sentorodeo Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hey all, Decided to buy Skyrim when I found Freyja's awesome stories. Feels weird posting on an old school forum in 2014, I feel like I've gotten in a time machine to 10 years ago. Anyway, I know nothing about modding Skyrim. I assume there's some usual 'awesome fix' that people in the know do whenever they make a fresh install, and I'd like to know what this expert loadout of mods looks like. Also wondering how to get gorgeous Aryan (can I say that word here? I'm not a fascist in the least) women in my game? Any help is majorly appreciated. (also wondering why I can't upload an avatar to the forum)

The cool kids are all using imageboards, Twitter, Instagram and so on. I got some recommendations, going to try UNPB and SRG for textures to start with.
Suludi Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 It's a difference whether you want to spam the world with videos or pictures, or to talk in-depth about a topic that's still sensible in many parts of the world. #sexinskyrim #actualtalkinginsteadofspammingstuff
azmodan22 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Well since you are starting now with Skyrim I suggest you do yourself a favour (and to all of us when you start asking "what is wrong with my game..").... Get a Mod Manager !!! Any, Just dont install mods manually
Mewwt Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Some must have before starting to mod: Nexus Mod Manager (nexus sucks, their mod manager is ok) / Mod Organizer (too lazy to learn how to use it, Nexus Mod Manager is better if you're lazy) SKSE Unofficial Patches FNIS SkyUI --- Ultimate Follower Overhaul (UFO) + Patches Perkus Maximus + Some related patches, like making gold weightless or unfluffing the perk descriptions ACE Enhanced Enemy AI Mods to prevent NPCs from being stupid and trying to punch dragons/vampires to death --- CBBE/UNPB Remodeled Armor for CBBE / UNP skimpy armor replacer Apachii Skyhair Eyes of beauty, texture blenders, fitness blender, cute eyes, better females, fair skin complexion CBBE/UNP, pretty face, helmet toggle... --- Sexlab framework Zaz animation pack Match Maker Hdt Schlongs of Skyrim (even if you don't like dicks, you need dicks) Equipable schlongs (because that's why you need dicks) These mods are always active everytime I reinstall skyrim.
Gumihoyah Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hmm I would say mod organizer is actually better when u are lazy xD better learn how to use it from the start thn switching over after your 5th skyrim instal xD
Swiftstep Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Also wondering how to get gorgeous Aryan (can I say that word here? I'm not a fascist in the least) women in my game? Please specify that request. Did you mean: - the historical correct context (that would be Iranian women, since the word origins in Persia) - the phrase that got "popular" in the 20th century, during fascism (cause that would be northern women) In the second case I'd suggest playing the race called Nord. Very tall, light skin, many believable hair styles in the un-modded game. If you regard to the first context, I doubt that you find anything satisfactory; most likely you would have to test several texture packs and create something to your liking yourself (if anyone wonders why I'm mentioning the historical correct origin of the word: I hereby confess that I do find the Persian women to have the most beautiful faces).
azmodan22 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I though that the correct context for the 20th centure Arya race was tall, blond with blue eyes. Like Swedish. Nords are "Vikings".
bigglebojiggle Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hmm I would say mod organizer is actually better when u are lazy xD better learn how to use it from the start thn switching over after your 5th skyrim instal xD And if you make multiple profiles and characters

