AyaKurasaka Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 So I have decided I am going to Re-mod skyrim. Alas with about 270 mods and merged from 290 to 246plugins and a 20GB texture pack, It is not enough There was something.. Missing. I was sloppy with my installs and keeping track of mods and I ended up with a lot of small errors that made the game feel "Meh" I would simply like to ask for suggestions on how to get something Similar to the following Screenshots And follow that up with some more specific questions open to your own opinions =) Visual examples of what I would like to play in. Notes before reading on. 1. I plan to use EWI's Skyrim prefs and Inis as a base Before modding or using an ENB, and Following the ENB modifications to edit those Inis. 2. I am going to be using Mod Organizer, SMC, SMCO, SSME, Tes5Edit, FNIS, LOOT Beta, SKSE 1.7.2 and the SkyRe Patcher. 3. I plan to merge as many ESPs as I can to save on space Any tips on that is helpful. 4. I wan't a Playable Beautiful world Not just one or the other. A good mix. Questions. 1. ENB: Since this is needed to even play heavily modded skyrim with the 3GB RAM limit, What ENB do you suggest based on the pictures above And my personal note of wanting a Good mix between Fantasy, and Realism. I want the water to look real and clear, And my hair to look real, but Want the Fantasy tone of Vibrant and beauty in my color's. I was using True Vision ENB. 2. I am horrible at making a Custom body and doing all that, Unless there's a in-depth tutorial on how to use the custom CBBE Bodyslide maker tool, (video not text cause that's just how I learn Thanks Gopher. ) Than my question is, CBBE Slim, or UNP Slim? I want a Vary young esk character design Female, With 32A-38C range with a Slight Anime esk face. 3. Skin Textures: SG Female Renewal or Fair Skin ? I can't pick, SG seems to work nicer for ENB but Fair skin is more Anime / Fantasy. 4. Head Mesh / Type: All I know of for sure is Pretty Face, but If there are other options please let me know and give your opinion on whats best. 5. Follower mods: While I use to load my skyrim with Shit tons of followers, I think I just want a few of the best. I know Mirai is coming along for sure! I hate Sofia, Any good options? Those are the only 2 that I can really note myself. 6. Texture improvements: Is it worth doing a complete overhaul with Skyrim Mod Combiner ? Or should I pick and choose more carefully? 7. Organization: How exactly from step by step should I mod skyrim? Any particular order? 8. System Optimization: I will post a spoiler box with my system info, If anyone can tell me what my Nvidia Inspector / Skyrim program settings should be exactly That would be great! Thanks for reading it's been a lot but hopefully you guys can help =) A lot better than the people on the Nexus forums sadly.

It's not as dark of an atmosphere as what you're showing? But I still think you'll like the look and feel. Plus, it's pretty straight forward about everything. I use EWI's .ini's optimized for ENB, and have you make some tweaks to optimize shadows and a few things a ltitle better, too. If you have any questions about particular steps, just inbox me. I usually answer pretty quickly.
