I have the same exact issue. Maybe it might actually be that dark, but the monitor isn't calibrated correctly? Even though that makes little sense because when viewing on the same monitor it should look the same.

What is SFO? I'm horrible with these abreviations haha Skyrim Flora Overhaul xD I mainly use it for Expanded Diversity, simply makes the plant life in skyrim more diverse, pretty, and interesting. Ahh alright I use that too. So here is my revamped list of mods in the order that I installed them: Ruins Clutter Improved Cinematic Fire Effects 2 HD Static Mesh Improvement Mod Skyrim HD - 2K Textures - Skyrim HD v1_5 FULL - Landscape, Dungeons, Towns, Misc Skyrim HD - 2K Textures - Skyrim HD v1_6 FULL - Riften Vivid Landscapes - Dungeons and Ruins with SMIM Compatibility patch Vivid Landscapes - Volcanic Area aMidianBorn Caves aMidianBorn Landscape 1 - amidianborn landscape one -2k- Models and textures aMidianBorn Whiterun Detailed Rugs Skyrim Flora Overhaul Lush Trees and Grass Natural Grass Texture Floor (Absolutely stunning visuals with no performance drop) TreesHD_Skyrim_Variation High Definition Ivy - 2K Realistic Water Two SkyFalls - Animated Distant Waterfalls Vivid Landscapes - Rocking Stones and Mountains Parallax by Aron Vivid Landscapes - Cliffs and Creeks Moss Rocks Vivid Landscapes - Tundra Moss Revised Finer Dust Realistic Smoke and Embers and then just some stuff like College of Winterhold Retexture, etc. and then some gameplay and audio mods along with the Realvision ENB and RLO I'm now down to 93 mods :)

What is SFO? I'm horrible with these abreviations haha

Ahhh alright well that makes sense. I agree that skyrim does still look great with very little mods! Basically what I did was installed the small texture mods first for stuff like weapons, sacks, carpets, etc. and then slowly added more to fill in the textures that were missing from the other mods to fill in the empty spaces. It worked out pretty well and I encountered very few problems while compiling them which have since been fixed. Your screenshots look awesome though and I do appreciate your reply! I'm a mod junkie so I will definitly be messing with the current list. As you can see a lot of the mods I have are gameplay and sound mods so they aren't all visual :smile: I personally use AMB for my armor textures. I really do wish someone would put together an all-around texture mod that hits everything in the game, hat doesn't cause insane lag and CTDs. I think there is one, but as it replaces so much stuff with 4k texture (when I normally avoid anything over 1k) it makes it basically unusable. D= The only real gameplay mod I use is requiem, and mods that compliment it, like locational damage, and immersive creatures/weapons/armors. I find that having to many gameplay mods or armor/weapons mods is unbalancing, but I have to basically stop myself from exploiting my game, without even thinking about it I will make the most broken characters imaginable if I can! XD Sound mods are great, as well, I use a couple, the most subtle sounds can have a very strong effect on your game. and modding skyrim can be funner then playing it! =3 I'm thinking about uninstalling all of my texture mods and just installing the ones that you llisted along with the RealVision ENB to see how that looks. I'm getting some stuttering now along with some wierd mod conflictions.. So all you are using for texutres are Tamriel Reloaded, 2k Textures, and Realistic Water 2? and in what order did you install them? Also are you using AmidianBorn Weapons AND Armor? I'm mixing and matching about 6 different weapon mods, Serious HD, 2k Textures, Sexy Villages and Towns, all Sexy Cities, along with a bunch of misc mods, 4k textures. I do really like my Pure Waters so I'm defintly going to stick with that. My favorite water mod yet! EDIT: I was just looking at Realistic Waters Two and it looks pretty amazing. Might have to check it out especially since it was tested with an ENB. what is ULO? One more thing: Do you use SMIM?

I'm sorry, just a little confused on what you are trying to say here. Care to elaborate?

Anyone know the answer to this?

Hey guys, so after playing TESO beta I decided to play through Skyrim again. I have modded the game before, but this time I wanted to go BIG. I have a decently high end computer: Dual 7950's @ a conservative OC of 1050/1550 along wtih an Intel Core i7 3770k delidded @ another conservative overclock of 4.2Ghz. Everything is on water. Two MCP655 pumps pushing distilled through the 7950's and one MCP655 for the CPU. Anyways, I am running a huge list of mods. Here is an image showing all of them. Hopefully its readable. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/7ccdd73a-2b4a-43ae-bf0b-3cbef3732bab_zps12bf75fa.jpg Anyways, my question is this. These 7950's have 3Gb of memory. I thought that when you have more than one card there is still a total of 3Gb of memory available and that it doesn't double with two cards, but MSI afterburner shows that my memory usage is between 4800Mb and 5200Mb. How is that possible? My fps is almost always capped right at 60 and I rarely get any lag. Here are a couple pics that I took of the results of all the mods. I don't use an enb because I'm not a huge fan of them, but if someone would like to suggest one, I would be happy to try it out! http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/TESV2013-11-2623-55-05-81_zps5852322c.png http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/TESV2013-11-2623-55-23-01_zps3b494a4f.png http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/TESV2013-11-2713-36-57-49_zps5aa27f60.png http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/TESV2013-11-2711-06-20-82_zpse056e2c5.png Thanks for your time! EDIT: HOLYYYY CRAP I just downloaded the ENB RealVision and I'm getting around 45fps, but the game is still very playable. LOOK AT THESE VISUALS! http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o711/RavageTheEarth/TESV2013-11-2717-07-15-55_zps733f0630.png

Far Cry 3 and Battlefield 3 still work at 80+ fps on ultra settings without the slightest stutter. This really sucks I've had nothing but problems with a few days of quality playing in between. Looks like its time for another re install.

