Skyrim Mods

@ciribi ​ asked for mod recs so I’m posting it here because it’s easier. Note: these mods are for base Skyrim, not Skyrim Special Edition. I’m purposely not including any mods that adjust the textures or meshes of the game, as I don’t know how powerful your PC may be. Also I’m not including gameplay overhauls, as the preference for those is subjective (though I do recommend Requiem if you want difficult gameplay) Now, without further ado, the mods in no particular order:

-

SKSE - Idk what this mod does but almost every other mod out there requires it, so it makes the list. Super easy to install.

SkyUI - Pretty much everyone has this mod. It makes the UI prettier and more intuitive. Also adds the mod menu, which, like SKSE, a lot of mods require.

Alternate Start - Live Another Life - Allows you to skip the longass intro of the game, and provides ~roll playing~ opportunities if that’s your thing.

RaceMenu - Allows you to heavily manipulate your character’s face and body using a ton of new sliders. Also allows you to grab your character’s face by the meshes and edit it from there.

ShowRaceMenu PreCache Killer - Utility mod that needs explaining: if you use the console command “ShowRaceMenu” to edit your appearance past the start of the game, then a lot of your skills are altered to be much lower. This mod prevents that, allowing you to edit your character’s face and body on the fly without having to worry about losing stats.

LeanWolf’s Better-Shaped Weapons - Adjusts the meshes for weapons to make them more realistic; a lot of the weaponry in skyrim, while looking pretty, are horrifically impractical. This mod fixes that. Also adds sheathes to all weapons, including claymores which rest on your back.

Immersive Armors - Another popular mod. Adds a ton of armors n shit. Most are lore immersive. Ones that are not can be disabled.

Immersive Weapons - Adds mostly immersive weapons. Companion mod to Immersive Armors.

Interesting NPCs (3DNPC) - Mod that adds a TON of new characters and companions to this game. All are voice acted and are quite unique. Some of the NPCs are far better than others (same goes for the voice acting,) but overall I enjoy this mod quite a bit.

Inigo - Listen I dont wanna sound like a furry but imma bouta risk it ALL for this cat man. The ONLY companion mod I’ll ever download. He has his own (incomplete) quest and quite a bit of dialogue Cannot recommend enough. Last update was in 2016 but the author promises to update soon.

(the list got too long)

Bandolier - Bags and Pouches - Gives you equipment that can enable you to carry more, like (surprisingly) bags and pouches. All are craftable, but some can be found.

Sounds of Skyrim - Complete LE - Adds a ton of new sounds to the wilderness, cities, and dungeons of skyrim.

Wet and Cold - Popular mod that adds wet/frost effects to the player. You can also allow the mod to give you debufs, such as slow movement when stuck in a blizzard.

Expanded Towns and Cities - In a shocking twist of events, this mod revamps the towns and cities of skyrim. Makes them look busier, cluttered, and all around more realistic.

Inconsequential NPCs - Populates the towns and cities of skyrim with, as you could guess, inconsequential NPCs who do nothing other than add a little lore to the game. Some are voiced.

Player Headtracking - Mod that has your character’s head actually face people when talking to them/look at people as they walk by. Also gives the player expressions when looking at particular npcs you like or dislike. Idk why but it made me IRRATIONALLY annoyed that the PC always just looked forward with a blank expression, especially considering that Morrowind and Oblivion featured PCs with at LEAST headtracking. This mod fixes that.

Moonlight Tales - Werewolf and Werebear Overhaul - To the surprise of no one, I had a werewolf mod here. This mod completely changes how lycanthropy works in the game, and allows you to adjust it to your desire. Also adds a ton of skins that you can choose for yourself and other werewoofs. Oh and it adds playable werebears. Woo.

Cutting Room Floor - Adds quite a bit of cut content to skyrim, including npcs, quests, and items. I haven’t even discovered the full amount of things this mod restores; it’s quite substantial.

Dovahkiin Relaxes Too - Allows the player to engage in animations, such as sitting by a fire, drinking, eating, and all that stuff. It’s Lore Immersive(tm) though you do get a buff if you’re (relaxed)

i dont remember anymore. I dont have my PC near me to check lmaooo

Brii and what she likes to wear to sleep in! Extra points if it’s not “absolutely nothing”

If she was safe and warm in her own bed, it would be absolutely nothing. But since I won’t get any extra points and since the Altmer don’t have the Nord’s resistance to cold, she bundles up like any other sensible person out in the wilds of Skyrim. uvu

If you don’t mind my asking, what’s Zac Posen done to earn your dislike?

i strongly disagree with him on project runway judging and he has more money than me and sometimes he smiles and covers his mouth like :3c and that activates my fight or flight response

yes or no: would you eat chicken nuggets dipped in apple sauce?

yes

hi!! i love how you approach musculature and was hoping, would you talk a little bit about how you approach back muscles in particular?

thank you so much!hmm good question. i basically use references but i don’t draw every line. everyone has their own drawing style so  you have to fiddle around how you draw. for me I try to draw…either detailed or less. it’s basically the overall shape is simple, but i do add enough details to balance out my style. it takes awhile but sooner or later you’ll find it. even until now i still don’t fully now how to draw muscles–that’s why my drawing seem very soft? a;ldsfkjljad i draw sometimes w/o refs to test myself, so when i look back at it i’ll know what i did wrong and try to remember it etc. I usually draw the whole shape first, then i add the details. hope that makes sense! :)

ciribi replied to your post “there’s a real serious chance that Trump has coronavirus rn and im...”

Tom Hanks has it too though. 2020 giveth and she taketh away :(

To be fair, Tom Hanks is a healthy man (as far as I know) in his 60s, who probably has the prudence and smarts to listen to his doctors.

Trump is a legendarily unhealthy dumbass in his 70s who can’t even be bothered to listen to his own CDC. Tom has a higher chance of survival than Trump.
