I agree with most of what you said z929669 especially about the rocks as I was thinking the same thing. No mention of HD-2k though which I thought according to the compiler was the current favorite for the next STEP revision? I surprisingly like the textures used from SMIM for the columns of the houses. I also like the look of the wider panels for the walls but your reasoning makes sense about why they are not realistic. The HD-2k tree column textures just look a bit weird too in my opinion with the horizontal lines around the columns and random axe cuts in them. As for serious hd well I think SRO is very similar if not the same base textures. I think SRO is better because it seems to have increased contrast and sharpness which is really noticable on the rocks and trees. You can notice again the sharpness increase on the wolf or bear pelt shown on the interior between these two textures. With the rocks I think the thing that spoils HD2k's rock walls is the fact that the rocks are very angular with sharp planes of cleavage. This could be believable but isn't really since the whole wall looks sanded down to a smooth plane and just doesn't look very three dimensional and hence realistic. If this was real you'd think there would be random sharp outcrops. The river rocks are less likely to have outcrops obviously cause they have been smoothed by the water and it's easy to give them the three dimensional looks because they are round via texture shadows etc.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=14070#%27,%20%27fcontentarea%27%29; Might want to check out this. Personally I like most of the SRO textures more then HD-2k but each to there own I guess. Edit: I understand this only shows a small portion but from what I can see in the linked comparison I think SRO is better and if i ever get around to it I'll try to do more comprehensive comparison though uni is killing me at the moment.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7554 Description: Did you ever notice that Falkas has a two handed sword, although he can wield one handed swords better? And why isn't he wearing a companions armor? Or his brother, Vilkas, is a master in 2h weapons and his defaultequipment only gives him a 1h sword? Or why do orks have a lousy armor,although they have great smiths and mines in their villages?This mod aims to make followers better and more lore friendly. - Stat tweaks and perkscorresponding to the lore of each and every charakter. This will make some more specilized. But it just seems strange, that e.g. straight fighters have sometimes a better stat in a magicschool than with their weapons. You get the picture. - A tweaked Specialized Followersfrom sushisquid is included in this download as an option. This means working combat scripts -> different fighting styles and so on... - Classeshave been modified for better follower progression, consistancy, and where needed, new classes were added. It just didn't make sense that a pure fighter should level his Magicka Pool, or a pure Spellcaster his Stamina, Heavy Armor AND Light Armor. What was that all about!? - Inventory tweaks.New Armor in Specialized Beauty Version for Annekke, Areana, Eola, Iona, Jenassa, Jordis, Ghorbash, Golldir and Erandur. If you want these armors in a different version, or altogether anyway, scroll down to the bottom of this page and follow the links. - All followers are either Protected (like essential) or you can choose Vanilla Settings (NP). - All followers level with you up to level 100. Or at least 81, since that's the default max. ;P - Every character has been givin the Light Step Perk,which shouldn't trigger any traps IF you're sneaking. I just hate it, you're going into a dungeon notice all traps and avoid them. And suddenly behind you, you can hear >>BOOM!<<, >>KAWANG!<<, >>UHG!<<, etc. Nope. I'm just one of those players, that doesn't want to stand around commanding my followers where to step next. In real life I just could point to trap and my follower would know not to step on it. And if I command them around, they will walk into the trap anyway... So, this is the first mod, that fixes that. - Magic users have more spells.But it depends on their magic pool, if they will be able to cast them... Via console you could change that manualy... but seriously, I wouldn't. Just wait until they reached the appropriate level... ^^ - Fighters have armor and weapon perks corresponding to their initial status.- Females have an appropriate stance (not so hulky anymore). - Beauty versions have a minor "face" lift,making the characters more natural and, in my opinion, slightly more beautiful. Don't worry, the changes are very minor. After looking at everybody in the ck, it's obvious that nobody from Bethesda's designers took drawing or anatomy classes. E.g. they placed the eyes where normalythe forehead is - on the top 1/3 of the head, although eyes are normalymore in the middle of the head... Or the blocky/edgy cheekbones... really you could open a can with those. I adjusted that a bit.THIS MEANS: I ADJUSTES SHAPES NOT TEXTURES. ALL BODY MODS AND SKIN TEXTURES COMPATIBLE. I would go so far and tell you to download some if you haven't already.... Concerning non-beauty versions: They are Vanilla. - Hunting Bow Fix. - Lydia Marriage Fix. Obsolete with patch 1.5 - Illia Rehire Fix and she's marriagable. - Optional Better hair (no texture changes, this means no eyeliner, makeup, just shape changes). AND FULL COMPABILITY with other hair mods. That was a lot of work. You will also be able to choose these!!! - Followers get out of the way a lot faster. - BOSS Support. PLEASE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT BOSS, BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND BOSS. IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT BOSS DOES, THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO ASK, BECAUSE YOUR QUESTION IS SOLVED. Really. And if you have a question regarding BOSS write it in their forum. I am not the author of BOSS. And for people who still think I'm the author of BOSS: Ignore the message. TO SEE THE PROGRESS/UPDATES OF BETTER FOLLOWERS LOOK AT THE LAST TAB (READ ME) ON THIS PAGE. I haven't covered it all, hence, there are was so much! :) - Optional: No more "I'm sworn to carry your burdens" from Lydia: - Sleeping Ai for Housecarls. - Marriagable NPCs edited (all regular Followers were already edited) Roogal - Havent tried but looks to cover more stuff then is already covered in the unofficial skyrim patch.

