Skyrim Mods

Essential:
Unofficial patches (pay attention to load order).

Make beautiful with limited perfomance hit:
Climates of Tamriel, SMIM and ELFX.

No reason not to have:
Immersive Weapons.
Immersive Armours.
Immersive Creatures.

Anything after that gets a bit time consuming, gameplay modifications (essential but marred in this vs that debates). Just do the above and and see if you can still be arsed.

If you wanted Skyrim with guns all you had to do was go play New Vegas.

This guide doesn't have everything, but what it has all works together stably.

Immersive creatures is horrible and not immersive at all unless you think it's natural for every animal have offspring always following them nose in ass, bringing them into massive team fights with other animals every day and carnivores having gabbage in their inventory.

>interesting NPCs
The dialogue choices they gave you when speaking to some of the characters felt out of place in an elder scrolls game, but right at home in a fallout game

>Climates of Tamriel

This is shit.

>>276743960
Done that already. Skyrim with guns would be interesting though.

>>276744891
>>276744979
fuckin a dude I said essential I'm not looking to spend all day installing... thanks for the input though

>>276744891
>+When Vampires Attack

Don't even bother with this. Just get a mod that disables vampire attacks.

>not slutty armor with horrible ENB and worse faces than Cisquistion


This guy

>>276745342
Climates of Tamriel
is a heavy mod, PureWeather is a somewhat light scripted mod

>>276745419
Well that exists if you have the dawnguard DLC. If you don't, torrent it and get some dwarven guns.

>>276745498
>average nexus waifu

Nah, they tend to be just copypasted animu shit, not downies.

>>276745419
Essential / Optinal
Tomata / Tomato

Cant really play without making it more fun, or else it a waste of time

>>276745619
That's true. Ideally as a start I'd just like to make it pretty, then look at performance/gameplay type stuff

If you're using magic, Midas Magic is a must.

>>276746162
Well depends on your specs really.

if your computer a shit and you can't run ENBs, cinemascope provides a superior lighting to vanilla with zero performance loss, even on toasters. And if you are on a toaster HiAlgo might help you as well.

Play Far Cry 3 man

>>276747353

Sex mods are shit.

>>276747723
Fair enough. Most of the animations replacers for Skyrim suck massive dick, I wish people would pay as much attention to the combat animations as they do how they're waifus ass sways.
