want to destroy your low-end PC? Or maybe you "think" your PC is good? Well, let this ENB destroy or prove otherwise!

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67483/?

No seriously, my GTX 970 4gb...I thought it could handle any ENB...but wow is that ENB an FPS killer.

But...it looks...AMAZING. Better than Witcher 3 by far, and even better than modded Witcher 3.

My GPU barely runs it and in heavy areas like riverwood I barely see 30 FPS lol. Most other places I get 35-40 lol.

Holy depth of field Batman. *rubs eyes*

Yeah, I turned off DoF (the first thing I did). makes the game look epic

Here is a Russian Skyrim Overhaul. Its really stable, but probably needs a higher end PC (there is a lighter version inside the install though).

It makes Skyrim A LOT more challenging, more immersive and tons more content. It has a lot of nice little touches

You'll need all DLC as a pre-warning.

It also uses lord of the rings music and other famous musics from games and other movies lol. The music is really good. And they did a great job on the sounds.

mfw miraak steals dragon souls

[SOLDIER First]

it's coded to happen every time you kill a dragon after miraak is awake/discovered/whatever he is (not too far into db)

it's coded to happen every time you kill a dragon after miraak is awake/discovered/whatever he is

Its not quite EVERY time, more like 50% of the time. Which got really annoying when he stole ten dragon souls in a row from me and I couldn't get rid of him because I needed to learn a plot-specific Shout to kill him and I needed a dragon soul for that. Catch 22, at least until I remembered that I could get a dragon soul from the Tomb of Jurgen Windcaller, which I always forget to do.

[SOLDIER First]

Fifty percent is a lot when dragons aren't everywhere. Because they're kinda not. But still common.
Also, you can get a soul from the Tomb? I had no idea.

My final character, which took so many remakes and changes. I wanted a character that I always envisioned in my head, but I could never get it quite right. Finally, with a combination of the right body, meshes, textures and messing with the sliders a bit...got the character I always wanted

Now after 1000 skyrim hours. I can finally stop making new characters over and over and actually accomplish stuff

Thanks Even made a backstory for her Don't usually do that for my characters, but she is a special one

[Bauglir]

Goddamn but I forgot how much work goes into modding this game up. 210 plugins and a bunch of additional mods later, it's about ready to go. STEP is a lengthy process, but by the end of it goddamn is that a pretty game.

Holy shit. What mod(s) did you use to get such... natural... looking faces? Sick of the typical ones everywhere. Beauty is just not possible in vanilla.

[Vendayn]

I may post my mod list at some point. Right now I kinda just want to take a break from anything Skyrim after all that time lol. I don't even want to look at it right now

But, I recommend starting with an ENB. I am using ENB grim and somber malacath performance version...that ENB (and the others he has made, azura is a good one) gives the best look with little loss in performance. Though that partly depends on your GPU how much of a loss one gets with ENB.

Then for races, I actually found RCOTS on google. But I won't link it here. I don't want to be banned I don't like the base race, cause its not really my type of race (its banned on loverslab, and I can see why, the author who made it must have been a pedo, rather disturbing). So I changed meshes/textures to something that is more older in appearance, instead of it being...well...a creepy as heck loli race.

But if you read my long spoiler rant, its only race/texture/mesh combo that let me make 100% isabella (I named her Ariel for Skyrim purposes) that I randomly dream about once to twice a year, and started dreaming of her when I was 5-7 years old (I'm 27 now)...no idea why...and when I was that young it was a lot more often than that. So I decided that skyrim let me be able to remake her, and now I never have to do that again. And maybe finally my brain will stop dreaming of a random person for no reason that I can think of lol. I've never even met anyone that I know of named isabella, and definitely no one that looks like the one in my dream...no idea why my brain does that in my sleep randomly. I never even think about it at all, and then random dream with isabella in it. So weird lol.

Anyway.

Textures I combined SG textures along with Monli textures. Meshes I used one called UNPRT I believe the initials are.

Then in-game textures are here (you'll need enb for parallax):

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61995/?

There are some bugs with that setup as far as armor is concerned, but heh, I just ignore it and use the UNPRT armor.

(long kinda rambling part of the post)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But yeah, since I made my character, every time I start up Skyrim, it doesn't feel the same lol. I did beat the main story/dawnguard and dragonborn DLCs. But ever since I finally made the character of my dreams (literally, since I was little I always dreamed of someone who looked like the character I created. Which was my entire goal in Skyrim was to re-make her)...it feels like I accomplished everything I wanted in Skyrim. So it feels like I did everything I wanted to do lol

It took over 1000 game hours xD though a lot of that was playing the game too, most of it was getting the right mods and making my character just right as how I dreamed of her. Dunno why I dream a random person since I was little, and still like once a year or two she is in my dreams and I'm 27 now lol...maybe its my brain telling me something? Dunno. But she was in my dreams when I was 6 or 7 years old. Maybe I was 5, I was pretty young.


But yeah, Skyrim will be the only game (not much point in remaking the same character over and over) that I spend so much time working on one character lol. Skyrim is a lot of fun and over 1000+ hours was definitely worth it. And I'll always have a copy of my skyrim backed up on mega.co.nz and my back up hard drive, and copies of my save files, if I ever go back to Skyrim.

But in the future, I'll be playing males and actually play the game

Like fallout 4 and the next elder scrolls, I'm gonna get a few gameplay mods, some graphics mods maybe and actually accomplish stuff lol. I never really did that much in Skyrim except the DLC stuff and main story...barely any side quests, barely any exploration

Also for a terrible, ugly video that I disliked (its my own video, I have the right to hit dislike )

This was my very first attempt at creating Isabella (I renamed her to Ariel later on to fit skyrim more, but in my dreams she has always been Isabella)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpNL8f0uHMU

Look how terrible that video is!

Not just the character, but the graphics are worse than oblivion modded rofl, and definitely worse than vanilla skyrim lol.

[Vendayn]

But yeah, to shorten up that post

Tamriel Reloaded HD
ENB grim and somber (any of the presets are really good)
SG textures (but I combined monli textures with them)
UNPRT

and...thats all I can think of that is seen in that screenshot. I did a lot of personal edits though, and put clothes on the RCOTS race cause I don't want to see a clotheless...well...yeah...I had to learn art tools and nifskope for that

I pretty much accomplished everything I wanted to do in Skyrim, which was my whole personal main quest was to re-make Isabella that I dreamed about since I was 5-7 years old for no reason I can think of. But I at least finished all the DLC quests and main quest lol...those weren't really my goal with Skyrim though
