Favorite mods

[Seeker999]

I have a number of mods that are favorites:  Kaidan, Inigo, Snowball, Buttons, DF, SLSF-FS and more. However, what prompted me to start this topic is a screenshot mod that was re-created for current Skyrim:  Screenshot Helper NG. This made me very happy 😁. I take a lot of screenshots, some I do manually and most are with the help of Auto Kill Move Screenshots. For each 'chapter' of a playthrough this can mean 1000-2000 screenshots to go through and cull. Names like screenshot-###.png are not very descriptive. 'Screenshot Helper' sorts them into folders named 'character+race' and then names the pics based on place and in-game time taken. Sort by date created and use in conjunction with Unique Region Names SE and you get a visual history of your pt. Here's a sample:

• Honeyside - Sundas, 2:53 PM, 17th of Last Seed, 4E 201
• Whiterun - Tirdas, 10:21 PM, 19th of Last Seed, 4E 201
• Whitewatch Tower - Middas, 8:04 PM, 20th of Last Seed, 4E 201 (an exterior location specifically identified instead of just Skyrim)
• Falkreath - Fredas, 10:02 AM, 22nd of Last Seed, 4E 201 (Falkreath, not Skyrim)
• Skyrim - Sundas, 1:39 AM, 24th of Last Seed, 4E 201
• Autumnwatch Lodge - Sundas, 4:09 PM, 24th of Last Seed, 4E 201    (this was outside the Lodge and w/o unique names probably would have been read as Skyrim)
• Ivarstead - Sundas, 6:54 PM, 24th of Last Seed, 4E 201
• Shor's Stone - Fredas, 11:13 PM, 5th of Heartfire, 4E 201
• Redbelly Mine - Fredas, 11:47 PM, 5th of Heartfire, 4E 201
• Helgen - Morndas, 10:07 PM, 8th of Heartfire, 4E 201
• Riverwood - Tirdas, 4:07 AM, 9th of Heartfire, 4E 201
• Hod and Gerdur's House - Tirdas, 6:47 AM, 9th of Heartfire, 4E 201
• Riverwood - Tirdas, 9:43 AM, 9th of Heartfire, 4E 201

I think your setup with these mods looks really good for anyone thinking about screenshots.  Besides pretty mods for the world and people, I like dMenu so I can adjust the weather when I want.  Too moody for rain and clouds sometimes.  My modlist has some cheat magic mods as well.  I don't have to worry about spells or magic levels.  Just run around.  🥰
