noodles1976 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Since so many people have mentioned SkyUI already, I'm going to go with XCE http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2356/? . I would consider this the only mod to get if we couldn't have body replacers, GUI overhauls, custom races etc. This might be cheating a little bit, as it's a compilation of all Xenius' work...but how could you live with all those fugly compression issues with the normal maps, bad eyes, low res facepaints/scars etc. It just fixes so much for a vanilla +1 mod install. Sure the characters are still physically ugly, but the textures will look nice...somewhat like a PC game, and not a PS3 N~dles
Setekh Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 One mod? Oh, yep... SkyUI. The next version should have that PR disaster in their dev team booted out of the credits list for almost destroying their rep. Very much this. When that kid announced the paid for version he came across as a /b/tard from 4chan. I honestly didn't believe it at first and knew it was almost certainly a shit stirring attempt, imagine my reaction when it was announced on their Nexus page aswell...
srayesmanll Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Several of the previous mentioned (SkyUI, Fus Ro Doh, ASLAL, etc). Just a couple others that (I don't believe) no one has mentioned yet: Become a Bard ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65636/?) - used it when it first on Nexus, followed it to SteamWorkshop (luckily the author put an external link to the mod so I didn't have to actually subscribe), and now it's back on Nexus. I use it even when my character is not even going to go through the bard stuff in it - I'll play a hunter that lives in the wilderness and will play the flute by the campfire at night. And some of the included music is very cool. Personalized Music ( http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13286/?) - Allows you to put your own music into the game and with its setup you can choose when and where (outdoors, combat, taverns, taverns night, etc). And considering that this mod exists, I could never figure why people would risk getting banhammered at Nexus for putting copyrighted music mods there when they could use this one so easily.
Shadowscale Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 For me its Disparity. It re-introduces the class system from the older TES games. Edit: Link is http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63354/?if you want to check it out.
Youwish1 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Add item menu . That mod is a godsend if you have a lot of armor mods.
Rayblue Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Add item menu . That mod is a godsend if you have a lot of armor mods. Tremendously useful. Better than the tedium of having to pull out the console, and type several lines to grab things.
polaczek Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Duel hardcore combat gets my vote, without it fights are just painfully boring for me, especially against those ever present draugr...
Shadowhawk827 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Posted May 30, 2015 It's funny that so many people say SkyUI. No doubt it's a great mod that makes the game infinitely more playable. But my pragmatic side is thinking similar Mister X razzing Atreyu... 90% of the mods actually worth having require SkyUI already and since I said dependencies get included here, you could have gotten it as a freebie Oh and Atreyu, we have been honest. Sexlab stuff is a great addition, it's just not the sole focus of our game for most of us.
Sir Artsy Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I dont use skyrim nor oblivion to make/watch machinima porn so i like to believe i was more honest in ze internets than many. Also i like default nord race so.. SkyUI if i would have only one.
Shadowhawk827 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 I think I actually found a new one now: Legacy of the Dragonborn The mod is freaking awesome. It adds every (or almost every) unique item from Daggerfall, Morrowind (& it's DLCs), Battlespire, Redguard, and Oblivion (& it's DLCs) to the game and gives you a spot to collect and display ALL of it and the uniques from Skyrim too. IceCreamAssassin was amazingly thorough with it too. Even the books that are unique to each game have been added. There's even spots to display generic uniques like Amren's family sword. Spots to build wildlife displays too (mammoths, etc...) like a natural history museum. And it's compatible with a handful of of the more popular mods. This thing lets you go more completionist nuts than the whole series of Pokemon games, lol

This thing lets you go more completionist nuts than the whole series of Pokemon games, lol aslong as your computer can handle it, towards the end with a mostly full place, i couldnt enter normally, had to coc to get in, i would crash sho much in that place.. but i did love it, having all that stuff to collect was a dream. my must have mod would be either... Grimy Utilities - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36328/?- it does alot of things, but the spell hot keys are a major help or Jaxon real names - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61430/?- all it does is give humanoids real, fitting and lore friendly names, a small thing that has a large impact on your game. sometimes i am even afraid to attack bandits now, just cuz i dont know htey are bandits til they go hostile.
Shadowhawk827 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah, I could see where some PCs could pick up some serious load lag and general lag in the museum. IceCreamAssassin has it segmented off into different rooms that load individually. Not sure how new that is, BUT I can see why he did that now that you brought it up. Jaxon real names... That would make life interesting when stumbling across the random bandit camp alright, lol.

KyndirTyr Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I would say it would have to be ..."Æsir Armour." Love it too much.
Guest Vendayn Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Well if I had to choose one mod... Monli Alternate Start Hunterborn Corpse Preparation Vile Art of Necromancy ENB Those are in every mod list I have. So to choose one... I could probably do without corpse prep and vile art, which leaves ENB, Hunterborn, Alt start and Monli Well, every character looks ugly as hell without ENB (vanilla lighting+characters=ugly ). And if I could only choose one, if I chose Monli she wouldn't look nearly as good. And I'm kinda okay without ENB if I stick with the vanilla races... which leaves, Hunterborn and Alt start. And that is an easy choice of the two, since alt start really just skips the intro so that is more a short term mod. Since I'd only have one mod, no big deal. Where as Hunterborn is the entire game. So that would be Hunterborn. The most realistic hunting mod, makes the game a lot better and I LOVE being a hunter/survivalist. It makes it a better hunter simulator than most hunter simulators
Mord Sif Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Well I pretty much only play Skyrim for the naughty bits these days. So... seeing as requirements are included by the rules of the game, I'll go with a tactical vote and say Play Submissive. That way I get these all thrown in for free: SKSE SKYUI Fuz HDT High Heels SexLab Aroused ZaZ Devious Devices Assets, Integration and Expansion Pet Collar And possibly a few others I can't remember off the top of my head...
Shirobako Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Skin textures. I probably would have never played Skyrim if I only had vanilla textures available.
NickNozownik Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Vaalsark race and KS hairdos for beast races to make it look better. Original mod works without KS, but I edited it in the CK so I guess it counts as required file.
Stud84 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 If I had to choose one mod it'd be skin textures. It's so hard to play an ugly character in RPGs.

cockrot Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 cant play without Demonica race,i dont violently abuse any of my followers now
GettingWhiter Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 TAZ Visual Overhaul. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61826/?
StayFrosty Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Would be a bummer to only be able to have one Mod...Aesthetics, Realism and Challenge are all on my Skyrim must list...but if I could choose only one it would be the Challenges meted out by 'Sleeping Dangers-Sands of Time'http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12452/?
Kendo 2 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Skyrim with one mod? I'd uninstall the game. IF I had to pick it would be my own master file that has all of the changes I've made. It is an overhaul in one esp.
