Xzibit pimped my Skyrim !

[Leesin]

I've tried many combinations of mods each time I've decided to play Skyrim again. This time around I've chosen SkyRe as my main 'overhaul' and I've got to say it's easily one of the best I've used. It changes alot of things in the game, but luckily only the bad things, SkyRe improves so many of the bad parts of the game that it feels great to play. The perk tree and combat are alot better, even with my orcish heavy armour + bonuses to armour rating enemies can still really hurt me. With SkyRe I am using Immersive Weapons, Immersive Armours, Immersive creatures, pretty sure you can find esp's for them all that make them compatible with SkyRe and also with crafting, I can't exactly remember if they were on the actual mod nexus pages or on another nexus post, but it wont be hard to find them.

WARZONES: Civil Unrest is another mod I am using, for me it works flawlessly with the previous mods I mentioned and I have no crashes or bugs so far. Yesterday I came across a battle with 100+ combatants in, I ran in to help the guys friendly to me, it was majorly fun especially considering the fact that a strong enemy could kill me in a few hits so I really had to be careful, think I quick loaded at least a few times because of getting out numbered and owned.

Finally to make the game look nicer I use Skyrim HD, Climates of Tamriel and Realistic Lighting Overhaul, the game is alot nicer to look at than before. Also I use Alternate Start: Live another Life mod, if you've played through the vanilla intro once you should get this mod, it puts you into the game far quicker and you can choose different things that will have an effect on your gameplay, for example my character is an Orc, it let me choose to start in an Orc camp and start my travels from there with Orc gear.

So Listed:

SkyRe
Immersive Weapons
Immersive Armour
Immersive Creatures
Alternate Start: Live another Life
WARZONES: Civil Unrest
Skyrim HD
Climates of Tamriel
Realistic Lighting Overhaul

They're the main ones I can think of right now and I am having absolutely 0 crashes and bugs so far. If you experience bugs and crashes with this mod list then you are probably using the wrong compatibility files for one or more of the mods. Or you have the loadout order of the mods set incorrectly.

OMG! Check out this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20036

It replaces the models for a lot of vanilla weapons to look more like real weapons. I'm so downloading it now!

Edit: I had to uninstall it because I think it was the cause for a lot of CTD's that wouldn't let me play ever since I began using it.

I like the idea but the models seem to be very low quality.


This makes me remember, I once tried various enb mods, and found one which had a "8-bit" effect, turning the resolution and color variety down. It actually felt great to look at scenery and random moving people/monsters because those things looked more like sprites from early 3D games even though they were real 3D models. I mean it was surprisingly beautiful in its own way. The only problem was the UI so I wish somebody could create a similar thing without affecting UI elements. I think i would play that.

That's cool

No really, it looks good ingame

If you people are bored and want to see how I miss 9 out of 10 bolts while trying to kill some dragons that keep humiliating me, have a look at this:

You can see the Increased Spawns feature of ASIS (more than one dragon) and the Dragon Combat Overhaul (the way they behave and the knockdown effect on landing and taking off).

[Leshma]

Is there any real Dragon mod? You know a mod, where dragons become super OP and you need to play really smart in order to beat them. Vanilla Skyrim dragons remind me more of drakes or wyverns, they aren't really dangerous at all.

[Patoson]

Well, there is a harder preset in Deadly Dragons (you can change stats manually as well), where they do more damage and resist more, and there are other dragon mods like Mighty Dragons and the newest - Mighty Dragons seems to have disappared - is Enhanced Mighty Dragons (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34215/), but I haven't tried them it. I suppose you mean make them dangerous by making them smarter. Usually they are too slow in every movement/reaction (quite poor AI), but DCO is the best mod I have seen that enhances their behaviour.

As far as I know, you will just have to make them as hard as possible regarding stats. There's also the mod Skyrim AI Editor (SkyAI), which lets you tweak dragons too, but I haven't seen much difference - mod which, by the way, does improve humans' and other monsters' AI by your choice via SkyUI menu.

And, just like I found the swords replacer yesterday, if you can't find what you are looking for in

• http://www.skyrimgems.com/
• http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/top/
• http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/newrecently/

you can go to the categories section and browse or just use the search function.

By the way, from the author of SkyAI comes SkyTweak - Skyrim Balance Tweaker (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33395), a mod similar to BYOG but much deeper. It has some very interesting features.
I also found this little tool that lets you run SkyProc patchers all together and lets you assign it more memory so it can run faster: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/29865

One of the best mods I have ever seen: Sound Propagation Overhaul (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33740). Download it now or you will regret it!

This : http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32597/  is the mod you are looking for.

Use that with one of the dragon stat boosters (I use Deadly Dragons) and you'll have a hell of a fight on your hands.

One of my favorite features is the added wing hitboxes that let you "shoot it down".  Hit them in the wings enough and they fall.

I use both deadly dragons and warzones. Its epic-heres how my gametime went yesterday. First I entered the warzone near whiterun stormcloak camp. Since I havent started the civil war on the character I was on, it was Whiterun Guards/Stormcloaks VS. Bandits/Mages VS. Undead(skeletons). Since I was there, the guards and I obliterated the opposition. However, during this time a wyrm(from deadly dragons) appeared.
My settings are extremely hard on deadly dragons and with wyrms already OP in many ways, it was actually a challenge compared to normal dragons.
Within 2 minutes all 20 of the remaining friendlies were dead. The Wyrm was still at 75%ish. I had to save and try a few times before I was able to kill the thing, and the amount of potions I went through made it rediculous.


If ur looking for a good dragon fight, deadly dragons is your mod.

I decided to give Duke Patricks - Archery And Heavy Weapons Combat (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3646) a try despite the script lag and I really don't regret it. It's amazing. It makes combat pretty similar to Warband - in terms of speed bonus, chamber-blocking, feinting (these last two not exactly like in Warband) - and also sets stagger/knockdown force dependent on actors' strength and size and makes vampires and werewolves extremely powerful. The major difficulty of this mod is that you have to time your attacks and blocks or you run out of stamina and then you can't block. You have to read the instructions thoroughly. Even though you get script lag sometimes, it's the most complex overhaul I've ever played, and I hadn't had so much fun with this game before.

I found a realistic sword replacer, but it can cause CTD's (at least with Immersive Patrols): http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20036

I've tried to buy it using VPN, no success. Elmokki tried to purchase it too, same result.

Leshma, I find that most if not all dragon mods make them insanely difficult. But that may be because of my settings.

[Leesin]

I don't bother with Dragon mods because Dragon fights are so common that if they were even difficult to kill it would get even more tiresome than it is now, Dragons are the Cliff Racer's of Skyrim except you're forced to fight them for Dragon souls. IMO you should get the shout unlocked as soon as you find it on the walls without 'Dragon Souls' and Dragon fights should be rare and difficult, with much reward, like a Dragons Lair full of treasures, but instead they chose to make them just annoying. How would the story work then? well only a Dragonborn would be able to read and absorb the power off of those shitty walls, story fixed, FUCK YOU DRAGONS.

[SixThumbs]

They're the cliffracers of Skryim except they scale with your level and they don't just b-line straight to you. Instead you have to hide behind a rock for a minute and wait for it too land so it can sponge up some damage before flying away again.
