most simple way to resize mods -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/? u also need the new .ini for it -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55803/?

Vividian enb or Tamriel Reloaded ENB are my choices. Vividian is awesometastic in my opinion regarding ratio of graphic / fps + has many options for cot / purity & stuff.

well depends all on your cpu / gpu if u wanna play it and not use it for showcases i wouldnt get any textures above 2048, a decent but not totally overloaded enb and maybe not too much stuff like grass with extreme density AND size (though there's grass on steroids which gives u both without loosing fps, it's just an example)

feel free to pm ;D

Take vividian - looks awesome, near 0 impact on fps, has many choices in the installer already implemented, doesn't needs anything else (though i'd recommend Purity & ELFX at least) +! it uses a pretty new enb so it doesn't needs sweetfx anymore.

well if the texture pack overwrites the Skyrim HD Pack it should be no difference as if you would have uninstalled it. If it doesn't overwrites it u will have some nice vanilla textures back again. But sure feel free to do it if u don't need it anyways! If u want to make something about your loading time maybe better use 2k instead of 4k textures - at least for playing. You can also cut the 4k textures simply by a little tool -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/? it's very simple to use - make a workfolder -> put (in your case) the texture files from the mod in the workfolder. I would recommend to use some back-up files in case s*** hits the fan -> tell tool the workfolder directory at start -> u will see what u need to klick to cut the textures in half. U have to go half every time u use i. For example with 4096: 1. time 4096 -> 2048 2. time 2048 -> 1024 . . . save it and swap the smaller new textures with the old big ones in your skyrim installation - done. BTW you won't see much difference between 2k and 4k textures anyway - and even for 2k textures u need a pretty good pc for the outside areas Maybe... -try another enb (i love vividian+cot - standard installation has awesome effects + barely any impact on fps unlike other enbs which take easily 10-20 fps) -try Grass on steroids - it provides more fps if u choose a minGrassSize=90+ (up to 125) AND looks far better than vanilla grass pattern -try Purity instead of Climates of Tamriel - it has near 0 impact on loading and fps - COT has pretty much. Difference is easily 5-10 secs loading time. If u aren't that much into sunsets like me it's a pretty nice overhaul if u don't use it already. PS: looking at Pfuschers mods i'd say Skyrim HD covers far more than all his mods together. If you simply don't like some roads n stuff maybe try Textures & Parallax from the same dude if u don't wanna resize the textures - i prefer it above Skyrim HD. Fill in with some other Tamriel Reloaded mods he did or something like Vivid Landscapes and you should be fine. But really - skip those 4k textures for playing - it's no difference until u prod your nose into it.

I'm now using Ayleid Sanctuary + Craftable Cloud Storage -> all fine. If anyone else has a housemod that fits my description plz post it though :)

well salted food isn't the best choice anyway but with RND you can cook salt water which u can simply get at the shores in the north to get salt. It should be a load order thing, maybe simply try to restart RND ingame via the mod options (first page left upper side) or reinstall it and put it pretty low in the load order. I guess another mod that changes or works somehow with food interferes. Could be something like Frostfall / any water mod / breakable Bottles / get water from wells or similar stuff

this is a bit confusing - do u want a mod that spawns a container filled with stuff that any of your other mods can provide? I doubt that's possible.

i would recommend aft http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15524/? make nearly everyone your follower & marriageable http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36520/? MVFM http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36913/? works fine together go mvfm ->aft - make nearly.... for the installaion / load order

btw if u want to get rid of the grain effect just open (at least for vividian) with any texteditor in Steam/Steamapps/common/Skyrim/enbseries effect.txt.ini - and search for Enable Grain=true and set it to false - that's all

jeah.....but there's the auto sort stuff in there....^^ Thx for the tip for the vid though

jeah if Lazz would implement simple autosort Ayleid Sanctuary would be PERFECT....i'm slowly thinking of modding it myself but i have no clues about auto sort so far :I There's the jpitner version but it added 2 rooms i'd really like to spare.

u want http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59721/? or http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19446/? (simple version) ...and maybe http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40564/? too

My new choice nr 1 is Vividian enb with Project Reality: Climates of Tamriel http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36067/? and http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17802/? (<- just copy+paste i don't know why it won't work as a link :blink: ) with your machine u can easily choose the high settings. There is an option for real and - for you - shiny fantasy setting. Normal settings already look better than any other enb i have seen (and don't cost a single fps on my machine - i don't know how he did it)...and i slowly saw them all. U have tons of options while installing the enb by NMM or similar programs. looking at your specs don't forget Tamriel Reloaded HD -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61995/? ...or if u're like me and don't like some of the new textures try Textures & Parallax + the single Tamriel Reloaded Files like Grasses / Trees and so on -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46925/? + Enhanced Lights & FX -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27043/? the mix of Climates + Vividian + ELFX is mindblowing Other stuff u might like: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5504/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5388/? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28110/? (don't forget the marvellous snow from the Vividian page. I can't run it on my medium potato but i heard it produces very many wet panties) + don't forget to end with Pure Water LAndscape Texture for the best riverbeds. You find it in the files section under optionals - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1111/? - they don't cost a single frame like every Purity mod If u want more just pm :smile:
