bouldermiami Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hey y'all last time I tried to mod skyrim, years ago, and I failed/had mild success. I'm pretty unsavy at this, and I was hoping you might be able to help me out :) I have a beast of a machine, and I'm looking to make it work. I've played around with a few mods, but they still aren't even taxing my setup, and I wanted to know if there was a list out there, or if someone could help me make one, of the absolute 10/10 highest graphics set you could make. I don't know off hand the differences between two super popular mods, and if you could just point me to the ones that are superior between them, that'd be great :D Climates of Tamriel vs Vivid Weathers What kind of mesh should I be looking for? Do I download a handful of different ones to specifically enhance individual sections of the game, or do I get an over-arching pack? (if I even know what meshes mean..) Do I get the over-arching pack and put others on top? Help me Obi Wan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscrawl Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My suggestion would be for you to just browse and try different things out. Keep in mind that any character you do this on should only be thought of as a temporary character, not your forever character. Installing and then uninstalling mods is normally not advisable since you can break your saves and cause problems, but if you don't care about the save, it's not an issue. Mods are very much about personal preference. People can tell you what they like, and what they think is the best, but that doesn't mean you will like it. One example I can give is with texture overhauls. There are some that are 4k, like Skyrim 2017, and those surely would tax your system. But you may not even like that overhaul and might instead prefer Noble Skyrim, which only goes up to 2k. Using Skyrim Flora Overhaul is a different look to using a separate grass mod + another tree mod. ELFX lighting is different from RLO lighting. Vivid Weathers is different from Climates of Tamriel. The examples are endless. Many Skyrim players have spent a lot time -- years even -- getting their mods how they like them and to suit their needs. But if you really want a guide to just do all of that for you, you can follow the SEPTIM Guide. I'm not a fan of using it, because of all those above reasons, but it is essentially what you want.