found this one might be better https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=62#content

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10579 Description: Better Horses is an overhaul plugin for the horses of Skyrim, inclusive of features such as saddle storage, whistle commands and trampling as well as many configurable stat tweaks. Better horses aims to make Skyrim's horses how they always should have been, useful, while leaving as many changes as possible down to the individual player's preference. Before you begin using this plugin, you should read up on each of the included features and get your head around what, exactly, Better Horses will be changing in your game. Full documentation on these features can be found in the README among the links below or in the in-game manual, "How To Train Your Horse", which can be found lying around at any of the major stables in Skyrim. Roogal - Something to keep an eye on as still quite a few bugs so wouldn't recommended install. Mod dev supposed releasing new update in the future.

Well thanks for pointing that out I guess. Most of my posts seem to be useless so I guess I'll stop. Sorry for trying.

Ok sorry should have review history better I only just found this forum and step a few days back so should have investigated more thoroughly. Feel free to delete thread.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9842 Description: Every follower in the game got these two fixes: 1 - Fixed Hunting bow bug. You can just trade with them, remove their crap hunting bow and give them a nice improved bow. They'll use it and never going to respawn this hunting bow again. 2 - Changed level cap to 81. It varies but followers were capped on level 30, 40, 50. The only follower that would level with you past level 50 was J'zargo. Now all followers will level with you. NOTE1: 81 is the maximum level a player can reach. NOTE2: These two fixes work regardles of your save beeing new or preexisted. NOTE3: Because there's nothing "mystical" about the invisible bow anymore, followers will start using real ammo. They still have an unlimited invisible stock of iron arrows but will use only if they run out of good arrows. === IMPORTANT! === I did this all in an unintrusive way. No code at all. Only configuration/editing so there's no chance of breakage. I'm also not changing vanilla stuff without reason. The purpose of this mod is fixing annoying bugs while keeping the defaults. Roogal - Several fixed in this mod have been fixed in recent update. However still no reason to not install this mod as it appears to be safe and fixes many more issues not covered by update. Might be worth looking at improved followers but might conflict / overide some settings in this mod.

Discussion thread: Weapon Retexture Project by Millenia Wiki Link Description: This is an ongoing project aimed to have a high-resolution texture for every single weapon in Skyrim. Everything is made from scratch by yours truly. Roogal - Havent tried yet will update when I get around to it. Merly posting because it seems like a mod to keep an eye on and the screenshots look quite good. Seems also like it covers weapons not included in step? Might turn out to be more comprehensive then the other mods though it hasn't been updated in a while.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10579 Description --------------- This mod appends the skill improved to the name of every skill book, and loots skill books to your inventory without reading so you can save them for later. In Skyrim, I always try to minimize leveling of skills I am not using. To that end, this is an ease-of-use addon which will append to the end of ALL skill book titles the name of the skill improved in parentheses. "The Refugees" becomes "The Refugees (Light Armor)", "Night Falls on Sentinel" becomes "Night Falls on Sentinel (One-handed)" etc. I imagine it will be similarly useful if you are the type to avoid books for skills until you get to the 90-95 range to make those last few grueling points that much easier. I added a script to every skill book that allows you to loot it without reading. You can still read the book in your inventory for the requisite skill boost. If your save is already in a cell that contains a skill book, you need to go outside and come back in for the script to take effect. Please note that this mod is English only. The script and such should still function in other languages but all the skill books will have English titles and contents. If you have any other mods which edit the same books they will likely also conflict, only the last loaded will probably function.Roogal - For most part it works but still issues and rare crashes. All the ideas are pretty cool so I'll be keeping an eye on and author has informed on page that he will probably update the mod in the future and release an entire new version soon. Edit - As frihyland said i used wrong information / mod when i first posted.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8502 Note - Not for current use (to watch) Description: Merchants from all across Skyrim can now profit from the Dovahkiin's adventures. With this mod the amount of gold that a merchant has depends on how much you trade with them. Buy or sell expensive items and the merchant may have extra gold when you next visit. Most shops will just receive extra gold when they are profitable, but blacksmiths will sometimes receive extra ingots and alchemy stores can receive extra potions. Some merchants also receive rare items after their store has received high trade volume.This currently works for all merchants in Solitude, Whiterun, Windhelm, Riften, Markarth, Falkreath, Morthal, Dawnstar and Winterhold as well as all Fences, Dark Brotherhood and Trade Caravans. Roogal's Opinion - Works ok, problem is the decay rate is too high (increased amount of gold decreases with time). Not sure where info is saved so you might need to be careful with saves and this mod but haven't experience problems so far. Hopefully author will release further updates soon.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8328 Description: This is no Retexture, this Mod was made with the creation kit and is compatible with every Snow Mod re-texture too, so you can download any other Snow Mod re-textures from the Nexus to make the Snowflakes even nicer. The Weather is various (as Vanilla), this mod affects the Medium Snow and the Heavy Snow Storm. Roogal - Makes snow storms seem more like storms. Also check out more rain if you like this one. https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8562

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9573 Description: Small mod that enables more arrows to stick in humans/creatures. Roogal - Haven't tried yet but don't see why it wouldn't work. Possibly essential for archers as better chance of getting more arrows back.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4408 Description Higher detailed dragons.Majority of the work done is making 1024x2048/2048x4096/4096x8192 packages available. Roogal - Havent tried yet but don't see why it wouldn't work and screenshots look promising.

