LisuPoland Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Hey there everyone! I just got myself a nice gaming laptop with HD 7970m and finally I am able to try out Skyrim. I bought Skyrim and Dawnguard DLC on Steam. I've checked Nexus for Skyrim mods and wow! - amount of mods is just stunning and confusing at the same time. Witch mods would you folks recommend for me to download via Nexus Mod Manager ? Generally I am interested in high-res texture/new items/gameplay/weather/NPC's mods and alike or even other mods Skyrim community considers a-must-have.

FiftyTifty Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 *Shamelessly recommends self-made mod* http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25814 - Greatly expands on existing NPCs, allows them all to be recruit able, supposing all other conditions are met. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16266 - Allows for a more diverse number of NPC followers, due to expanded voice types that are valid for followers ; in conjunction with the above mod, it allows damn near everyone to be recruited, should the NPCs like you enough. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12933 - Allows you to have up to 100 followers at one time.

ilikecheese1337 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Deadly Dragons AND Deadly Dragons-Armory: Adds new dragons and makes dragons actually dangerous and fun to fight - in the vanilla game they're ridiculously weak for being apocalyptic mythic killing machines. You can customise the difficulty for yourself ingame. Castle Grey: Who doesn't like massive castles to call their own? Realistic Lighting with Customisation: Makes light much more realistic, with dark nights and dungeons, bright days and sunlight, and in the next update better and more varied weather. Comes with a realistic snow mod. Enhanced Night Skyrim: Stargazing FTW. WATER water and terrain enhancement redux: Makes water look better. Phenderix Magic Evolved AND Apocalypse Spell Package (different mod authors): Better and more powerful spells. Phenderix also has the Skyrim School of Witchcraft and Wizardry mod which is heavily influenced by Harry Potter. I find it immersion-breaking, but many like it. The Paarthurnax Dilemma:MINOR SPOILER ALERT:In the Main Quest, a dragon who spent centuries meditating to overcome his inborn evil nature helps you. The remaining members of a dragonslaying order demand you kill him. This mod lets you tell them where to stick it and carry on with the dragonslaying group's quests.MINOR SPOILER ENDS. Ultimate Follower Overhaul: Expands Skyrim's follower system and let's you have more than 1 follower. If you have Castle Grey as well, don't use the UFO horses, it causes conflicts. SkyUI: Skyrim's user interface was designed for consoles. This mod makes the UI much easier to use on PC, but requires Skyrim Script Extender, which is free but is sometimes a bit of a hassle to download. aMidianBorn Book of Silence: Makes armours look better. Skyrim HD: I don't personally use this mod because, while my PC could probably run it, it impacts performance and loading times quite severely and I hate clunky gameplay. Still, if you don't mind having an FPS hit, this mod is for you. EDIT: On looking into this mod further, I found that there is a lite version that doesn't impact performance as much, which I now use. There's very little difference to my eye between the full and lite versions. Edited October 24, 2012 by ilikecheese1337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisuPoland Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks a lot for advice on mods folks! If you think of any other mods to install, then please post them here!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godlikeueber Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) if you want an overhaul try t3nd0s skyrim redone / skyre its a great new experience for a fresh replay, a complete and stable compilation of gameplaychanging mods which fixes a lot of lameness. if you dont like that go for deadly combat, or maybe duel. there are some mods which help against overpowered crafting. all in all id recommend skyre so that you are ready to go without constantly fuddeling around. immersive hud compass tuner sky ui - this is not an option but a necessity!!! run for your lives (peasents flee from dragons) crimson tide (blood) dance of death (more killmoves) monster mod (lots of new enemies) better world map intelligent head tracking there are also music overhauls tell the ppl here which kind of character youd like to play thats how i choose my mods for the playthrough Edited October 22, 2012 by godlikeueber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
