Hi. I am linking a screenshot of my Skyrim installation which is making me throw up a little inside. Take a look at the "beautiful" island in the little lake ahead and the river, which looks very jagged and of low detail. I have all settings on ultra and I've installed the following mods: Lanterns of Skyrim SE - Lanterns of Skyrim SE Realistic Water Two Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin - Verdant 1.4 SSE Edition Vivid Weathers Point The Way - Point The Way Wet and Cold - Wet and Cold v2_13 Book Covers Skyrim - Book Covers Skyrim SE - Desaturated Gecko's 4K Mountain Textures - Gecko's 4K Mountain Textures (4096) HD Road Signs - 2K and 4K - HD Road Signs 2K Version Nordic Snow (aka HQ Snow Texture) - NordicSnow 3.4.1 RUSTIC WINDOWS - Special Edition - RUSTIC WINDOWS - Special Edition - 2K Skyrim 2017 Textures - 4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap - Landscape Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE - Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE v2.72a Skyrim SE Improved Puddles Static Mesh Improvement Mod Enhanced Night Skyrim v04 Color Galaxy-85-0-4 Enhanced Night Skyrim v04 High Stars-85-0-4 HDLODs All In One 2k V2-76931-FullV2 I'm using ENB and ReShade and the Skyrim SE Re-Engaged ReShade and ENB by firemanaf (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1089/?) Can anyone please help me find the reason for this? Thanks, /John

I really need some insight to this, cuz I am not getting the gist apparently... My laptop is dated and I get that. What I don't is get is the fact I could run FO3 and FONV on my current rig (albeit, dated) Just fine with 100+ mods, all intensifying graphics and realism and it performed great without a hitch. This game(FO4) as it is, out of box is (or would be) a great overall game besides the obvious; WTF is wrong with the rendering/graphics/optimization/animations/detail in general?? Why, when based on a well used and consistant engine is it so F****** difficult to produce better looking interaction/immersion/graphics?? Matter of fact, it's not more immersive or graphically intensive at all compared to previous releases(or the mods that accompanied them, I Should say). I love the Fallout series and was very much looking forword to this release, however the sheer neglect of these things almost make the 8+ solid days spent playing feel almost hollow. I know I can't be the only one this dissappointed in a game that has amazing potential, but my only question is why? The hieght? The lack of indoor world space? The poor worldspace definately does NOT equate to piss-poor lack of performance on what might be concidered "low end" machines. Anyway, Any realistic answer to this would be more than welcome...

Weapon De-Grading I got this idea a few days ago that would make Skyrim so much more immersive, as well as adding a new reason for smithing. My idea is, after a certain amount of hits, your weapons quality will go down. For example, if you use your iron sword, which has been improved to superior quality, to hit your enemies, it will eventually go back down to fine, and, if you use it even more, it will go down to it's original stats, until you improve it once more. However, the endurance of a iron sword will be worse than that of a ebony sword, so while it may take around 30 hits for an iron sword to lose quality, it will take around 80 or 90 for the ebony sword to go down (these won't be the real figures). And, I know this will be extremely complicated, but if, for example, hitting cloth would take one endurance point, light armor two and heavy armor three or four, just for immersion. While this would be really good by it's self, there wouldn't be any dis-advantages to this mod. That would be where the two levels of 'improvements' that make your items worse would come in. So, if you haven't improved your sword it would eventually go down to 'poor' and later 'broken', with poor decreasing the stats a little bit, and broken making the weapon do close to no damage. This would make every one need to know a bit about smithing, or at least have the Helpful Blacksmith mod. It would also make the Whetstones mod very handy :wink: Now, I know this would be very hard to do, maybe even impossible, but I just had to put it out there in case any modders would pick it up. Thanks for reading :D And, would the author be able to make an MCM menu to go along with it, to change the amounts of hits before de-grading, and maybe even a SkyRe compatibility patch if needed?

When i first started skyrim, i was dissapointed over the lack of NPCS schedules. I found one mod which tried to help it, but it wasn't much to look at. I mean, Whiteruns healer just walk around the gildergreen, or stands and prays in front of a war victim. Uthgerd just sits in the bannered mare, doing nothing else. She is dressed as a adventurer, she acts like one, she even got a house which she only uses to sleep in! Anoriath says he hunt the game all by himself, still i never see him outside whiterun. Nazeem is described as stuffed up the jarls arse, but never do they talk or anything. It's all so stupid that all their potential is misused. My suggestion Make a mod which expands their schedule! Let Ysolda actually exchange wares between the Khajiit, let the farmers drop of wares with the local food merchant! Let the mercs get hired by other people then just you! Im not asking much, just improved schedules! Tarie and her sister never seem to get shipments or make clothes. Balimund don't send his apprentice to deliver items, and nobody go get stuff from them either. Untapped potential!!!! We want wanderers, adventurers, mercenaries, Salesmen, merchants, delivery, Proper blacksmiths, and court attenders! The nobles won't do! As said, they got potential which is unused, untapped, wasted! You shouldn't be the only person in game which can buy new weapons, clothes, or adventure around the realm! Thank you for reading, support this request and we maybe get this mod.

I recently been trying to build a new pc, as all my gaming so far has been done in a 6 year old laptop, (Can't even run skyrim on low at 60) and since this will be my first time building, I wanted to see if anyone was wiling to share some recommendations. Right now I am looking for something that can run some modern games at medium to high settings at least 50fps, 60 prefered, with little to no stuttering. My main focus would be skyrim (With ENB + Script intensive mods) and Fallout 4. I have a budget of about 500, but it can be expanded to 1k. I open to any suggestions, or current builds that you are currently using. I am completely new to this, so I know little to nothing about gaming builds.