Yes I definelty disabled all the plug-ins. It was running at a constant 60fps before with v sync on. My gpu specs are 1200mhz core and 1650mhz memory 3gb GDDR5 so I don't think memory is a problem for me.

So I just tried re-installing Virtu MVP and that didn't work. Also, I have tried to deactivate all the plug-ins and that it still crashes right when it tried to start. I don't even get to the bethesda screen. FML I have had NO LUCK with modding.

So everything has been working just fine and today I go to play and the game keeps crashing at start-up. Idk why its doing this the only thing I have changed on my computer is that I deleted Virtu MVP, but I was playing with it disabled anyways. I have't installed any new mods I''m so aggravated right now idk what to do to solve this and I really don't want to have to re-install. Here are my plug-ins could you guys take a look at them and if you don't see anything wrong could you give me some common reasons for this problem? I don't have SKSE installed and I have never installed any ENB mods. Thank you in advance I have had a horrible night and just wanted to play some Skyrim to get my mind off of it and I can't even do that. :facepalm: This is copied from BOSS.

I'm really looking for some 2k textures. I see that the sexy series are 1k

Hmm that looks interesting ill ckeck it out thanks! Some more responses would be great.

Hi guys. I am looking for the best town and cities retexture mods that are out there. I already have ones for whiterun, solitude, riften, and markarth. Could u reccomend mods for the ones I'm missing and include a link to the page please? It would be GREATLY appreciated!

Just as the title states. It would be great to have some 2k pillars so my eyes on't hurt when doing puzzles. Do it up!!!

Hi guys, so I put together my new gaming build yesterday and everything runs awesome. Im getting at least 75fps without mods and around 60 with a bunch of them , but when I activate Realistic Lighting Overhaul the games crashes after the Bethesda splash screen. Can anyone tell me why? Does this require SKSE? oh yea also, I can't find the folder that the .exe file is in. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!! ~Josh

Just got my 7950 and I got the boost edition! 960Mhz core clock instead of 880Mhz which is stock. I'm going to Microcenter on Saturday to pick up the rest of the stuff for my build so if I have any questions I'll ask after I'm up and running.

Ok thanks a lot. You are definetly correct, I am looking into this way too deeply. I guess the best way for me to learn is to just do it hands-on. I really do appreciate all of your help and I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone by my ridiculously stupid questions haha. I have learned a lot and I think I will feel comfortable starting to mod for the first time. and LargeStyle, send me a message with a link to your mod when you are finished. I am excited to try it out and endorse it. I am going to microcenter to pick up the rest of the parts for my build on friday, so I'll be up and running by then. Thank you to everyone and I will definetly update and post some screenshots once I get up and running. Much appreciated -Josh

Yea I have absolutely no idea how this whole BOSS thing works is someone could tell me how to use it that would be great. I think I have figured out the SKSE thing. I just extract it to the main directory and then use the SKyrim_loader.exe to start the game when I go to play. I have been searching and searching to find out how to use BOSS with no luck. I just want to know how to use it and how it works with NMM. http://code.google.com/p/better-oblivion-sorting-software/wiki/NewMembersGettingStarted I just read this and it makes no sense in my brain.

Definetly skirt!! Looks great!

Sorry for having 3 posts in a row with different questions. It would be really helpful if you could help answer them. Thanks guys, as always. So I'm reading http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Load_order_recommendations it says: Oblivion.esm - this MUST be the first thing in the list. All other .esm files All .esm files MUST be before any .esp files. Unofficial Oblivion Patch Shivering Isles.esp Unofficial Shivering Isles patch Weather/Environment/Sound Mods Minor Mods/New Items/Houses/DLC's (Post-Completion) Note: any DLC patch should go directly after the DLC it changes, no matter where the DLC is located Major Overhaul Mods (FCOM, OOO, MMM etc) Any compatibility patches for the major overhaul mods Mods that specifically conflict with overhauls and need to take precedence DLC's (Pre-Completion) Quests (these can be moved up after completion of the quest) Compatibility Patches/UOMP/Merged Leveled Lists Special handling mods - Streamline, Deadly Reflex etc. Bashed patch (if bash is used) I'm guessing this applies to Skyrim as well. So first would come Skyrim.esm Is that the main .exe file?? Next would be the unofficial Skyrim patch. Then would be Climates of Tamriel and all the mods that would go along with that, correct? Now does major overhaul mods mean things like 2k textures? What is an example of a compatibility patch for a major overhaul? Am I reading this right? You don't have to answer all of those questions, if you could just answer one you would help me be one step closer to answering all of these.

So I extract everything in the zip folder into the main directory? and do I launch Skyrim using the SKSE_loader.exe everytime I go to play the game?
