It should be easy to nab this on Steam on the off chance you don't have it yet. If you can't run the slightly better textures in that pack, you're not going to get much out of this list. Then, make sure you have the High Resolution Textures downloaded and installed. Pick up the Nexus Mod Manager, another essential tool in modding Skyrim, which will help you more easily download and keep up to date your mods, as well as help you control load order (you need to do this if you plan to use many of the primary mods I will be suggesting) and even launch the game. Getting Started: Essential Toolsįirst thing's first, you need to go over to the Skyrim Nexus, the premiere source of Skyrim mods. I'll go into more depth on how I achieve these goals on a mod by mod basis when I get into the actual list of mods you'll need. I avoid all of the anime bullshit and try to keep to stuff that looks less "special" and amazing, and more functional. I despise anything that doesn't legitimately fit into the lore and tone and aesthetic of Skyrim. I wanted new placed to explore, new characters to meet, and most of all new gear to play with. Thirdly, I wanted some new content to keep me going. Things like the shields and environment textures. My focus for this stuff was improving the lowest points in Skyrim. I have a very beefy PC but Skyrim still isn't the best optimized game. There are a lot of great texture mods for Skyrim, but it's a bit of a balancing act in Skyrim because you've got to be careful not to go too crazy with them, and focus on the important ones. Secondly, I wanted to pretty up the game. He's a warrior, but one who knows his way behind a bow and how to field dress game. The role I was most interested in was a hunter type who could rely on himself to survive in the wilderness of Skyrim, but who took part in the events of the land. I also have a lot of mechanics in mind that aren't a part of the game but that I'd love to see in the game to help me encourage to play a 'role' within the game. While I'm a lot less down on Skyrim's combat than most, I still recognize it has flaws, and could be made better. Desired End Result: A more dynamic, in depth, and survival focused game.įirst of all was the gameplay. Now I have a bit of time for it now though, and I wanted to go back into it with a full mod rehaul spectacular. I've already played almost 250 hours of Skyrim at this point, and honestly it's been awhile since I dedicated much time to the game.
I've recently undergone a journey of ambitious scope.
