Look for Skyrim Total Enhancement Project to get you started. Also fill out your sig rig, will make asking question etc. far easier . What rig are you running on? As each mod has a different performance hit on different aspects of the system so will influence your mod choices.

Their really are some absolute gems for making Skyrim a totally immersive experience. S.T.E.P is a great first stop, with lots of information and top recommended mods, but I also suggest checking out mmoXreview on youtube, and SaioTV. They both do mod review videos and offer a really good insight into the mods they review, as well as including links to all the mods. I'll follow this thread and help you out more after work mate smile.gif

Your rigs got enough nuts to handle a fair amount of graphical enhancement, so if you see mods suggesting you need a powerful PC, yours will qualify.

  • No keyboard detected! Press F1 to continue..
Umm..my profile>>>signature>>>edit signature text>>bottom left biggrin.gif
a)Fxaa injector..
idk what else..there's some good ones..
Pick some..Just know that If you do body mods..you have to stick with clothes/armor for that particular body
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/
CBBE-Caliente's big butt something something
UNP-Dimonized UNP body
ADEC-some kinda eye-candy body
Some have to be loaded in order and whatnot.
One of the things I do is raise the LOD (in most games) and FOV
The High resolution pack didn't work for me.

No worries at all mate. If you're ever stuck with mods, or anything Skyrim related, I spent a large amount of time working with the game and MANY mods, so just feel free to shoot me a PM. smile.gif
