Tekken 3. Spam dat Gon with the Wind!

Were there any issues during the upgrade? Nope.
What new features did you enjoy? Cortana was fun(mostly because of the Halo reference,) but got annoying quick.
What platform did you install Windows 10 on? (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc) bit.ly/azterixrig
How is the driver support? My GPU drivers, Headphone Drivers and Razer Synapse all updated. No problems there for me. Will probably take a while for the rest of my drivers to upgrade.
How is the security? Ran a .bat virus and keylogger(hidden behind a .zip,) .bat got the usual warning(sure ya wanna do this bro?,) while the keylogger went unnoticed but didn't register(my fault.)
How is the privacy? Not Tested.
How is directx12? (3D applications that actually support it) I got Cinebench, 3D-Mark, UE4 Five Demos-- all were worse rates than my Windows 7(Main) drive, Same(give or take 2-3 fps,) as my Windows 8(Testing,) drive. Altogether fine.
How is windowed gaming? Fine. Counterstrike, Skyrim, FNV all ran at similar rates to Windows 8(lower than fullscreen.)
What games have you tried and how well do they perform? STested Skyrim, CS:GO, FNV. All ran at similar rates, though i feel like load times were longer and there was more stuttering-?
How well does Cortana perform as a digital assistant? Never using it again, just for uselessness :confused:
How is the new Edge browser? Better than Internet Explorer, however Chrome is still preferred(faster.)
How well does Windows 10 manage heavy CPU and RAM usage in comparison to Windows 7/8? I enjoy the new preference's customizability, however still prefer Windows 7's simplicity.
Is Windows 10 worth it, for a pc gamer? Nope. Went back to my main SSD(Windows 7,) and never looked back :blush: .
Got any benchmarks? Post them below.

One day i will publish one of my mods that is not too personal (not one of my OC's is what I mean)
I also download tons of skimpy armor and have nude mods. Not for any pervy reasons, rather as an artist I find the human form beautiful. I want my characters to be perfect and customized, every bit of them.

It could simply be that a lot of the ladies around simply didn't answer the survey. Many people just come for the mods, and may not pay attention to the news, so may not have seen it.nivea wrote: *Sobs* Well at least I know there are a few of us out there lol.

All the front page female mods are only annoying to me because they are not balanced by front page male mods. Fix that and it might help the situation.CaiusN wrote: I agree with Taerie that for me, it's somewhat off-putting to have few to no male front page mods to balance the female ones. I don't mind the skimpy clothing per se, but without male stuff to match it certainly gives me the impression this is a bit of a boy's club. It's not like the system cheats for this either, guys and gals often prefer to play dress-up with female characters. This is more a concern for managing people's first, second, and third impressions so they stick around to share and develop their talents.
So, thinking productively: "hide adult mods" is pretty narrow, but having a '-skimpy' tag setting as the public default for front page views would be a good test to see if it pulls more repeat users. Better tag integration would allow me to search for armor with meshes for both genders, but without avoiding skimpy.
Well I guess I'd better start contributing the sort of things I like in any case. That's the beauty of mods.akparkison wrote: Happy female user here. And not shocked the number for women players was so low. Honestly. ;)

Well, considering majority of most popular titles featuring brutal males with weapons (guns or swords) killing as a main goal (like in 90% of video games) making dumb sexist jokes on the go, or female character as main protagonist in waaaay too skimpy looks attracting young horny males...
Fightning, racing, building or sports don't usually attract females, that's why SIMS is n1 on fem gaming list, which is sad, really...
That's the gaming industry today.Saerileth wrote:Fightning, racing, building or sports don't usually attract females
You know, that's actually part of the problem right there - public opinion telling me and other potential gaming women that we have no business enjoying any of these things. Maybe you should start blaming the media for brainwhashing parents into believing that girls need barbies while boys get trucks and squirt guns, instead of condemning gaming companies for making great, successful games. ;)BlueWarlord wrote: The gender results were not a total surprise.

My only concern about any nude mods, male or female, is the amount of kids that play this game, and come here looking for mods. For the sake of not getting sued, you'd think the "adult" mods would only be visible behind a account creation. I know people lie all the time about ages on the internet, but at least if they HAVE to sign up to see naked elves, you have some defense if a suin' happens.Socratatus wrote: Just the reality. males are far more into games than females, despite what the feminists say.

Other than perhaps to indicate what percentage of women who are active here, and answer surveys, are also mod creators, or the like.
A better idea might be a more extended survey (as in, over a longer period of time), in order to catch people with a wider range of schedules. At least a week would be needed to get a broader picture of things, and even then, this being Summer, the percentage of those still of school age is likely to be skewed higher.
If the only idea of the survey was demographics, I am sure there is some way for those in charge to access statistics on what percentage of account holders have declared themselves to be what gender, or what age in their profile (as well as those that decline to state). The site also tracks when an account holder was last active, and whether they have posted any mods, so if they wanted to limit the results to only currently active members, or only mod authors, that could be done as well. I would be curious to see those broader statistics myself. But I believe the actual point of the survey was to get opinions of what the site is doing right and wrong, and what users in general thought should be improved, and how. The demographic information on the respondees was, I think, provided more as an interesting aside then as the intended results of the survey.Amiachan wrote: I'm a girl.

