Anyone have any first hand shots of that? Looks good but a little too calm.

there are mods in development (or at least early stages) so don't expect anything quite as KBM-centric as many of us would like.
check this out to see what mock ups ppl have been doing http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1278538-skyrim-ui-pc-specific-redesign-no-2/page__hl__wakeupbrandon
for now, a lot of people are using the QD inventory mod for better categorization

Send a PM to LiquidMetal (The OP), I'm pretty sure he went back to 1.1.
Will do, thanks.

That 8 hot keys 360 controller mod is a complete game changer for a mage character, the game is now absolutely unplayable for me without it, I honestly feel really sorry for console players playing a mage.
I should probably start using that mod manager by now.

I'm honestly shocked that the game didn't play this way by default. I can understand that some may find it weird to press 2 buttons for waiting or whatever, but having only 2 hotkeys for spells is really crappy.
It should at least be an option. "Pro controls" or something. If it were official, console players would get the benefit too.

^ I use the first one.

I would highly recommend this one- 360 Controller Remap. It switches things to a more natural order like
B to crouch. You just have to map the keys with the KB and have the items in your favs but that's like any hotkeys regardless of controller in this game. As you can see in the link, it has nifty shortcuts like LB+Y to bring up skill tree, +A for map, etc. Very good and a better layout than dafault.
Terrain Manager setttings, try turning them down about 10000 each. PM me and I can go over more detailed changes if you want but if this fixes it, then all is good.
You can map them without ever using a keyboard. LB+right stick click brings up favorites, then hold dpad left for 1, dpad up for 2, ... lb+dpab left for 5, lb+dpad up for 6, etc.

Hey guys, I've got a question and don't know if it's been answered before but, I get quite a FPS drop in my game (PC version) when fog/smoke is around the area, everywhere else in the world the game runs at a solid 60 FPS most times.
My Specs are 15 2500k, GTX570 and 4GB RAM I run ultra with x4 MSAA and x16 Anisotroppic, no AO and no super sampling, can anyone tell me how can I improve the performance in those areas aside of turning down the configuration parameters to high?

Just for curiosity, try this setting in SkyrimPrefs
[Particles]
iMaxDesired=300
btw, I also get an odd slower looking fps even when fraps says 60 but tinker with that and see if that even affects anything.

Thanks, I'll try and let you know.
Since overclocking my 2500k to 4.5ghz I find smoke/fog impacts FPS a great deal less.

I have the same OC if not slight more BUT there is a distinct slower feeling even though fraps says 60. I don't know if it's me just looking at the fog and that running slower or the entirety of the engine being taxed. I asked on the forums and no one answered.
Someone from another forum said that with patch 1.3 the FXAA Post Process Injector is causing their game to crash. Anyone else have this or is this an isolated incident?
I am still on patch 1.1 with the LAA .exe, and won't be updating the game at all until Bethesda released the 64-bit exe next week.

Same here(2500k) I have a 4GHz overclock on mine. I reverted back to High settings and now everything is silky smooth. Ultra was a little too much.. even with my 580

Liquid is there any way you could send me the 1.1 as well??? or link it in the O.P.?? Thank you so much ahead of time... include some instructions as I know my shiat, but not sure if i just need the .exe or need to make some other changes to revert as well
Anyone tried the Realistic Colors and Real Night mod?
I like it. Nights are much better but it's a bit too dark in the day time. No performance change as far as I can see.

Any word on when to expect that Bethesda sanctioned large-address-aware patch?
Taking a break from Skyrim for right now until that comes out, which is probably for the best since every other game I own feels neglected and scorned. More time for Saints Row the Third!

Result looks more or less the same as current FXAA methods, no?
Only other method I used was the one you posted. This doesn't change the colours as much I don't think.
This one's fucking awesome.

Thanks for the advice guys, I finally decided to simply run the game on high configuration and it works really fluidly with or without fog, I'll let ultra for SLI/Crossfire Enthusiasts.
That realistic colors mod looks awesome btw.

It is pretty awesome.
Nights are infinitely better. Some people might think it's too dark but I feel it's more realistic.

Himmelsrand: http://www.abload.de/img/tesv2011-12-0916-44-2s8r6n.jpg
Saturation is a little lower with the new mod and gamma a little higher (making darks darker, hence darker nights and some would say black crush). Doesn't look like anything that can't be done by adjusting those two settings with any existing shader injector.
One thing I like about Himmelsrand is that I get what looks like FXAA just on transparencies like the trees and stuff (even with FXAA and transparency AA off) where I don't get that with the other one. Are you getting that too, Enco?
Thanks for the comparison shots.
There's not much difference apart from the darkness.
My 460 hits the 20's there too. It's the only city that makes my GPU crawl. :/

Some sections of Riften drop pretty low at seemingly random spots near the water overlooks as well?? but yeah markarth is the test it seems
I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. Dungeons feel a lot more dangerous and traps are very very difficult to see. I love it.
Two pics, no real variety but enough to show you how dark it can get.
Yea, it's pretty dark. Just went into my first dungeon and damn. I had to use a torch in some places.
My band of four:
Sadly, the abandoned dog I found (Meeko) died in the dungeon a few hours later.
edit: v1.3 is out today I think (the mod). The change log has been update but no new files yet:
edit 2: Should be out in a few minutes according to the comments. Not sure about time zones
edit 3: Ok, it's out now. Go get it!

I tried the mod, it's really good dungeons are darker and overall lightning is more "believable" I would say, the only problem is that when ENB series comes I'll most likely have to get rid of it.

There is a mod that I had linked in the OP that lets you have multiple d3d9's but I'm not sure if that's what you're shooting for.
I'm more looking for something that does only CC and doesn't have to load anything else. All the FXAA injectors give me terrible performance even with only CC turned on.

I don't know about you guys, but after 30 hours I'm kinda happy with the default favourites setup. I tried using the hotkey mod, but having to press left bumper as well was annoying and I get all panicky in game and don't remember which hotkey is which.
What I really want is a mod that will allow me to assign a separate favourites menu for each direction of the D-Pad. What I'm trying to say is that I can assign 2 particular items to up, 2 to right, 2 to left, 2 to down. Then, when I press those buttons I only have to cycle through two or three favourites.
BTW, anyone know why the the side buttons on the D-Pad do nothing by default?
