Deleted3507349User Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) 1: SkyUI2: Categorized Favorites Menu3: HiRes Legible Road signs4: A Quality World Map - With Roads5: BraveDog's Skyrim Character Helper I use HD-2K LITE textures, and a few other things, but they don't really contribute to the "make-or-break" notion. The five I have listed shouldn't even HAVE to be mods (I'm looking at YOU, Bethesda). Honestly though, I'd much rather have a true drag-and-drop menu system with graphics that don't look like they came from some futuristic sci-fi movie. Seriously? Grey-and-black menus?! In a sword'n'sorcery RPG?!? Might as well have aliens wander around beeping at you too.....oh, wait...

thompsonar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 In no particular order 1. SkyUI2. Wars in Skyrim3. Deadly Dragons4. Jaysus, Third Era, or some type of weapon addition5. Some yet to emerge Magic Overhaul mod For number 5 I'm waiting for an all in one magic scaling, spells from oblivion/morrowind, reperked mod. I see some promising ones around but am waiting for the real "winner" to emerge. I'm surprised how many people have textures and such in the top 5. I'll take gameplay over looks any day, but then again I would probably feel differently if my computer could handle the HQ textures and crazy ENB.

Axisdeath Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Really mainly Tytanis's ultimate mod mainly, and some other great weapon mods too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrndZero Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 1. Dohvakin Hideout2. CBBE - :teehee: 3. Midas Magic4. Various Armor replacers5. Weightless ore & ingrediant hack.

Hurmferd Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) SKYUI (couldn't do without it)Better Sorting (makes dealing with inventory a LOT easier)Deadly Dragons (dragons should be feared)Realistic Lighting with Customization (a dramatic improvement in how the game looks without suffering an FPS hit)Realistic Water Textures (makes a noticeable improvement)There are a number of other mods that really make a difference for me, but the 5 above are my "must have's". Special mention for the next 5:Categorized Favorites Menu (a superior enhancement to the favorites menu)A Quality World Map - With Roads (I only use the main roads option, but even that greatly aids my travel plans)Shadow Striping Fix (fixes a real nuisance)Complete Crafting Overhaul (and related mods, to fix the naming and logic errors in crafting)Wars in Skyrim (for an extra dab of unpredictability and difficulty)H.

babis8142 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 4. dual wield sprint animation replacer (with swords and magic in one mod if I could find one otherwise just dual wield weapons)5. Categorized favorites menuIs #4 this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1987 ? I was hoping it was first person...And I agree with #5, so helpful! And Jaysus Swords! This is the one I have that's why I listed it. No one sprints like in the original game that was stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
