Hi there thanks for the reply! Now that work's done for the day I'll do some R&D on the internet.

Hi guys, My system is struggling to play Skyrim maxxed and I want to upgrade it over time by spending about £200 a month. I've posted my specs below. Please can you recommend the order in which I should upgrade and some reccomendations? I'm not really a techie and will be getting a local guy to do the work. Please bear in mind I'm in the UK so what may be cheap in the USA may be very expensive in Ireland :) Thanks! Specs are - Processor Intel® Core i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz 7.5 5.9 Memory (RAM) 6.00 GB 7.5 Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 7.7 Windows 7 Home Premium System -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Model X58A-UD3R Total amount of system memory 6.00 GB RAM System type 64-bit operating system Number of processor cores 4 Storage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total size of hard disk(s) 931 GB Graphics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Display adapter type ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Dedicated graphics memory 1024 MB

Hi folks, I'm going to give the S.T.E.P. enhancements a try on a clean install. Could you please answer a couple of quick questions? (1) Does the monsters and monster wars addons work with it? If so....at what point in the install process should I install them and where should they be in the load order? (2) Does Deadly Dragons work and if so again when do I install it and where should it appear in the load order? (3) Does Moonpath to Elsweyr work with S.T.E.P. and when to install and where in load order? Thanks very much in advance for the help - much appreciated.

Hmmm strange....I'd played for 3 hours with no issues....then added the enhanced needs mod. Was in Whiterun and the game immediately exited to the desktop. Is there a log file anywhere that could point to what the issue is?

Well I'm too tired after work to post a big list of mods, but so far I've - Official HD Pack HD Fixes Unofficial community patch Better females Some hair packs Monster Mod Monster Wars Increased needs (the one that notifies you of hunger / thirst etc) The weather / survival mod (you can die of cold / exposure etc) ENB series and about 20 others! ...so far no crashes / problems...and the game looks amazing.

Thanks! I will check these out... ...I just installed a bunch of mods and used BOSS to sort them....have played through a couple of hours and no crashes or issues and the game looks freaking awesome! I'll post a list tomorrow after work so you veterans can give a quick glance down and let me know if you spot any glaring incompatibilities! Diablo 3 is now dead and will not suck any more of my time. Can't believe I didn't start playing Skyrim earlier!

Hi, I'd appreciate a bit of help.... I played Skyrim a lot when it came out and then let it sit on my hard drive. I've got an "ok" gaming rig by today's standards...not uber. I am looking for an easy to install mod collection that would - 1. make crafting more hardcore i.e. make it impossible to level up by crafting daggers! 2. make overall experience more hardcore (even on master level the original was too easy). 3. add "variety" for example maybe new quests, monsters, items, locations... I'm not a graphics nerd and dont think my pc could handle graphics "upgrade" packages. Also I don't have the time to spend hours tweaking and jumping through loads of steps to install loads of updates. Please help point me in the right direction - it would be really appreciated! Thanks
