    Default The Skyrim Mod/Tweaks/Tips Thread

    Hey everyone,

    Well, I'm fully into Skyrim. Loving every second. But I am dissappointed with the graphics. Especially the hair and chainmail. So I did some looking around and there are various tweaks you can do in your SkyrimPrefs.ini file. I don't personally have the time to experiment with these yet so I employ you all... My minions: find me the most graphically pleasing settings!

    Also for this thread, post what mods you are using, which have impressed you, which haven't etc. I used to be a complete mod whore and had over 18GB of mods for Oblivion.

    Cheers till tomorrow!

    well its dx9 after all.... unless Im mistaken?

    last thing I read was that its mosly dx9 and some touches of 11. probably kept it like that for the console boys. Im sure high res packs will come out...

    Wish the game was fully directx11 like batman that would be awesome!!

    Check out SkyrimNexus.

    They have quite a few mods already and some predefined .ini files that you can use to optimize your game.
    There is one cool mod, the "Obligatory Chain Mail Bikini". This replaces the default crappy under wear with, you've guessed it, a chain mail bikini.

    There are also tweaks to improve the look of characters and NPC's.

    Check it out and remember, new stuff is added almost daily or updated daily.

    Yeah... Checked it out and like some stuff. but want to know what other people have. I'm actually sometimes a little offended by Skyrim graphics, and I'm running it maxed out. Peoples feet just look crap. I need the awe inspiring graphics like in Fallout New Vegas. What happened? Oh well. The gameplay itself is spectacular. Loving this game so much.

    Guess everyone is too busy playing Skyrim to post up what mods/tweaks they have applied to it.

    How is New vegas's graphics better then Skyrim? Vegas runs on a older engine, and it looked crap on my computer, with tweaked out graphics. Yet Skyrim looks amazing!

    I'm using this mod here: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=131

    It makes the game look a lot better with more realistic and vibrant colours. I think Bethesda tried to make Skyrim look more gritty than Oblivion but ended up making the game look dull and washed out, like Fallout.

    Here is another site for getting skyrim mods
    http://www.skyrimforge.com/

    They seem to be new and upcoming, but based on their competitions I think they will draw in more mods faster
