Has this been posted? QD Inventory. It's not perfect but it works till something better comes along:
There's no readme. To where do I install this mod?

Excellent! I will give that a try later tonight. I will be so happy if it works.
The interface folder should just go into the Data directory in your install location.
I am playing Skyrim on pc, but unlike most of my pc games I am actually running it to my 42" 1080p television instead of my monitor, because I think the game plays ok with the xbox controller and I like this option better.
Anyway, the text for quests and captions is a little small for me on the larger TV at the distance I am from the TV. I can read it, but it would be great if the font was a tad bigger.
Is there any way to increase the font size? I looked through the OP and didn't see anything. I tried Google too. Forgive me if this has already been answered earlier in the thread.

Hah I echo this question. I tried playing on my tv at first as well, but I felt like an idiot sitting 3 feet from the screen because I couldn't read the damn text! If there is a fix for this it would be sweet, this game definitely deserves more than what my laptop monitor can produce.
I can't be the only one here...

Alright gaf, so I finally got my copy yesterday and would like to modify it.
Here are my hardware settings:
i2600k @ 4.6
GTX 580 1.5gb @ (950core&shaders/2225mem)
8GB RAM
2560x1600
Since this is a RPG, I don't need 60fps at all times or anything so what I'd like to know is what mods can I use to max out the visuals while keeping the original style of the game. What I mean by this is that I don't like some of the over contrasted and over saturated look I've seen from FXAA injector and the advanced shaders mod
I'm looking to improve on what's there already unless there are some must haves like better night sky and such.
Any feedback is apprecaited.

I'm gonna be the guinea pig and test ENG patch 5. I tested patch 1 and it was terrible. This one supposedly fixes stuttering. I will report with in 20.

Been playing for about 20 hours now, and the Crash to desktop bugs just started rearing their ugly heads. Feels like I get one every 30 minutes or so, the crashing always happens when they're trying to load a new area. It didn't do this before around the 20 hour mark. Anyone know of a solution?

Yea, worse performance and I can't see a damn difference. I don't know if it's in some of the settings the patch comes with but I don't feel like messing with it as my game is as good as I want it to be right now.

So the Skyrim script extender is out (before the toolkit 
), and there is already a useful plugin:
http://mod.gib.me/skyrim/skse/container_categorization_1_1.zip
It forces the game to always categorize items in containers and not put them in a flat list.

Example so I fully understand what this means.
I'm testing it out now.
This means that every single container (chests, wardrobes etc) will have the same separation of items into categories (weapons armor books etc.) as your inventory and shops have.

INCREDIBLE. I will add this to mods as soon as I get done playing.
WOW thanks! downloading!

Ok, how to install it? There is no description and just coping it to DATA folder doesnt do anything.
You need to install the first release of SKSE (the Skyrim Script Extender):
http://skse.silverlock.org/download/skse_1_01_00.7z
If you use the 4GB/LAA loader you need the latest version to be compatible with the above:
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013
From what i read in comments that loader is not that stable, so i'll pass for now, but thanks for info.

So I used a third party Large Address Aware "maker" take my TESV.exe and make it large address aware...
Now i'm seeing a TESV.exe.4gb thingy on the nexus... should i go back and change what I did, or do they both do the same thing?
Which is better and what have you guys done who have made your games LAA?

For the record.. I was getting the same thing and making my game Large Address Aware, SEEMS to have fixed the problem... not a crash since... There are surely other factors at play for many people causing these crashes but I have had luck making the .exe LAA
in my particular case I can only guess that after a couple hours the Ram usage built up to high levels and the game crashed as a result... LAA heightens the ceiling quite a bit and have had no problems... Add that papyrus thing in your .ini as well... posted above on this page .. i've had that there for a while...

I think so too plus it doesn't launch through steam or keep my play time. I'm picky about that.

I haven't.. and i applied the patch well after i had started the game... I got it off google, just put large address aware exe and it's a small third party thing that does a one time modification to the file...

game only TRULY uses two cores... the other cores are active but are not utilized... so unless you overclock your proc., it's not going to matter.

Well. I managed to go online with Steam yesterday, and set Skyrim to not automatically update before it... updated. Today I sign in and what does it do? Automatically update. I even checked the setting during the update, and it was still set to 'Do not update'.
WTF.
Now I'm getting crashes. YEY PC GAMING.

I am. What are your system specs?
I have the 3.4ghz i7

I'm actually using my TV as my monitor, so I'm running at 1080p. I'm also using Liquid ini settings with ugrids at 7, so it's better looking than normal Ultra settings (but more demanding), also using heaps of high res texture mods. I'm getting 30-50 outdoors and 60 indoors. If you ae playing on your actual iMac monitor, then I would prefer to play at native res but with lower settings, you can get 30fps at native with shadows a little lower (shadows are probably the most demanding setting) and it will look incredible.
Yeah I understand. I'm currently using an Athlon II X4 3Ghz. Jumping to the Phenom X6 that can overclock to 4Ghz would make a difference for my setup. Not a super huge difference, but a difference none the less.
Normally that setting resets itself if you launch the game from Steam. If you were running the old TESV.exe I don't know why Steam would automatically update with the setting turned off. That's literally the only thing it's useful for, so it would be funny if it doesn't even do that.

That embedded Intel is not that good. Run it on minimums and low LOD and shadows first then see if you have room for improvement.
Thanks, I missed this post and had to go looking for it. PM me if it's something important. Sometimes I'm gone for hours and things go by the wayside.
Posted this in the other thread as well. During the main quest line, a lot of PC users are apparently experiencing issues with Esbern. He's not talking during 3 of the quests which in turn means broken quests, doors don't open, events don't continue etc. and I just experienced this myself 20 minutes ago.
Here's the fix;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjreSGRvLyc
tl;dw it's basically using the Fallout 3 Mod manager and extracting the Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa from Data directory into the Data directory as well, as the game seems to have problems reading this .bsa files and does better with the extracted files.
In case anyone runs onto the same issue at some point during the main quest line.

I usually play on my desktop which runs this game great even without the Radeon Pro settings, but I'm going to visit my parents for the holidays and was wondering how my laptop would fair playing this with the Radeon Pro settings.
Processor
Intel Core i5-540M processor (2.53GHz, 3MB)
Graphics card
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830m
4GB RAM
I'll be playing on 1920x1080
Which Radeon Pro settings should I be using?
I'm just honestly worried about how loud it is going to be and the amount of heat that is going to be generated when trying to play (HP Envy 15).
Also steam automatically puts all of your saves on the cloud right?

This worked quite nicely. Where was this plugin posted, and are there announcements of any others being worked on? Maybe we can give a vendor 10 million gold now? *crosses fingers*
I don't think Skyrim supports Steam Cloud. You can use Dropbox and symbolic links though.
I did this with Minecraft and it works perfectly. You just need dropbox installed on each computer, you move your saves into a dropbox folder, then you create symbolic links on each machine so your game looks in the dropbox folder for the saves.
Here is a guide for Minecraft, you can just do the same steps but for the Skyrim save folder instead. (which is found in My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves)
