tomhjen Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hey all of you happy people! I need some tips for mods for a "lets play skyrim" sort of thing. I know i know, there is a lot of them already out there, but i sort of want to try doing something like it my self as a experiment sort of thing.The type of mods i am looking for is more to make the game look good but still keep the computer load low. I will be playing a illusion / conjure mage but i want to keep all the spells etc vanilla. But any mods that make the world, items, people look better i would love to use.I also need a good but free recording software and something to edit with, my thought is to put things out as 720 at first, and if my computer can take the load of recording i might try to do 1080. my gfx card is a nvidia 760 if thats at any help.

DemongelRex Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Try Dxtory. It is what I use. Though you might need to disable the fps counter to make in compatible for ENB.Also Try Power Director for your Video Editing Software. It isn't free...but I do not think that there are a lot of free Video Editors that are also high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhjen Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 cool, will check that out :smile: What about texture mods, ENB's? and other mods to make the game pretty without losing to much FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemongelRex Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Try TPC Driggers App but be careful about the optional textures you use.I use a special tweaked version of RealVision Option A Full for more fantasy and better performance. Tweaking an existing ENB is a lot easier and more effective for specific taste. Quietcool is also very good as well as Serenity.There are a lot of lighting modifiers. There are: ELFX, RLO, ELE, COT, RCRN (Just google those abbreviations with the work "Skyrim" in front. Works every time!) I personally use RLo and COT with some ELE.Try SFO and Unique Grasses and Groundcovers for more flora.Realistic Water Two for waterSkyFalls + SkyMills (if you play at ugrids = 7+ then ignore this one, you won't notice a thing)I use UNP body with no skimpy nonsense, but if you want skimpy there is probably one out there. I use naveasta seamless texture. That is all I can think of at the moment, but feel free to ask any other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Cheap fps wise alternative for ENB would be RCRN or CoT+ELFX+SweetFX.

tomhjen Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Oh my that is a great list of things i might use indeed, thank you so much. Now i wonder one thing, i have some old mods still installed that i don't really care for, and some save games. Any easy way to clean that out? I tried deleting my saves, and any new one still end up saving at high numbers like 200 :tongue: Edit, i forgot to comment on the video link, all i am going to say it made me laugh hehe, some funny moments there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Np :happy: To make clean install without reinstalling remove enb files from Skyrim folder first. Then move to Data, you will only need main files like Update.bsa/.esm, Dawngaurd.bsa/esm, Dragonborn, Heartfire, HiRes TexturePack 01-03, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, etc. Get rid of all .esp files and clean scrpts folder. If something still won't work, remove everything except the listed files, delete .ini files and saves in My Games > Skyrim and run repair mode with steam.

tomhjen Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 running those mods have made my game very crashy, the game looks just stunning tho. I might try a reinstall of my computer and see if that fixes the issues, i have a faulty disk that might be the cause of it. So i am removing that as well to see if that helps, but i can't record anything till i get a new one. Couple of screeshots from the game i took while testing out the mods. http://www.oureuphoria.net/download/ScreenShot2.jpghttp://www.oureuphoria.net/download/ScreenShot4.jpg http://www.oureuphoria.net/download/ScreenShot6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Try this CDT fix.http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/1vjcuw/ctdfreeze_memory_fixes_this_guy_pretty_much/ Also you can see yourself what's going on ingame with Skyrim Performance Monitor. I'm betting it's the dirty install, but it's not a bad idea to clean your system and make hardware check.

tomhjen Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 seemed to fix my crashes, i still can't start recording tho. But i am making a little "test" play just to get the feel how it is to play a illusion mage on expert. I found out i can get Feandal as a companion straight out of Helgen. I am also having a little problem with the recording, been testing the one that comes with nvidia, the shadowplay. But it only records files to a set size that i think is 3gb or so, and my mic volume was very low. So it seems like i need to stitch together the video files, and i am wondering if windows movie makes will be up to the job? And do i go about putting stuff on youtube? do i upload the raw files? If so that is going to be some big files to upload, 5-6 GB if not more. EDIT: after 3 hours it seems like it still does crash :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
