Skyrim Revisited Pre-Release Feedback


Recommended Posts

Today I have released an update to Book Covers Skyrim which delivers strictly vanilla style new textures and meshes for the spell tomes but I have to confess Hiro's are attractive.

 

I have two comments about Hiro's mod - the textures only fit the vanilla meshes and finally they are not a power of two in size which may have an impact on scaling of mipmaps in the game.

Thank you for that feedback Daniel, saw your update and already installed it :), but had Hiro's in my load order for a while now. Still, with that information I think I will remove it. Thanks again.

I have just uploaded an optional "Revert to vanilla Spell Tomes" file for folks who prefer an alternative Spell Tome texture replacer. It is an easy way to keep the choices open with very little maintenance.

 

Simply use Book Covers Skyrim followed by the optional "Revert meshes" download followed by your preferred Spell Tome replacer.

i was wonder if anyone has tried out elemental dragons https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62493/? with SRLE I was watching Gopher's Testing of this mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBC0eCYzENQ

and thought i would be an interesting addition.

Looks interesting, but the fact this mod gives items that do things like give you additional perks could be seriously game breaking, i.e. making you an invincible beast.

I am pretty sure he means DLC Main Aggressive IP 2.0.3.

 

BTW, in the not too distant past (i.e. using the various recent memory improvements, but before 2.0.3) I have had occasional CTDs with the large battles and have thought about using the DLC No Battles Aggressive IP 2.0.3 version. I wish there was a "small battles" version that cut the number of combatants in half or so. (I am fairly sure the CTDs I occasionally had (and that were only semi-reproducible) were due to the huge resources of have such huge battles while running lots of HD armors textures and meshes, all the AIs, etc. The one in the Helgen-Ivarstead mountain pass was particularly prone to crashing. But maybe it's better now - I  haven't encountered these battles yet with 2.0.3)

My first impression of the mod (Elemental Dragons) was not highly favorable, but I only watched 30 minutes or so of Gopher's vids on this mod (which run to 3+ hours so far I think).  I'm not sure why it didn't appeal to me, but it just didn't seem like it would add much to the preexisting dragon mods.

 

Speaking of dragon mods, I did think Dragon Engine https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58813 looked interesting especially combined with Deadly Dragons.  This mod ads various splotches of color (tint masks I think...) which make the various dragons look unique - combined with Deadly Dragons increased variety of dragons this looks quite interesting.  (I m pretty sure it is entirely cosmetic though.)