Don't forget Skyrim HD Ultra HD Texture Pack Static Mesh Improvement and possibly the Vivid Landscapes series Add to those with Enhanced Lights and FX (or Realistic Lighting Overhaul) and Project Reality and you have a fantastic looking game Also try out SG Hair Pack More Killmoves For All Weapons Types IceBreakers Improved Reverb Improved Combat Sounds Wearable Lanterns (A must have for me) Enhanced Character Edit (another must have) Alternate Start (if you're playing the game for the hundredth time and want to quickly get started) XVision Children (another must to get rid of the ugly vanilla kids) No Spinning Death Animation Realistic Force I'm not sure about the difference between Enhanced Enemy AI and AI Overhaul, but I don't use UFO (I go solo only) I also wouldn't go for Skyrim Redone as they make the game too hard to be fun in my opinion (I don't go higher than Adept difficulty), Perkus Maximus sounds like SkyRe to me so I wouldnt get it. I do agree with a lot of the other mods this poster mentioned though, I use SevenBase Natural (for the high) and B-cup (for the low) and Fairskin, my character is damned sexy
ghostwalkr Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 First - a hearty welcome to sentorodeo. You'll find that Lover's Lab is a great place to get advice and the people are extremely helpful.. I'm surprised that no one recommend S.T.E.P. It has a wealth of information when it comes to getting started with modding Skyrim. http://wiki.step-project.com/Main_Page And by all means - get Mod Organizer (MO). It will save you a lot of heartburn in the long run, especially if something goes wrong with a mod causing your Skyrim to break and you need to revert back to a vanilla version of Skyrim. I hope you'll enjoy your time playing the game. I still play it and I've had the game since it was released. I still find a new mod that I have to try. In addition to all the various suggestions given so far, I would also suggest that you also take look at the various ENB presests that out there for Skyrim I myself have been using RealVision ENB (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/?) since 2013 and no matter many times I try out a different preset - I always go back it.
Mewwt Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 stuff Perkus Maximus is "skyre 2.0". It mainly modifies the perks and some game mechanics, not necessarily making it harder (as long as you don't try to dagger to death an enemy with heavy armor, tried it, didn't go well :/ ). I suggest you giving it a try, because it changes a LOT of things. About mod organizer being better: As long as you don't go full potato, nexus mod manager is perfectly fine.

Ok, I thought for a second the two were separate, I have used SkyRe before and kind of liked it, but I need to reinstall it and choose better options (for me at least). I always wanted a perk system more like Fallouts where basically you choose your skill, then the perk you want, not "oh you need to have this unrelated perk you dont want to get this one you do." Also, I went full potato, that's why I use MO.
Mewwt Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Perkus Maximus kind of fixes what you said. T3nd0 got rid of almost all passive perks, and perk trees are more dynamic and have more interesting choices. If you liked skyre, you'll love perma.
Gumihoyah Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Agree on that one, I used to like skyre but now im madly in love with perma
dryuya Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Skyre still seems better to me. Doesn't have fluff descriptions and let's you go past 100 cap.
Mewwt Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 It's not skyre what removes the 100 cap, it's the uncapper (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1175/?). For the fluffly descriptions, you just need another mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59854/?).
dryuya Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah but Perma doesn't even utilize the functionality of uncapper, what I really meant in my last post. If I have to download multiple stuff with my main perk revamp mod Id rather it be for things like uncapper that add a level of concrete value to the mod and not a defluffer to fix poor perk descriptions that should have already come that way... Besides Skyre still gets more support from other mods AFAIK...since it was first to the dance and most users like me probably never saw a reason to change.
Gumihoyah Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Well if u go to http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59257/?There should be a working uncapper patch in there... at least I think I got mine from there xD
Mewwt Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Well, for skyre you have to clean your save from scripts and deal with absolute incompatibilities because t3nd0 went potato on a few things. I totally love skyre, if it was one of my kids, I'd totally not hit him, but perma is getting a lot more of love, has more interesting combat mechanics (blunt/piercing/slashing weapons), perks aren't so redundant and are also kept to a minimum possible ammount, and it's compatibility is really sexy, and other mod makers seem to like making patches for it. Of course, if you like encounter zones, standing stones and things like that from skyre, you can always use it with perma. Perma's strongest point is the "core" of the mod (perks, combat mechanics, item mechanics like potions or enchantments and spells, these sexy damn spells, bro). It also doesn't need the uncapper (even though you can use it as an extra after you get all the perks). It al comes down to personal preference, but as a skyre lover, I'd never go back from perma.
bigglebojiggle Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Perkus Maximus kind of fixes what you said. T3nd0 got rid of almost all passive perks, and perk trees are more dynamic and have more interesting choices. If you liked skyre, you'll love perma. Maybe I should check it out, I liked what Skyre wanted to do, but it seemed to not quite accomplish it
