Skyrim - Mod Detectives Thread

I hope this is the right place to put this.

 

I am looking for replacers to make the game look good. This includes NPCs and objects. However, I don't really want mesh replaces for bodies unless they stick close to the proportions of the original NPCs (I don't want to laugh the entire way through skyrim wondering how the women walk upright) I would also prefer replacers that don't require a ton other mods to be of use.

 

I have the original Skyrim, no DLCs so, I can't use any mods that require those. I have looked and searched, but the few I found seem to require a lot more mods than just that one to make it look like the screenshots and one I found that I wanted, it seemed like it changed some of the NPCs races and stats. (no reason was given) I want NPCs replacers that make the males especially look better. (I found one Khajiit replacer, but not sure if there are more out there)

 

I don't want HD replacers as I am not sure my computer can handle them, but just little tweaks to make the game a bit more colorful and enjoyable rather than how it is now (oh, look more grey). Clothing texture replacers would be GREAT for this.

 

I found a set of tweaks to the game that I am going to use unless i get something better (can't remember the name, but they added something like 30% more saturation and 20% more contrast to the original textures making colors more vivid while still remaining true to the original) but I don't think the author did all the textures that needed it.

 

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but any help would be appreciated. I have searched for these, but find all sorts of body replacers or retextures that require body replacers. Never did find armor or weapons replacers.

 

Was just reminded of something. Is there a mod out there that gets rid of the 'kill cam'? I REALLY hate it when I blast a spider from halfway across Skyrim because I HATE them and don't want to get close, and I get that ****** kill cam showing me every single death twitch.

Hey, For the longest time I've been looking for a mod that unbinds my left hand when I have a one handed weapon in my right. I have absolutly no need to block and my unarmed attacks are better then most weapons I have, so I want to be able to use a dagger in my right hand for sneak attacks, and just plain attack with my left hand once I enter combat. I've tried a number of mods, none of which is just allowing me to attack with my left hand while having a weapon in the right. (I thought duel parrying skse version would work but it didn't)

(And yes I know I can just use the dagger in my left, but that makes the animations worse and takes away my chances of a kill cam when I back stab someone. Plus a for roleplay purposes my character is right handed so it would make more sense to hold the weapon in the right and use their claws for the left)

So does something like this even exist? I've looked all over Nexus and google. It's not easy as most people like blocking so most of it is about adding blocking options as opposed to taking it away.

kittybrod: I use Alt Navetsea Seamless for females - it includes meshes & textures for bodies & faces in one mod, you don't need anything else for it to work, & you have options on musculature & breast size (the females in my game look slim & fit with "normal" proportions!). For men I use Better Males Sundracon FVersion & YoungerFacesMergedWithMenByGeonox, again you don't need anything else & you have options for muscles & body hair. I don't have a high end computer & it handles these mods no problem. I also like NPCs cleaned up as it makes everyone look bathed. Bijin Warmaidens, Bijin Wives & Bijin NPCs make significant females you encounter in the game look beautiful, & Males of Skyrim does the same for significant males. I hope you can get use out of some of these suggestions :smile:

Also, you probably already know about them but CoverKhajiits is extremely good, as is Ethereal Elven Overhaul, & if you want to improve your female orcs there is a mod called (I think) Orc Race Overhaul - it is no longer available on Nexus but if you are interested in trying it pm me & I can direct you to where to find it.

Thanks, I will check those out. Yeah, the coverKhajiits one is the one I found, but wasn't sure if there were others out there.

 

I am mainly looking for males (I like eye candy :smile: but wouldn't mind some of the females getting an overhaul, so I will check out the others as well.

 

I will wait on the orcs as again, I would prefer both male and female done. :smile:

 

Okay, the Better males and faces looks good, Thanks :)

 

The Males of Skyrim looks good, but I don't like facial hair and it puts facial hair (or actually makes it more obvious that it is facial hair instead of a 5'o'clock shadow) on my two favorite characters. Plus it says in the description it requires the HEarthfire DLC. Still Deciding on the Bijin Women. Makes them look good :)

 

Thanks again for your help :)
