xmacrosx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've sucked it up and will be purchasing a beast of a PC (I hope!) in the next week or so. My current PC is decent but if I start installing HD mods my Skyrim screeches to a halt, and I haven't thought about using ENB's because of this. So I really don't know much about them other than they seem make make Skyrim all that more vibrant. So question is Where do I start? What ENB should I install since there seem to be SO many to choose from? HD mods, any thoughts? While I'm posting here one more question. Windows 7 64 bit home premium, pro or ultimate? I've been reading around and for a gaming computer the opinion seems to be go with windows premium. Is there any real reason for gaming purposes to get Pro or Ultimate?

ArtMurder Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have windows 7 64 bit premium, and a lot of common glitches people report in games never happened to me, the only issue I've ever had was bioshock not having sound, and all I had to do was run it in the right compatibility mod. I can say this though, some graphics cards don't like ENBs, despite the fact that my graphics card can run the best games on the market on the highest settings (metro 2033 gets an even 60 FPS on even the most intense moments on ultra-high) As to where to start, no where, any where, doesn't matter, all ENBs vary from computer to computer, one may look one way for one and work great for it, and it may look horrible for another. Really all you can do is try all many of them as you can, until you come across one you can't bare to uninstall. As for 'HD mods'.... well there is no simple 'HD mods', there are HD texture replacer mods, and I have installed over 70 of these in my game, and still occasionally come across some very low-def things in my game. The best ones to start with however are... 2k textureshttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607Static Mesh Improvementhttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8655Flora Overhaulhttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/141Lush Grasshttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3288Lush Treeshttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3385WATERhttp://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13268Book of Silence (armor)http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanaagain Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I am running a mid range PC (i7, gtx670FTW, 12RAM) and found win7 home premium to work fine. As far as graphic mods go, may I suggest you explore using the STEP teams recommendations. Just go to skyrimnexus and search "step" and you will get it. edit; opps, wrong year... sorry Edited February 5, 2013 by elanaagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
