The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Mod Discussion and News [Creation Kit released]

That looks like you use CoT in combination wit a ENB or lighting mod that makes nights a lot darker anyway.
The combination of both is probably what causes your Problem.

Yeah, I'm using Sharpshooter ENB. Is there no way to fix this then? Either get rid of ENB or CoT? :\
 
I highly recommend the Travel Lanterns mod that was recommended to me by Lime. The only lighting mod I'm running now is CoT - which is great - but things can be difficult to make out at times, even on the brightest settings. That's when I bust out a trusty lantern! I've got Lydia equipped with one, for hot dual-lantern action.

Getting rid of one or the other should fix it. There are a few ENBs that work with CoT, but I can't recall the names atm. I do know most of them are cited on the CoT Nexus page though, in the description category.

Try tweaking this in enbseries.ini
DirectLightingIntensityNight=1.1 //1.0
DirectLightingCurveNight=1.0 //1.0
DirectLightingDesaturationNight=0.2 //0.0

Try disabling the ENB via shift+F12 first and see if the problem still exists.
If it doesnt change the enb settings like KKRT00 recommended or use a different ENB/no CoT.

Should the nights still be extremely dark even though you disabled the enb the problem is something else (CoT setting/some other mod)
 
Does anyone know if Frostfall (particularly v2.0 that's in testing right now, if anyone knows) requires a new game to be used? Can I install it and use it in a save that's already been played?
 
So i put the enb d3d9.dll and the opeth main preset folder in the game dir, but i don't see any options when I run the Skyrim launcher.....

what kind of "options" are you looking for?
If you want to enable some lighting mods that came with opeth you will have to activate them under "data files" in the skyrim or a mod launcher.

All enb files must be in skyrim\ folder, not skyrim\data\ folder.
Of course enb need to have enb features activated in endseries.ini
 
I figured out what was wrong, i was before simply dumping the whole folder i downloaded off nexus into the directory, lol.

Anyways opeth is pretty bad, looks very washed out/overly bright. Superb ftw.
 
In the end I decided to hop back in Skyrim; this time I'm trying to limit the usage of mods (had like 150 back in August).
This my visual result so far (running at 40-46 fps).

Im buying skyrim today and i was wondering if there is a mod that adds a "vats" like system. I really enjoyed that about fallout and would love a kinda turnbased like system in skyrim.

My suggestion would be to enjoy the game as it is and consider modding once you're done (?) with the mainquests.
I'm not aware of any VATS like mod but, from a purely visual outcome, you could consider The Dance of Death with 100% killmove chance on third person.
That coupled with a crossbow should give you a little VATS-y feeling I guess.
 
Do you guys know of any thing I can do to fix this issue I am having?

The horse I bought at Whiterun walks back by itself to the stables there whenever I dismount it, no matter where I am. This is obviously very annoying.

I wanted to look into Better Horses (for the horse whistle feature) but it hasn't been updated in many months so I doubt it will work.

No sir. A couple attempts and one group of 3 modders are working on a full Vats but they haven't announced further work in the last couple weeks.

Doesn't this happen with stolen horses? Might sound silly, but are you sure you mounted the right one?

Go with Convenient Horses, whistle included :)
 
Convenient Horses is great. I've been using it for a while and I couldn't play without it, at this point. It's a essential mod for anyone who wants to use horses.
 
Here are some screenshots I've taken using a custom enb on skyrim, (mostly Opethfeldt6), using nothing more than the official hi-res texture pack through steam, and the few mods that came with Opethfeldt6.

I pretty much run at 60hz everywhere, (660ti sli, Windows 8), I still can't pick my jaw up off the floor while I'm playing. I get the feeling like I'm playing in a Pixar movie at times.

I'll upload more pics as I go along if anyone is interested!

Damn that looks so good. Do you think I can run this smoothly with a GTX550 ti, Intel Core i-7 2600?
 
This game is NIGHT AND DAY from the PS3 version. ESPECIALLY with a good PC.

I've only got ENB OPETH6 or whatever, a music mod with Oblivion music integrated with the Skyrim music, the official HD patch, and it looks and runs like a dream.

3770k/GTX 670, and no framedrops. I want to install more lol and maybe even get the DLC.

