Thanks for the info. In the end I went with Midas Magic and apocalypse, and Phendrix evolved conflicted with my other mods, such as greater perk trees. As for Mo monsters, I downloaded a package that removes the lore-breaking ones so that's all sorted. I would also recommend to anyone else a mod that balances the magic levelling up effect. There are quite a few out there.

This is a problem I just solved (in my case), but I saw there were many people complaining about a similar issue, so I thought I'd add my fix to the information. This fix ONLY applies if you started downloading the Hi-Res DLC but stopped. Here is what I did: Started Downloading Hi Res DLC, realized there were better alternatives and stopped. Had my steam account dissociated with the DLC. Then, certain parts of skyrim stopped rendering properly, mainly fire, and clothes. The fire was blocky, and the clothes were blue. To fix this, you have to go to the skyrim launcher, go to data files, and DELETE Hi-Res Texture Pack 1 & Hi-Res Texture Pack 2. Then restart Skyrim. This solved it for me. If you're still having trouble, try increasing the priority of the task in Task Manager-->Processes TESV.exe. Best of luck. P.S To get rid of the Hi-Res DLC with steam, pause it, exit steam. Email Steam support telling them you want to disassociate the DLC from your account. They may try to refer you to Bethesda (they did with me) but ignore them and tell them again you just want to disassociate it. Once they have confirmed it, go into steamapps (not common) and delete the Hi-Res file you found there.

I have played and modded FO3 and New Vegas from this site, so I'm not exactly brand new to the modding business, but here's my question: I have played (not completed) Skyrim twice on xbox 360 (I always got sidetracked), and I have recently bought it for PC with the intention of modding. Seeing as I have played it, I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on mods to improve the experience. I usually play as a mage/thief character, so any mods with new perks or abilities for those kind of classes would be ideal. Otherwise, just general mods that add in content and generally improve the style of the game. Thanks
