Cowboy10uk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi all, I've just built a new PC, and am reinstalling Skyrim. I keep hearing about the fantastic work the modders ave done with this, and I'm really looking forward to seeing their work. However with over 100000 mods out there, where on earth do I start. I would like to get Skyrim looking, sounding and feeling as real as possible. Are their any must have mods that I should start with and build up from there. Any I should avoid or is it a case of going through each one. I appreciate this will have been asked before, I did do a google search but that just brought up top 5s this week. I can't find a must have list so to speak to start from. Any advice would be great fully received. Cowboy10uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunder Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) the sharpshooter enb is pretty cool - if you find it too much you could try out climates of tamriel (or weather i don't remember) :)also watch brodual on youtube - they make cool skyrim mod coverage, or gophersmods -winter is coming-Atvir Dres -the last prince..good hunt Edited September 10, 2012 by Lunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milogrim Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well a lot of it comes down to personal taste, do you want your character to look like a 12 year old girl with a fox tail and a sword the size of a lamp-post? So aside from the different stroke for different folks factor, if you want you textures to look better, better lighting, better magic and water effects, Id start with STEP. I can't over recommend it. The STEP team will hold your hand all the way threw, all you need to be is a good reader, and in the end you'll have an amazing looking bug free game, maybe even learn a thing or two. After that you may wanna choose a body re-placer and some armors to go with it, or some mods that nerf or super charge combat difficulty, all personal preference. There's something for everyone here that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy10uk Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for the replys guys, gonna check out sharpshooter, and just looked at Step. That looks exactly what I need to start out in here. Thanks again, here's to long and happy adventuring. Cowboy10uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milogrim Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Your in for a treat dude. I remember when I stumbled on to here some years ago, felt like a kid in a candy store. Some amazing folks around here too, a lot of talent, a lot of giving and asking for nothing. I'd like to add that whatever mods you pick, if I where you I'd stick with them threw the game. Adding or removing mods mid-game can be done, but isn't easy or a very good habit. Also treat every mod as a possible problem, ask yourself is it worth it? Maybe at first you might wanna try every mod you see and that's fine, but plan on starting a new game, like a complete wipe of Sky after you've had your fun testing and choosing. Another tip, there is a whole other creature on this site, pic-posters. Check em out, they will often tell what mods they are using to get the look in their pics. Read read read, everything. Good luck out there and be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
