I don't wanna be a game breaker, but let's keep this is a Skyrim Thread

Uncle Dude · 03-11-2012, 10:13 | posts: 2,078 | Location: USA

Yes, let's get back to the deadly serious nature of this game.

There is a mod out there which replaces some of the background songs with tracks from Lord of the Rings. Pretty neat

I don't really care about the clothing or lack of it, I was complaining about the blurry backgrounds that everyone seems to love. They seem to serve no purpose other than to make their wannabe girlfriend look sexier.

I personally play the game to kill things and to admire the scenery, not the character. I have a wife for the other things...

People play as females because thats their wannabe girlfirend?? thats really weird. i myself have zero interest in doing a play-through as a female.

Maybe you and I don't, but in my (limited I will admit, maybe a 100 or so individuals) more than half of the guys play a girl. :p

RoadKillNL · 03-12-2012, 09:40 | posts: 2,543 | Location: The Netherlands

I also know of girls playing a male character, does that also mean they play their wannabe boyfriend?

And I bet more than 1/2 play a male too

It has been posted before i believe, but this Mod is getting better and better. Today Version 1.16 has been released with the so much better 3D Ropes.

Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM by Brumbek

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8655

Quote:

Skyrim is the greatest open-world RPG ever created and includes fantastic 3D character and creature models. However, playing the game for even one hour made me notice Skyrim also contains many ugly 3D models. More precisely, there are quite a few low-polygon static meshes such as architectural elements, clutter, furniture, and landscape objects.

It would appear that while the artists devoted a large amount of time to create the races, creatures, armor, weapons, and major buildings, the more "boring" 3D models that make up the game world got severely neglected.

Hence, this mod edits many 3D models to improve their appearance and to fix many of the ugly seams and other oddities present in many of the default 3D models. The ultimate goal is to improve about 200 to 300 of the worst offenders. This will take a long time, and I'll release incremental updates to include new 3D models as I finish them.

@Static Mesh Mod

Agreed - I stop and stare at the drawbridge chains every time I go into Whiterun...and the barrels, oh the lovely, lovely barrels.

Wait so does this modify in-game textures of the game? cause im using the flora hd mod, high res clothing, and the official dlc texture pack and i am OUT of VRAM :'(.

RoadKillNL · 03-12-2012, 15:55 | posts: 2,543 | Location: The Netherlands

It changes Meshes of Objects from either 2D to 3D or enhances the current 3D Model.

Some of his models come with his own HD Texture and cannot be changed because of the mesh changes.

Barrels for example can be installed with the Vanilla Textures thru a custom setup in NMM.

So you should be safe to us it

Maybe peoople just want to play as someone they can't relate to so that it feels more like a character, plus I hate dressing up guys

ps.

Anyone looking for a first person (esp based) horse riding mod could try this one as it seems to work well, I'm using the simple version A file with a resolution of 1920x1200.

First Person Horse Riding - Version 7 by Dan Caldwell

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10122

Quote:

1. (Optional) Remove previous versions of the mod and optionally create new clean saves.

2. Download Latest Version

3. Copy the archived files to the Skyrim Data folder (should be something like C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data)

4. Enable mod (horsefp.esp) via the Skyrim Startup Menu

5. IMPORTANT - Load a save then enter a dungeon or cave. Exit the dungeon.

6. Get on a horse and zoom/scroll in all the way.

7. Enjoy.

It's called Beautiful Whiterun.

And another interesting mod.

Little Barons Interior Decorating aka LB-ID

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12643

Quote:

Adds variety to glazed pottery, adds varied flower pots and planters throughout civilized Skyrim, small purchaseable statues, player placeable paintings, and miscellaneous gew-gaws for your home decorating pleasure.

Also adds a bit of dirt to the large empty pots in places like Proudshire Manor, removes many of the ugly 'wall baskets'

About half or more of the paintings were converted by permission from screen shots taken and posted by fellow Nexus members. The paintings are named as 'painted' by them in game, and these members are listed below. Thanks again!!

Just put it in. Very nice.
I have to assume that you are using a DOF mod.
I prefer my back grounds "crisper".

Forget that you had magic on offhand, and just get +one hand dmg and magic resist.

Only thing that magic on your offhand is doing is keeping you from blocking with a shield.

Unless your mods completely change the way magic works then you need to specify what your mods does.
