Deleted472477User Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Since i have a low-end system, I'm seriously considering using files to make it easier for chuggier computers to run the game and not look too horrible. they're here: http://techj.in/articles/all-skyrim-mods-for-low-end-pc-users http://www.gamezone.com/products/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/news/skyrim-mod-allows-game-to-run-on-low-end-pcs My question is, has anyone tried them? How did they work? Do they get along with the latest patches? I just ordered a copy on amazon.com, and I'm so excited to finally play :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yafi Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Firstly. Congrats on buying and not pirating Skyrim, and welcome to PC modding!With the http://techj.in/articles/all-skyrim-mods-for-low-end-pc-users link I can confirm the following mods (based on general feedback) improve performance (highlighted in green): Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Skyrim Better Performance Mod v1.1a Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – ENBSeries Graphic Enhancement Mod v.0097 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Antiallias and Sharpen Effect Mod Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Simple Borderless Window Mod v13.3 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – ENBSeries AntiFREEZE Patch #9 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Skyrim Enhanced Shaders Mod v1.8 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – ENBSeries Patch v0.091 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Realistic Lighting Without Post Processing Mod v1.5 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Skyrim Total Enhancement Project v2.01 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – FXAA Post Process Injector Mod v2.0Running ANY post-processing mods on low-end PCs may cause lag and even freezes and CTDs, it's best to avoid them if you want maximum performance, otherwise take the risk. As for the http://www.gamezone.com/products/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/news/skyrim-mod-allows-game-to-run-on-low-end-pcs link, yes, I'd say that's accurate. You might also want to consider the following mods:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1598http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13049http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted472477User Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Piracy blows goats. I believe in paying for what I get from the hard work of others, and if it's free, that's their decision to make it so :) Thank you so much for all of this! I really appreciate your taking time to help. I will be back and let you know how it goes when I have time to do these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloguy1232 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Just how bad is your system....... I have an Intel 1724 MB GMA (It's built in to the motherboard so I get maybe 750 MB max, and it's on a laptop) and I can still run Skyrim on High Textures and low everything else with 40+ framerate, all I needed was the 4GB RAM patch.

Well, according to Can You Run It? everything is good but the processor, which is only 2 gb single core the rest could make up for it, I think. Defiantly better than the one I played Oblivion on: had a good processor, but the rest sucked. I might have to lower the graphics settings unless I want to do screenshots, possibly, but we'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhegonus Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 ok, welcome to the world of skyrim. i have a decent system, despite having a intel hd integrated chipset which blows. but to sort of circumvent that particular issues, i use a variety of mods to help boost the other systems and it goes some ways to help me play my game, it took a choppy game for me and made it smooth. here is a list of in game mods and out of game mods i highly recommend as i use them and they improve performance. Hialgo's Performance booster Use more Ram - only to be used if you have more than 4gb of ram Game Booster 3.5 <-- extremely highly recommended Ordenador texture optimizer <-- takes a while to complete also, if you have a 4gig+ (recommend 8gig+) usb stick, stick it into a port on your computer, then use the readyboost utility, which helps out on the vram.. these are the performance utilities i use (i use some ini tweaks too, but can't remember the names) and i can play the game very smoothly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
