Does anyone have any advice about playing Steam version of Skyrim on two platforms? I usually play Skyrim on my PC at home. Recently I've been playing on my girlfriend's laptop when I'm at her place. It's fine when I play games like Dark Souls between these two rigs. But it's a bit of a challenge when it comes to Skyrim because maintaining the mods is quite a nightmare. What I've done now is to install Nexus Mod Manager, but use my dropbox folder as the mod installation directory. So any mods that I dl can get synced to both machines and the installation log files are also kept on dropbox. But when done this way, the install info shows the mods installed on the last platform played. So when I play on the other platform, the installation info isn't necessary accurate, especially if I update mods or install new mods. What's a good way to go about ensuring that the mod setup on both machines are synchronised?

In terms of actual combat, my most enjoyable combination was ACE + Deadly Combat (Adept Difficulty). Deadly Combat makes it harder to reach armor cap, and ACE gives a bunch of debuffs depending on situation (eg not having weapon drawn, flanked). This created a very "Dark Souls" feel to the combat where a single mistake (like going for a strike instead of blocking, power attacking instead of normal attack, turtle blocking instead of timed blocking etc) can be the difference between win/lose. I remember killing the Draugr Boss at the end of Bleak Falls Barrow felt worthy of a high-five. But in terms of character progression, SPERG perks seem more imaginative than ACE. With ACE + Deadly Combat, I look forward to fighting, but leveling up is quite boring since there wasn't a lot of creative builds to spend perks on. With SPERG + Deadly Combat, I look forward to leveling up because I want to unlock more perks, but the combat doesn't feel as intense. EDIT: I managed to get ACE realistic fighting module + SPERG + Deadly Combat to load properly, so we'll see how that goes.
