WeepyDevil Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Well, I'm reinstalling Skyrim again, and I've got a whole bunch of mods. However, I was wondering if there's any hidden gems I've missed, so I figured I'd just asked people on the forums. The title pretty much sums it up; if you feel like talking about them, post your top 10 favourite mods, possibly with a description of why you think they're so good.

Mattiewagg Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 INIGO - A follower mod. Absolutely amazing. He is quest-aware and just fantastic. Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2 - A great sound overhaul for Skyrim. Everything sounds much more real with this installed. Cutting Room Floor - Reintroduces several quests that were cut out by Bethesda (for no apparent reason, since they're completely finished) Cloaks of Skyrim - Adds cloaks and capes to the game. Looks awesome. Better Messagebox Controls - Fixes the messagebox controls so they're easier to use. Better Dialogue Controls - Same as above, but for dialogue. iNeed - A simpler approach to needs. Only hunger, thirst and sleep. Simple and intuitive. Minimal HUD for Skyrim - The best HUD mod out there (I think). Doesn't have some bugs that iHUD has, like flickering crosshairs. Completely customizable. Enhanced Blood Textures - Overhauls how blood looks. Splatters on screen and other effects. HALE - Another horse retexture mod. I prefer it to Enhanced Horse Skins, though they both look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieDynamics Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) SkyUI: Mandatory interface for keyboard/mouse users. Categorized Favorites: It lets you customize your favorites menu. You can even create your own categories and set which items will go there. (I had a character with a category just for regular clothing, for example) iHUD: It makes your hud only appear when needed. Great for immersion. Better Message Box & Better Dialogue Storage Helpers: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17574/? <--- Special attention to this one because I feel like it's not getting the attention it deserves. I LOVE this mod. It pretty much allows you to turn bags into real bags... new inventories inside your inventory. It's great to sort your stuff out. Not to mention that it has a script that allows any item to work as a bag. So, for example, if you play with Bandoleer B&P, you can turn those bags from there into real new-inventories. FNIS: Screenshots :) Pose and say "cheese" Tools count as mod? *** Texture Optimizer : It gave me a massive fps boost, and I honestly didn't notice any loss of quality. But don't quote me on this hahah. *** ENB Profile Switcher : If you like taking screenshots, that's that one ENB ideal for snowy places, that other that is great for fiery interiors, and so on.... this tool lets you keep them all. *** Caliente's Bodyslide: Nowadays we have 20.000 body types. So in case that armor you loved didn't get a release for your body type, you can get your hands to work yourself and adapt it for your character.
