KurganSPK Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 After a six month hiatus or so I started a new Skyrim build last week on a new gaming PC . Now nearly 10 days later, I've finally settled on a build I actually plan to play through - a Dragonborn Gallery focused completionist build with 255 mods exactly. I had several false starts where things seemed fine and then fell apart around level 18 or so... the funny thing is I don't seem to mind needing to start over - it's almost become part of the "fun" for me and modding - pushing the game to its limits - has become the "game". Anyone else? I do admit, though, I'm getting real sick of clearing Bleak Falls Barrow! I actually axed mods like Frostfall, Wet and Cold, and Real Shelter for this build as they are just incredibly taxing and I wanted to use some different heavily scripted mods for a change. I'm currently set and at level 10 on a new character and don't intend on messing with the game now - if I can manage that I'll be surprised. Steam says I've played Skyrim around 2,000 hours now - egad! But in my NOOB days I let the game run for 30 days to reset cells all the time... so it was running for hours without me playing... lol. What hour count are you all at? Question: When The remastered version comes out will it auto update on Steam and hose my build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: When The remastered version comes out will it auto update on Steam and hose my build?the Remaster is a Standalone game that is separate from the old one. What hour count are you all at?Steam says im at 151 hours. my computer though says i have logged almost 2000 hours at 1894.8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 also i dont typically leave my computer to wait several real world hours... i just hit the wait button and spend a few minutes to reset cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurganSPK Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 also i dont typically leave my computer to wait several real world hours... i just hit the wait button and spend a few minutes to reset cells.yeah - before the no more boring wait mod I would hit the wait for 30 days and it took a long time. So I 'd leave it running while I had dinner, etc. .... that's great that the remaster is a standalone game - whew. Be cool to play it and compare it to my modded build.

Bhaeron Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I also just restarted my Skyrim Experience. After installing S.T.E.P. Extended, some S.T.E.P. Packs and a small selection of my favorite mods I am now about 10 Hours into the game. I try to avoid fast travel and enjoy the scenery. After all the hours I put into modding I don't want to rush through the game. Will be my first time to play both Dragonborn and Dawnguard DLC.Regarding Your Post-Title I must say, that it felt exactly that way before. I couldn't play very long in the past until I would just TAB out of the game and browse the nexus for stuff I wanted in the game. Back then I definetly spent way more time modding the game, than actually playing the game. With my current build that is different. I am tweaking minor things here and there, but overall I really enjoy my gaming experience so far.That beeing said, I am eager and a little bit scared for the "Skyrim: Special Edition". I hope that PCs can make the most of the 64bit Engine.All the Best to You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) The Real Time waiting is for SKSE to clean your Save..... while you don't add stuff to it, & to reset your Cells & Spawning Times. It OLD SCHOOL (Pre Save Cleaner) save management stuff you Newbies. :geek: Edited October 6, 2016 by PeterMartyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response. I do agree with You. My concern is not that the game won't run on my rig. I'm more concerned about it beeing optimized. Things like FPS, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
