Ovennamedheats Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 How does one decide which mods to use? How does one determine if the desired mod will work on the machine? I know I don't want a bunch of followers and I assume at most I'll use maybe no more than 50-75 mods but who knows. I'm looking to get a new GPU; either the Nvidia 760, I think it is(whichever is the last one to offer XP support or the AMD Sapphire 380 Nitro, I think is what it is called. I'll post the other components I have a little later. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddagg Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Only you can decide what mods you want to use and that will be based on what you want to get out of the game for your own satisfaction and entertainment. However, I will comment (if I ready your post correctly) you will be a bit limited as to what you can use based on your machine and graphics ability. I started Skyrim with a hand built (powerfull at that time) XPpro machine and all was good. But over time, the mods grew with the technology and eventually I had to be a bit picky with what I installed. Overdoing it resulted in display lag and slow mouse reactions which was not amusing by any means (I got killed lots). My 10cents worth, be causious of mods with high texture resolutions, keep to the generic 1024 textures. Believe me, I have two laptops, one with a 1080p display and one with a 720p display. It is only on the 1080p laptop that textures over 1024 make any appreciable difference, and even then it is only slight. If you want to "play" with mods then my suggestion would be to use Mod Manager. It is great for just this very purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
