  1. Please send me a message if you can confirm this. Thanks.
  2. Do you change the timescale? I was having trouble with my saves when I changed the timescale.
  3. I want to get some perspective on making my skyrim look as good as it can without crushing my fps. I have all of the more popular HD textures that are included in the Texture Pack Combiner mod. I'm currently running Project Reality - Climate of Tamriel for my weather and lighting and using the SkyRealism ENB. Here's the catch: I have Crossfire 6950s and cannot run the dof that comes with SkyRealism without disabling Crossfire and killing my fps. I have to replace the enbprepass with Matso's 2.0.3 to use the dof. I can run this setup in the high 20 - low 30 fps. I also have the mod that allows you to turn off dof and ssao in game by hitting CTRL-F12 and ALT-F12. When turning both SSAO and DOF off I can get close to 50 fps. My personal preference would be to be in the 40 fps range. I also get micro-stuttering when using the ENB that I don't get when I turn it off using SHIFT-F12. So a couple of questions: 1. Is there any other method to using the bokeh dof with Crossfire? 2. Has anyone used RCRN or Realistic Lighting with an ENB and what are the performance hits? 3. Is there some other preferable mods / customizations that would get me the same graphic quality as Project Reality + ENB? I'm constantly turning DOF, SSAO and ENB all together off and on during gameplay to get acceptable performance. Maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm curious how other get maximum graphics quality without the performance hit. Thanks for the replies.
  4. After logging probably too many hours playing Skyrim, I'm looking for ways to make my new character have a unique experience. After seeing some of the amazing new armor and weapon mods, I thought it would be cool to only receive these awesome items after completing major steps through the storyline. I had retextured the awesome Ebony Armor redone in gold and added a dragon logo on the chestplate. I also imported an awesome two-handed axe from the Oblivion mod Myths and Legends and retextured it gold with a dragon mesh on the end. I thought this would be an awesome reward after finishing the main quest. It goes for other quests - The Black Sacrament armor for completing the Dark Brotherhood, The Wolf Armor Remix for completing the Companions quest, etc. I think they should all be in custom chests and placed in location that can't be missed. I would prefer this method of getting unique armor and weapons over getting my smithing to ebony level so that I can craft. My concern is future mods that may change the interior / exterior cells where the chests are placed. I would also like the weapons and armor to level up with my leveled character, so that they don't become too powerful. Or maybe they can only be upgraded by smithing at certain levels. Anyone know if this can be done? What do you think of the idea? Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
  5. I have an i5 2500k and a Radeon HD 6950 2gb graphics card. I have many graphic mods installed and I can maintain close to 60 fps. I turn shadows from ultra to high (this really improves performance). I also run in windowed mode and use the borderless window mod. I was having stuttering problems with full screen mode. Hope this helps.
  6. Is there currently a thread for MODS not listed in FCOM helper? I would like to assist anyone working on this. I have many what I call good MODS that aren't included. I modify the f_order file myself. One of the things that annoy me about FCOM helper is it doesn't recognize some of the "alternate" esp files. Like I prefer the "closed mouth version of the Corean MOD, but FCOM helper only recognizes the original version. So if there is an active thread, I would like to participate. Thanks.
  7. Excellent working Load Order: http://jlspain1.googlepages.com/loadorder For some strange reason and if anyone can tell me I'd appreciate it, I'm getting alot of random crashes when I install Unique Landscapes and the patches. When I deactivate all of them, game runs fine. It happens at exterior loading locations.
