marcg12 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi everyone! I am new to the world of modding. I just played around with Oblivion for a few weeks with some mods and really enjoyed myself. I am now going to break out my Skyrim for a 2nd play through, probably with a higher difficulty this time, and was wondering what Mods are an absolutely MUST for someone like me getting into modding Skyrim. I'm interested in graphical enhances, gameplay tweaks, and maybe some new quests? I have Dawnguard installed, and will obviously get the skyrim patches first. I know some graphical mods are heavy on the specs, so here is my system:(I run the base game with no mods on max settings) Intel Core i7-3770k (Unlocked, but not tweaked yet)16GB RAMGeForce GTX 560 1GB Video650W Power SupplyLiquid CPU Cooler Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!

Eckss Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi, I expected quite a few of these 'What Mods' questions so I saved this answer so that I can answer consistently each time without leaving any out: I play with a lot of Mods and I've tried and rejected many others. I use all of these (among others) and I'm sure they’re all Must Have/Worth Having.