On Gaf, this thread is probably your best bet.

How are you applying the mods? The Steam Workshop, manually, or the Nexus? I have like 40 mods enabled and I'm very stable but there was a time a while ago that a single mod, I'm having trouble remembering which now, was causing constant crashes. I use the Nexus Mod Manager and I use BOSS to find incompatibilities and determine load order.
Originally I was having zero problems with ENB, HD patch, and music.

Official Skyrim HD patch
Opethfeldt6 ENB
a music mod
Wet and Cold
Enhanced Lights and FX

I was just using "Data Files"... and then the Workshop for the music ones since I couldn't find that on Skyrim Nexus.

But ever since Wet and Cold and Enhanced Lights and FX I'm getting constant CTDs. But now, even if I disable them I get CTDs!!

I installed Boss and Nexus Mod Manager, but I don't know how to fix this, or undo the problem. I have a few save files but even using an earlier one it eventually crashes. I have a feeling I'll need to delete everything completely and start a new game. Boy this is annoying :(

Any ideas? PLEASE lol!!!
 
How far are you in the game? I'm not the best for trouble shooting but I think since your mods aren't particularly well organized it may be worth starting over from scratch. Your save may be ok, there isn't anything there that I would think would ruin it but it's possible that you may not be able to use it if you don't have specific mods installed at this point.

I'm about four hours into the game. I did the intro, a few small caves and like one quest. Stole a bandit's horse and went all the way to Riften from Winterhold from Whiterun plus some looting and some leveling up. It's not like I'd be losing a ton of progress but the first few hours are so goddamn boring.

How do I organize them properly?
I have "Data Files" BOSS and Nexus Mod Manager, I'm just not sure how to use them or which I should be using or whatever. Everything's running off of Data Files except, like I said the music files are from steam workshop but I can't imagine them being the culprit.

Everything besides the music was downloaded off of Skyrim Nexus and installed manually according to their directions.
 
Now that you have the mod manager installed, you can just click the "Download with manager" link in the Skyrim Nexus and when it's done downloading, you can just enable the mod through manager. It handles everything for you for the most part.
 
Anyone had any luck getting the Warzones mod to work without crashing in every single battle?

It seems like I'm hitting a memory ceiling because it always happens after a certain amount of time has passed. I've disabled it in the meantime but I'd like to know if anyone's got any tricks for this.

What's annoying is that I'm only running a few graphical mods (W.A.T.E.R., the official HRTP are ones with the most impact) and it's still too much for it, apparently.

Ah, well. Have some screenshots (heavily modified Opethfeldt 6 ENB):

The ENB obviously has to install manually right? I don't see a download with manager anywhere.
 
I'm reinstalling all from scratch, and then I'll add them one at a time, starting with the HD patch and the ENB, and then I'll use Nexus Mod Manager from there. I'll report back, probably several hours, 11GB is a lot to download.
 
I'm gonna throw up. I just finished downloading the whole thing again and I modified the original skyrimprefs.ini without making a copy. Anyone have an untouched one they can throw on mediafire or something?

Try renaming the file then use the launcher to configure it again. I'm willing to guess it will be recreated automatically.
 
Ah well. Skyrim doesn't work on my machine. HD Patch Hearthfire Opethfeldt6 ENB and some music is all I have installed. The save may be corrupt or may not be, but this save is from way back after just getting to Whiterun. And I hadn't tried any of those other mods, so if it's breaking this early, I might pass on the whole game.

Plus it looks like everyone here has had their fill of Skyrim. Maybe I'll try sometime who knows. I've got nothing of consequence in terms of mods on here that could even potentially break it, (music, official textures, official dlc, rendering style), so I can't even fathom what Skyrim's problem is, which makes it really just a waste of time at this point :-P

You didn't mess with uGrid settings did you?
 
Don't know what that is, but it doesn't ring a bell.

Someone else said to start a new game, that's really all I can come up with. God, these games install things everywhere I wouldn't be surprised if something is still there from the prior install. The beginning sucks who wants to do that again? (Third time for me due to PS3 version). Fuckin annoying... ARGH
 
Whats the best overall mod to make the player and npc have a more realistic skin texture? I guess something that improves each race to look as real as possible