Why not just play a direct adult game instead of turning this game into a porn/dressing/character simulator? Each their own. Just my thoughts.
Still adult mods are lore friendly, the children in the game didn't came out from nowhere. Nor should it be the lack of prostitution, gambling, profanity or generic adult pastures. TES games are so childish when compared to Witcher series.Mofakin wrote: Jaxonz is a female? Now that is a surprise. Given all the technical Mods she created I could have sworn she's a male.

Just take a look at
http://msmagazine.com/blog/2013/06/13/actually-about-half-of-gamers-are-women/
As of 2013, about 45% of gamers are female. I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's increased in the past two years.
There's an appalling amount of sexism, and comments about domestic violence, rape, and how "Women shouldn't be playing video games, they should be in the kitchen LOL1!1!1!"
Note: Their words, not mine. I don't agree with it at all- like I said, I AM a female gamer- I'm just bringing it to light, please don't flame me. ;)Winjin wrote: Didn't even have time to complete the survey, was basically away from anything with electricity for the past few days)NickSheperd wrote: I don't know what planet you're living on.

Nude doesn't bother me. Skimpiness does. Many females pay attention to style and sense of fashion. So if you have a nice armor and just cut out the crotch area and tights, it may attract a male, but is otherwise completely senseless and not aesthetically pleasing anymore. It just looks like they forgot to put on their trousers.
This makes me really sad because skimpiness for its own sake ruins some good designs.
I'd also like a tag that you just can hide it in the search. Saves much time.tiwa44 wrote: Lamproly, it already exists:
In the account options popup, click on "block content", then you have a whole bunch of things you can choose to block, such as skimpy stuff.

IMHO, ESO just isn't worth the hefty price tag... I signed up for it during it's first release and was unfortunately dissapointed ;( It follows alot of mmorpgs and is fun ti play, but doesn't have the feel of an Elder Scrolls game. I had a fun time playing it with my two friends, and it was obviously an enjoyable experience- im not gonna lie. But it doesn't live up to the likes of Skyrim and Oblivioooohn. I'd say if you do like mmorpgs, and have that kinda $$$ you can buy it. Make sure you have friends to play with, it makes things 10x funner-- just make sure you join the same pact xD The email problem can be solved eaasily- open a new gmail account ;)
Thats just my 1.25 cents but uhh, hope it was helpful ;)

Thanks for wanting to improve the site =D It definitely needs a facelift. Please keep functionality at the top and don't remake it into an IOS 7 situation;) Thanks in advance.

Welcome Paul! :)

Haha, doing well thanks ;) How are you?

Hmm, well maybe it would help to try and make sure your headphones are working-- try using them with another device(iPod, Computer, iPad etc.) If they are able to function on these devices, then It's your software. Either attempt to reinstall your audio drivers or try it on a clean boot of Windows OS. ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 ) You may want to try the Razer Surround tool(I use it,) it will both enhance your gaming experience and allow you to select a device input. The most common name for you Headphones are either, well, "Headphone" or your make and model.
If the problem persists, you can also try method 2:
To select the default audio device, refer these steps. Select the headset as the default.
a) Right click on the sound icon in the Notification Area and select 'Playback devices'.
b) A new window, called Sound, will open. In this window you will usually see the sound devices for playback, which are currently present in Windows 7.
c) Select the device you want to set as default and click on the Set Default button. When you are done click on OK to save the current configuration.
d) To select which device should be the default for communication and which device should do the rest of the work, click on the small arrow located on the Set Default button.
e) If clicked, the arrow will show you the two options. Select the device for communication, then click on Set Default - Default Communication Device.
f) Select the device for all other types of playback and click on Set Default - Default Device
g) If you want the Default Communication Device and the Default Device to be set on the same sound device just click on the Set Default button instead
Good Luck and Hang Tight! Remember to take a step back, take a deep breath and look at it from a fresh perspective. Ask people for advice ;)

Dear Nexus,
My names Azterix and Ive just joined the Nexus Mods site for the first time. I love graphic design, 3-D modelling, texturing and animation! My favorite games of all time are all things PC(except for Legend of Zelda =P,) RPG(Skyrim, Indie Games) and Competitive(DotA 2, CS:S/GO.) Im no stranger to PC modding and am looking forward to what paths this site will take me on; the adventures,trials and errors that await. I am mainly here to mod my Skyrim and Fallout series games(as Im sure 80% of you are here to do,) so here come I! I hope to have fun and improve my gameplay, as well as give back to the community thanks a lot for listening to my little introduction, and cya on the boards!
I remain,

I would recommend you get either W.A.T.E.R., Realistic Water 2, or Pure Waters, 2K textures, aMidianBorn Book of Silence, SMIM, Realistic Smoke & Embers, Verdant or Grass on Steroids, Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Project Optimization, FXAA Injector, Realistic Lighting Overhaul, Climates of Tamriel and an ENB of your choice. If you like, you may add city modification mods( JK series, Dawn of etc.) Some small Tweaks(Unique Uniques, etc.) Besides that, (graphic-wise,) you should be all good to go! :blush:
Good Luck and Happy Modding!

What FPS do you currently average on Skyrim? I'd say you could hardly run the vanilla game :sad: . You can use mods like Project Optimization and StableUGrids to load, in conjunction with Imaginator(or: I Can't Believe it's not ENB!,) Realistic Lighting(best not to install Natural Rain with it,) Flora Overhaul low-res and Lush Trees/Grass. Try a few of these out and see if they break your system :blush: .
