Deleted5094879User Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 So I got a 980 Ti Strix and I want to ENB and retexture skyrim better then 1k skyrim HD textures. I'd like a pack or packs that change everything so I don't see a nicely textured wall then a normal texture blurry item next to it. gpu 980 ticpu i7 4790k16gb ram6gb vRam
iXenite Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) You get the 2k varients of Skyrim HD. There also is Tamriel Reloaded HD, and Skyrim 2015 WIP by Pfuscher. For other textures, like Dragon or creature/NPC textures, weapon textures, etc. I would just look those up independiently. Also if you find any textures you dislikes, it's highly likely someone has a retexture for it. Hodilton has great showcases for not only ENB's but retextures as well. Also a great reasource.

Govilku Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 If I knew where you lived I would plan a robbery. But seriously, I recommend Vividian ENB alongside Enhanced Lighting and FX for some really nice colors. As for texture pack I can't recall the name to the more recent one but I go with the hallmark Skyrim HD 2k (Has a 4k variation I believe), and don't forget the Project Parallax to really give it some juice. I would go with Pure Weathers for compatibility. Don't forget to tweak your enb for everything to really come together.This set up gives you, in my opinion, the best Fantasy/Cinematic effect. Cinematic Fire Effects 2 HD tagged alongside Immersive Spells will get your particle FX looking real good. If you REALLY want to take your time and get Skyrim looking pretty you can try DynDoLOD, it's a really really big LOD overhaul that crippled my GTX 970 alongside Open Cities Skyrim, which makes the long installation process longer. As for water I'm favoring Realistic Water Two and don't forget the ENB watercolor add on!Can't forget about Skyrim Flora Overhaul and I heard of something called Grass on Steroids although that may not be the actual name. Google is your friend.I've already mentioned it but Open Cities Skyrim with Jk's City Edits, I think it's merged into a patch now.Finally. Skyrim De-LARPification will give your weapons that pointy feeling, realistic man, it goes well with everything.I use all of these with no issue although I scale back the options cause I run 250 mods. Happy modding!
Deleted5094879User Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 I like to use Purity, so it looks like Vividan is my only option atm lol.
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I like to use Purity, so it looks like Vividan is my only option atm lol. Yeah, Enb preset authors use either CoT or vanilla weathers and lightning most of the time. Lately I have tried Rudy Enb 2.0 NLA and I must say it's perfect for gaming. You can really feel the distance of objects. It makes everything more realistic with its toned down palette. If you get mods with highly detailed normal maps it will nicely bring out all the bumps on the surface.

iXenite Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I like to use Purity, so it looks like Vividan is my only option atm lol. There is also PureVision ENB. It's SkyrimTuner's RealVision ENB preset redesigned to work with Pure Weather by Laast (the creator of Purity). According to at least one user of this ENB preset, it does appear that Purity is compatible. PureVision ENB:http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55829/?
Deleted5094879User Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 According to the texture list provided above could someone please inform me which mods I wouldn't use if I use Purity? Thank you Direction for the other ENB to use I'll try that one after looking at the others.
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) According to the texture list provided above could someone please inform me which mods I wouldn't use if I use Purity? Purity compability info:https://www.evernote.com/shard/s548/sh/ab2957ac-d59b-4da2-bc5b-ebefa950d35a/074dc76df4c9afd0f90f1d19ab49ddd9 Conflictinng files:-ELFX Enhancer (interior module should work)-Expanded Skyrim Weathers (edits regions)-NLA-Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2 (unless there is a patch)-True Storms (unless there is a patch)-Tamriel Reloaded Mountains - also included in Tamriel Reloaded HD (If you're going to use Purity or other mountain textures, TRM meshes will conflict. TRM works with Pure Waterfalls and should be installed on top of everything else in case you like it more than other packs.)-Realistic Water Two and Watercolor I am not sure how Pure Weathers (stand alone module) patches work with Purity, since it was reworked slightly for all in one release. In best case scenario only the master file dependencies would have to be edited in tes5edit. Edited September 13, 2015 by BlackRoseOfThorns
Deleted5094879User Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Audio for skyrim works there is a patch.So is all of Tamriel Reloaded not useable?True storms, Realistic water, Expanded skyrim weather I'm not using, but I don't think I am using NLA nor what it is.
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 So is all of Tamriel Reloaded not useable? It looks like it's perfectly fine as long as you don't want vanilla/purity mountains. Vanilla ones are without regional stone formations and parallax. You can also copy/paste only TR landscape textures without mountains (Data/Textures/Landscape/Dirt01.dds, etc). Don't forget to set FixParallaxTerrain=true in enblocal.ini.Purity textures (with exception of water) are optional, not mandatory. You should just install TR HD full and see if you like it. Then get NoTrees&Grasses.esp replacer and check it out with Verdant grasses and SFO trees. Pick what you like the best :smile: Why I prefer TR Mountains: Tundra Rockshttp://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a410/BlackRose_of_Thorns/03_zpsvks0xqx0.jpg I don't think I am using NLA nor what it is.
