Thanks Sopmac45 for your reply! I'm aware of this and i do read every mod page completely before installing it. As i mentioned in my original post, i'm modding my games since Skyrim so i do have some experience doing that. Also, you're correct in that people can't tell what mod i must use or not, but i'm just looking for suggestions on mods that people use and find interesting for a immersive playthrough. Back on the Skyrim forum it was more done then here i suppose. There you had several posts about mod list suggestions where people posted what they believed was "essential" for the game. You could find a lot of interesting mods that you would rarely find on your own. So thanks for the suggestions on several mods, i will check them all out and add the ones i feel are for me! Happy gaming!

Hello everybody! I've been modding my games since Skyrim and have some experience by now but the one thing i always struggle is choosing the mods i want to include in my list. The choices are just too much! I'm now starting my list for my first playthrough with Sim Settlement and i'm looking for some advice or suggestions for mods to add to the list. My PC build is this: CPU: I5 3570K @ 3.4GHz Ram: 16 GB GPU: GTX 1060 6GB I usually play at 1080 resolution and have the game installed on a Seagate Firecuda 2TB Hard disk with 64mb cache and rpm of 7200. I'm very much into "immersion" mods to make the game less "gamy" and more intens. So far i'm including these mods for my next playthrough: - Unofficial Patch - F4SE - Full dialog interface - Sim Settlements (obviously ;-) - True Storms - Armor and Weapon keyword Community Resource (AWKCR) - Armorsmith extended - Settlement Managing Software - craftable ammo - Lowered weapons - Enhanced Blood Textures - Old World Radio Boston - Clean Power Armor HUD - DEF UI - Shadow Boost - HUD Framework - Immersive HUD - Power Armor Movement Sounds (PAMS) - Salvage Beacons (i don't know if they are still needed with the newest SS) - T-51 Advanced Computer System - Valdacil's item Sorting - the Vivid Fallout series for graphic overhaul - CBBE or Wonder Body - Campsite - Better power armor - See-through Combat Scopes Also considering: -Better Settlers - Beantown Interiors Project - Immersive Vendors What i'm looking for from the community is some suggestions on other mods or pointing out some problem mods or mod conflicts that could happen. As this will be my first time with Sim Settlement, i'm not sure if all this will work together. Thanks in advance for all your help!

Oops, my mistake! It's ofcourse EVGA instead of EVGS. But the card looks interesting! And around the budget i was thinking about!! :cool:

I can't find Leadtek here and Gainward is just like EVGA not very populair but it did find some online shops that are selling some of their products. I also found a shop that sells a EVGS Geforce GTX 970 SSC ACX2.0+ Are you familiar with that card? It's priced at ~400 Euro (~440 $) and the shop is close to me so no mailing cost.

Hey Obobski, i was not clear on my previous comment. What i intended to say was that i would see what card is the best and THEN i would see what shop could give me the best price for that card. Unfortunaly i'm living in Europe (Belgium) and the card you suggested is not availeble here. So if you have any other good suggestions? EVGA is not that populair in Europe it seems, not much offering from that brand. I was original interested in the MSI brand but after seeing how many people have complaints about their customer service, it will not be my first choice anymore. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help people! I'm now settled on a GTX 970 for my new GPU. This card will give me a very good game experience for the next few years and when it gets old, the whole system will be aged enough to justify a new set. Now i'm gonna hunt the best price for this card and have a great time gaming :laugh:

Yea, i'm a sweet guy :laugh: And thanks for the early holidy wishes! Hope you have the same for many years to come!! Now, i have been reading up on a lot of articles about gtx 970 and 980, looking up price ranges and availability in my reagion to make a well informed decision. And i kind of agree with Obobski about the future proof thing. I run now a i5 CPU and it's doing great. But buying a top of the line GPU will make it not last longer. So seeing the budget thing, the needed powersupply for 980 and 980Ti (more then what i have installed atm so would need a new power supply too) and the "what's-the-future-gonna-be" situation, i'm settling for a 970. And yes Obobski, i know that Nvidia is not the best at this moment money/value ratio, but i'm using Shadowplay for my own fun and some (very little) Youtube things and i want to keep using that so it's gonna be a Nvidia brand card :blush: So once more, thanks for all the good advice, help and well intended suggestions. I'm a happy gamer knowing that there will always be a better card and a faster PC then what i have, but i'm able to play the games i like the way i like to play them! Have a wonderfull holiday season and happy gaming to everybody!!

Mark and Psijonica, thanks both of you for looking into all of this and giving me some very solid and good advice! I will check out pricing for GTX 980 and 980 Ti and see how far i can stretch my budget. Maybe waiting for a few more months and then see if i can get a sale somewhere could help out. And Psi, i'm allready spending some good money on the wife for the holidays, taking here to a amusement park that we both love for New Year's eve and we're spending what is left of the night in a very nice 4 star hotel :cool: So she will be very happy :laugh: Considering this a nice wrape up of the subject, i once more will say "Thank you" and happy holiday's everybody!!

Are you talking about the Asus 980 or 980 Ti? Because they have about 150 euro difference in pricing. And there is a limit on my budget :blush: The performance gain is not high enough to justify the extra money and as i said before, i have a wife that needs to agree with me spending on the PC :laugh: @Mark5916, unfortunaly i can't find a shop here that can get me that card, so that will be not an option, but thanks for looking into it for me :thumbsup:

Thank you both for your help! So it seems that i'll go with the 970. The "better" performance from the 980 (Ti) comes also with a bigger price and i have to keep my budget in mind. Spending almost 1000 euro on a graphics card is just too much and will not be appreciated by the misses :blush: But since i still game at 1920 X 1080 i will have a good deal with that 970. As the 960 is just the weakest in the list, i'll skip that one (not wanna buy a new card next year as that would hard to be explain :ohdear:). So it's gonna be a 970. Any suggestions on what manufacturer? I was thinking on MSI since my motherboard is also a MSI. But i'm open for all suggestions :yes:

Hey people! First time on this part of the Nexus forums so be gentle with me ;-) I'm planning an upgrade on my system and was looking for some advice for the graphics card. I'm currently running a i5 3570K CPU at 3.4 GHz 16 GB DDR3 1600 Ram GTX 660 Ti graphics card 600w Cooler Master power supply I know the CPU and Ram are good enough for now and the near future but the graphics are starting to age a bit too much to handle things like Fallout 4 good enough. Specially when in a few months the Creation Kit (or what it's called) will be released and the modders can go full steam and release very "heavy" mods. So i've been looking around and reading a lot of articles and reviews for GTX 960, 970 and 980 cards. But i'm still not sure. I'm very into Nvidia cards and use Shadowplay for my recordings (just for fun, nothing serious) but with the 4GB issue with the 970.... I fear that the 960 will not keep up for long anymore (getting a bit older) and when i buy a new card, it should be good for at least 2-3 years. So 970 was my pick but the 4G thing... again, not sure. But the 980 is even more money and is that card worth it's price? So if you have any suggestions for me, it would be very much appreciated! Thanks people!

Really amazing looking video! I can see that you have spend A LOT of time getting this all up and running, i just wished i had the hardware to support something like this :confused: Enjoy your Skyrim Next Gen edition :thumbsup:

I prefer Touring Carriages, and i had not a problem since i used the mod. I love the fact that you can really 'travel' the world and not just skip the whole thing in a dark flash. But that is just me ;-)

A full list of the mods you use can help people here to find the problem. So if you can provide that? And did you use BOSS or LOOT to sort everything?

Thanks for the info AlexZander. I'm gonna give LOOT a try when i finish my list of mods for a new playthrough.
