench for some reason! This is an advanced problem that can be fixed by the right people, the one's who've learned the user-made modding tools (until the official SDK comes out from Bethesoda). Very common problems can be solved by:

• Mod Load Order Utilities (ex. Nexus Download Manager)
• Object ID Viewer (ex. TESnip)

I'm currently running 26 activated mods and over 15 texture mods ranging from the environment to the humaniod body. There are more available for me to download but I plan to stick with my playthrough's strengths. Anything mage related. Like I've been looking for a good cosmetic replacement for a Master Robe of Destruction, the only one available replaces the robes with Nocturnal's Robes. I know how to do this in the SDK but not on TESnip, blast!!

I get my mods from Skyrim Nexus. Share your sites!

Circlet armor page
=============
Once the SDK comes out, I'm making my own house. I wish I could make a quick-travel point to a place in Blackreach, because where else would you like to live. (Fast Travel example image 'Linky')

If fast travel is a problem in Blackreach, I plan on making a home in this place:
Found both while exploring; a small cabin or house made of stone would do.

Skyrim nexus also has a handy "mod manager" that will download, and install/uninstall all mods, as well as updating them regularly for you.

Circlet armor page

Irayo

I've got all three mods I'm using so far from the same site.

When it comes to mods, I prefer not to actually change game mechanics or major additions of new things, just improve how things look (and fix the bad menu system ).

Not bad. Is that the jagged crown?

 

[Apollo]

Yes it is, it was a part of a mod meant for adding things to the smithy. It has slightly better stock armor vses the heavy dragonplate helmet because of it's materials. Kind of reminds me of the Witch King's helm.

I just can't stop listening to this

When it comes to texture mods, especially for Skyrim I think of something like this.
Though granted, some of the texture mods improve vegetation, clothing/armour detail and buildings.

The quest No One Escapes Cidhna Mine, was pretty interesting.

 

[iron_jones]

I lol'd.

 

[Pa'li Makto]

I have seen a Rainbow Dash Skyrim mod around.

That's kind of true , but I limit myself to a few. I have the helmet one now, as well as well as a couple of others, but I don't go around installing one for everything.

 

[Pa'li Makto]

That's the best way to go about it, same with Apollo.

Was the helmet mod for changing armour values?

 

[Apollo]

LOL a pony. That made my day.

No, the one that replaces them with circlets so as not to hide my character's face.

Also, some people like cheese, it seems:

^ Win!!!!

Good news, the man just finished the mod involving the circlets. See for thy self.
Made a image. The modder got lazy and didn't tell (or show) the details.

Ah I see.

Man that's cool. I remember seeing the cheese wheels go down the mountain.

Anyone seen this?

Apollo: That's neat, though the leather circlets still need a bit more work from whoever made the mod.
