Thanks for that answer! I had the same problem and it does solve it.

Well I am alternating Skyrim Winter Overhaul, the default mode, and Summer Skyrim (did not try it yet) based on the Tamriel calendar. Just google up "tamriel calendar." Also the mod "A matter of time" will tell you what season it is. This approach kinda works ok with the survival mods. Even though I have to wear much more stuff than the NPC's (I use Winter is Coming and the cloak mods). I remember how great Daggerfall was. It changed seasons by default. The landscape would become snowy in the winter. Aside of the NPC behavior this is how I get closest to simulating seasons.

I am getting the same thing. Damn dude, why is it so that anytime I find people asking about the same problems I am having there are no replies! :)

Having a similar problem...

banana? :(

Hi, I think it may have started after playing around with the FOV but I am not sure. As you can see in the video below, after shooting an arrow its copy appears on the right side of the screen for a split second. It does not interfere with the game but is distracting. It only happend in first-person. You can also find my load order below.

Thanks lordofthecastle1 and Boombro! lordofthecastle1, I will go ahead and explore the mod profiling feature you mentioned. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Currently my game runs with 221 mods. There are mods that I'd like to install but they require Dawnguard. I got nothing against Dawnguard and can buy it but I am worried it may mess up my game because all these years I installed the "no Dawnguard" version of many mods and I don't remember which ones they were. Worst case I can check each mod and try to revise them. But I am worried (as a non-technical person) if downloading Dawnguard can change some key fundamental resources, scripts, etc., which may cause problems given the previous alterations done by so many mods and texture packs. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! - PS: Oh by the way, the same question applies for Hearthfire :) (I have Dragonborn)

There is deadly headshots http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31822/? but it reguires Dawnguard. I use locational damage: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12615/?

I concur. Especially mountain climbing.. I mean running side to side like a crazed chicken is simply stupid. Elderscrolls games stopped having the climbing ability after Daggerfall.

Hi! I think it would me great if someone who wields modding powers made a mod where the compass is round instead of bar-shaped. Even though I use IHUD, I can't bear the current compass.. it makes me feel like I am Terminator or something, just not medieval enough.

Thanks all! I would never have solved it.

I see now. Thanks so much for the explanation velve666!

Here is what happens: if I delete skyrimprefs.ini from my documents/games, the game launches in a very small window but with great performance. When I put skyrimprefs.ini back into the folder, the game launches in fullscreen but with low FPS. The case with the high performance is even higher than when I had just installed the game and did not run any mods. I am now reinstalling skyrim to see if I can attain the FPS in the former case. (I was running the game with around 150 mods). Is there any obvious thing that I am missing here? Or do you guys think it is simply the mods that messes the FPS even though even the initial clean install did not run as smooth as the "small window-no skyrimprefs.ini case? Thanks!

Hi, Is there a mod that partly removes the visuals from concentration destruction spells? So for example when you use sparks, you can still see the electric charge in your palms, but when you use the spell, no sparks radiate from your hand. However, you still see the impact on the target, while seeing nothing between your hand and the target? Thanks!

The real enemy of the Thalmor is the Empire. The Empire just has to tolerate them because the Thalmor forced their terms after their war with the Empire. The empire has to strengthen up in order to kick the Thalmor out and reclaim lost territories. The Stormcloacks are just helping the Thalmor unknowingly. If Skyrim breaks away the Thalmor (Aldmeri) will probably claim it completely! You can still join the Imperials and kick Thalmor butt unoficially as you please.

The Stormcloaks are racist and fascist terrorists. They keep saying stuff like "Skyrim for the Nords" and many other xenophobic slogans. No. No matter how it may have been deteriorated, the Empire must stand. Divided we fall! Skyrim belongs to the Kajiit as well and Elsweyr belongs to the Nords. They can travel without visa, use the same currency and speak the same language everywhere in Cyrodiil. The Empire is not treating the Nords any different than its other citizens. These racist bastards are just too idiotic to see that they will be trapped in Skyrim if they break away whereas now they can live in anywhere they please in Cyrodiil. And how do they treat those poor Dunmer! Separatist *!%&'s

I know that there is a mod for the armor of Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit An Unexpected Journey. I think it would be great if other dwarf armors from the movie could also be in Skyrim. http://www.nerdlikeyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-dwarves.jpg I think especially Bofur's and Fili's armors would fit Skyrim really nicely.

Hammerfell may have more geograpical variation. On the other hand Elsweyr would have more character. They could make an Elsweyr game where about only half the population is Khajiit or something.

I loved Daggerfall. Morrowind was a disappointment for me. Because I just expected a "Daggerfall II" then. But later I got to appreciate it. Though Morrowind felt quite depressing most of the time. Since Daggerfall, the game that I like the most is Skyrim.

I thought Bethesda had completely abondoned the old tunes from before Morrowind. It was so cool to hear one of the Daggerfall tavern themes in Skyrim. The Bard was playing it so softly that it was unrecognizable at first. It gave me goosebumps you guys, seriously.. I think there is more "hidden" Daggerfal tunes in Skyrim, I must just listen :)

I don't find those faces "ugly" . Actually in my opinion most of those ladies are quite pretty. I simply find them in harmony with the land and the conditions in the TES universe. The TES universe after all, is mostly a fantasy version of the medieval times (you can see that a bit in Morrowind too). Just go to a small village or take a look at people who work under the sun, rain, snow etc in any country. Look at their faces. You will see that they are rugged and quite good looking actually. True, it is a fantasy land and things are supposed to be different. But "Realism" can still exist in the form of convincing consistency with the atmosphere. How can you run into a girl that looks 12 years old who camped last night out in the wilderness with a ton of make-up? I know it's fiction but tell me if that won't be a "realism" killer. The game won't feel immersive after that. Just think about how many mods are there for Oblivion that adds this type of girl children with huge boobs and armored bra, carrying a sword the size of a cannon and be thankful that Bethesda did not lean to that direction!

:)

The Elderscrolls games are such a haven from the popular culture where people try to sell you sex and "beauty" all the time. I want to feel "real" when I play Elderscrolls and Bethesda surely allows me to do that. And with all due respect, I think that is precisely why there are these complaints in this thread. Please, leave us one nice thing, one unspoiled production where looks remain as they should be in reality.

Yep, turning 25 does that to you :) You are no longer in your early twenties.. but from looking back from my 31st year I see that I was wrong to feel bad about it. Physically nothing changes... Happy birthdat BTW old man :)
