I figure it was a far better list than TEN BEST SKYRIM MODS LOL BEARSPIDERS and since everyone who reads this plays Skyrim (EVERYONE WHO READS THIS PLAYS SKYRIM RIGHT) they could stand to benefit.
You do play Skyrim on your rig, right? Not on a console? Because you're a goddamn adult?
Behold:
Skyrim HD - 2K Textures - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=607
this
one pushes my rig while in the cities, but you could pick and choose
some textures out of it. its good in that subtle way, eliminating a
large amount of the console-tastic graphicsEpic Enhanced Skyrim Soundtrack
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/i was weary of this because opinions vary on "epic" but it really is good. mostly just making the tracks longer while splicing in some more famous stuff. Again subtle good.
Legendary Smithing Upgrades
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/you like smithing yea?
Beautiful Skyrim - HD Clutter and Furniture
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/a good texture mod is priceless IMO
Improved rock and mountain textures - 4096x4096
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/for as much time as we have to spend looking at rocks, the might as well look awesome. This mods rocks are better than the Skyrim 2k rocks
A higher quality of shields - New textures
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/
this guy handpainted a lot of these, and if you use the spiked shield then you should grab this one, since it uses the same backing as one of the others (i forget) and thus makes it look sweet in 1st person.
Enchantment Effect Replacer
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/this one is fucking awesome, espically with higher res and the shifting letters. Go this guy god damn
Retextured Wolves and Pelts by Bellyache
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/he even retextured the pelts!
Detailed Faces v2
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/you should have this and the other stuff buy this guy except better bodies, which makes shit crash. But how much time to spend staring at naked toons anyway? The hands one is great too.
Lost Art of the Blacksmith
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/one simple ESP
Skyrim Compass Tuner
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/I fucking love this thing. I hate the compass holding my hand and leading me places, especially telling me where enemies are. Get this, it will make the game so much more fun the explore when you run into shit on accident. Keep it so it shows quest and custom markers and you'll have all you need.
Two Handed animations redone
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/This one has a video so thats rad. it makes two handed swords much more interesting to use and fight against.
Bloody screen removal
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/because we are not playing fucking Call of Duty
Realistic Rain Ripples
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/simple and clean (clean)
silentSounds
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/mostly I got this to make silent sneak attack go away but you can play with it and get some good stuff.
Female Idle Animation Swap
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/If your Lady toon is a Mage, dont get this one. If she is anything else then do get it. I fucking hate the way women run and walk in Bethseda games, always have, so I always look for someone to make this mod. really it cuts down on clipping but like I said if your lady's a mage it just makes her look like shes got something to prove.
Third Person Animation Tweak - Run Forward with Bow
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/The video speaks for itself.
Enhanced Blood Textures
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/One of the top mods on nexus, I'd be surprised if you dont already have it. if not you should.
No More Blocky Faces
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/I added this one separate because it makes such an impact. Get this one.
Ive got others, but mostly color change stuff for amors and weapons, which is more preference than anything. If you have an armor you wear a lot though type it in the search and see what comes up, you might be surprised.
I also want to tag on the HD Skymap one because it integrates the actual lore constellations perfectly into HD real star pictures, and the fix to let the game access more than its set 2gb of RAM (Consoooooles).
GO FORTH AND SCREENSHOT. Screen....screenshoot. Present tense.