Adds more birds and hawks to the world, and more bats to dungeons Roogal - More birds is always a good thing but imo. Seems to be more dragons then birds . I'm hoping in the future that this mod author introduced flocks of birds and further increases bird spawn rate.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9323 Note - Not for current use (to watch) This is a mod that provides hold guards with all new custom-skinned, lore and climate themed hold-specific outfits, along with randomized helm variants. No more full-helmed identical guards at every hold, and no more short sleeves in the blizzards of Winterhold. Roogal Opinion - This mod again has a good premise but still has compatibility issues. Worth keeping an eye on till it becomes stable.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10336 Note - Not for current use (to watch) Description: This mod aims to make thievery in Skyrim more rewarding, as well as a bit more challenging. It is being built in 3 phases, each of which will go a bit farther towards satisfying your inner kleptomaniac. Main features: - Added stealthy ways of getting around the five major cities (Solitude, Windhelm, Whiterun, Markarth and Riften). These can include tunnel systems, rooftops, ladders, hatches in roofs etc. - Added vaults beneath the five major cities. These have a large City Guard presence and require keys to access, but have plenty of loot. So far only Solitude, Markarth and Whiterun vaults are completed. - Added NPCs to guard various shops and houses during night hours. Poor areas may have Guard Dogs, shops and middle-class have Night Watchmen, and richer residents have hired Housecarls. - NPC thieves sometimes prowl targets at night. These are much smarter than the Riften thieves, they sneak around specific houses and shops and will steal items laying out. They only head out on specific days of the month, so seeing them can be somewhat rare. - Three varieties of specialty arrows have been added. Immolation Arrows light the target on fire, Noisemaker Arrows cause thethrow voice effect at their impact point, and Blinding Arrows knock their target out of combat for a short time. These arrows can be found in various Thieves Guild caches, or purchased from Tonilia in the Thieves Guild HQ. - Added additional loot and items to houses and shops across Skyrim. Not a huge amount, but enough to hopefully make burglary feel a bit more rewarding. Opinion - Lots of issues with step / other mod compatibility and would not recommend install at the moment. I posted it here because the idea is a good one and if it can become compatible with other mods then it's worth keeping an eye on.

Discussion thread: Better Quest Objectives by whickus Wiki Link Description: Have you ever wanted to turn those quest markers off but couldn't because the quest description doesn't give you any indication of where to search for your objective, so you're forced to blindly make a beeline to that marker, taking the wonder of exploration out of it? That's why I've created Better Quest Objectives! What I've done is edited nearly 250 quest objectives/descriptions, spanning over 160 quests, that have super vague or even non existing descriptions of where you're supposed to head next. For example: This Guy tells you to go talk to That Guy. Well, That Guy is in a town you haven't been to yet because you're brand new to the land of Skyrim so you have no idea where that town is. Also, nothing in the quest description even mentions the name of the town. You're just supposed to remember the name of the town that This Guy mentioned. This is even worse if you picked this quest up 30 hours ago and haven't touched it since, which means you've probably forgotten the details of the spoken conversation. In this situation, I've changed the quest objective from: "Talk to That Guy" to "Head to This Town at the eastern base of This Mountain and talk to That Guy" This will allow you to progress the quest by actually navigating your map and not blindly following the quest marker. I've left certain quests with ambiguous descriptions alone since finding the locations is supposed to be a riddle. Also, if the quest involves a journal that is supposed to shed light on the objective's location, I've edited that journal instead of the actual quest description. That way, you can still deduce the location of your next objective by reading any documents that pertain to the quest. This mod also cleans up various typos and inconsistencies (for example, misspelled names or referring to a statue as a chalice, etc). If you find any remaining glaring errors, let me know and I'll fix them. Roogal - I believe it's essential and I haven't found any issues. Interested to hear opinions.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10361 https://sots-eye-candy.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/skyrim-ck-scripting-tutorial-dynamic.html Description Skyrim looks good, but it can always look better. One thing we can do is add some more dynamic lighting to scenes to increase realism. However, by doing this, you will quickly learn about one the engine's biggest limitations: You can't have more than 4 shadow casting lights visible at a time (usually). Otherwise, the engine will choose which lights to kill based on viewing angle, distance to player, etc. Roogal - I haven't tried this myself but it looks to be a usefully tool and if I ever get enough time to be modding I will likely utilize. I believe there are already a few mods using this on nexus which is how I came across.
