CROSSF1R3 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'll be starting Skyrim tonight for the first time in years, new video card allows me to max out the graphics and I can finally enjoy the game. I would need as many recommendations as possible on what Mods are a MUST have. Here is what I got so far: SkyUIFrostFallHD 2K TexturesClimates of TamBetter Night SkyEnhanced BloodImmersive ArmorsImmersive WeaponsStatic Mesh ImprovQuality Road MapWater Redux Play style: Combat focused with very little magic, healing and light spells for the most part. Mods that I plan on getting: Sneak ToolsWet and ColdLighting Overhaul---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any suggestions? :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikecheese1337 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Requiem. Thought I'd get here before the SkyRe people. SkyRe gets a lot of support from its fans, but frankly Requiem is just more compatible, believable, fun and substantial. Requiem's brutal, and not for everyone, but very very immersive and engaging. Also, you might want to pick up Dual Wield Parrying and (though you'll use little magic, it's still worth having) Apocalypse Spell Package, which just had a major update.

CROSSF1R3 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I enjoy more realism. I have a problem with the horses in the game, was looking to add a Mod that improves the look and feel of riding. I've seen a few that seem interesting.

Vaelka Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Duel is a very nice combat mod, and Improved Horse Step Sounds makes riding so much more believable. Also, if you're looking for more immersion, Realistic Needs & Diseases and Hunterborn are both wonderful mods as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrollThief84 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I really liked Bigger Tree's and found it created that alien like atmosphere. Really worth a look imo. Cheer's and enjoy your new play through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirtightSpring3 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Here are a few must have mods in my opinion. Quests:- Moonpath to Elsweyr- Falskaar- Wyrmstooth- Helgen Reborn Followers:- Vilja- Inigo- Hoth Armor:- Aesir Armor (Heavy armor)- Armor of Intrigue (Light armor with a heavy version, male only) Overhauls:- I really like ACE but I have heard Requiem and SkyRe are good as well, pick whichever suits you if you want one. Homes:- Build Your Own Home (if you want a smaller but custom built home)- Sjel Blad Castle (If you want an amazing, giant castle with some customization options) Realism:- Realistic Needs and Diseases- Wet and Cold- Frostfall (which I see you already have on your list) Horses:- Convenient Horses- Convenient Horse Herding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterra Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm on the texture part of this process myself. I discovered quite randomly that almost all of the normal maps in the Skyrim HD 2K Texture mod are hopelessly fubared. Might want to decide if that's any kind of dealbreaker for you. (It seems people mostly aren't aware of it.) SMIM and Skyrim Ultra HD Texture Pack are more promising. (The latter may need to be vetted to see what you like and don't like.)
