Hi, thought I'd add my twopennyworth, hi Old gamer, I'm 57 and started gaming last year - Skyrim is currently the only game I can play on my laptop, so I'm playing it for all it's worth! the graphics are a bit crap though, and I am DYING to get into mods, but don't yet know how to put them in, plus I don't think my laptop will stand the pain! Am planning to get a gaming computer soon, I can't wait ... In the meantime, does anyone know whether the snow mods that give you winter all over Skyrim would have a lot of effect on how the game runs? I am not actually bothered about frame-rates, mine are abysmal anyway, but I am more interested in the look of the world itself. I am just itching to have snow everywhere ....
