xxx78 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Another important part of skyrim that SRLE or extended have not touched is the broken loot, gold and enemy scaling system. In skyrim the player gets showered in gold from day one and the best armor and weapons drops from random bandits at level 20, and enemies level is the same as player. I prefer a more dangerous world where there actually is deadly enemies, and a system where rare loot is rare and where gold is more limited, making finding rare items so much more fun and rewarding. There is many mods out there that touch this subject and here is some of the best, I would love to see them included in extended. All mods is taken from dreadflopp's Deleveled Lootpack. MorrowLoot Ultimate by ChocolateNoodle (Core: remove high level/rare loot from loot lists and hand-place the best items around skyrim. Extra: Higher level enemies from start. ++more MCM options)Scarcity - Less Loot Mod by Syclonix (reduces ALL types of loot, even mod-added loot, so that there are less weapons and armor lying around, potions and gems are scarcer, and finding enchanted items is a genuine treasure. Merchants have less rare loot. Configurable)Gold adjustment by kuertee (Gold adjustment limits your income by adjusting gold, gems, lockpicks and soul gems acquired from chests and gold from coin purses and quest rewards. MCM configurable)Sold out - Merchants do not sell Rare Ingots by Etibe (This mod removes rare ingots and their corresponding ores from vendors throughout Skyrim restoring rarity.)

GrantSP Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 ok now i am confused 2 versions of Enhanced Mighty Dragons by 2 different authors on the nexus Enhanced Mighty Dragons Reborn - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73224/? Enhanced Mighty Dragons v.3 .0 https://www.nexusmods...im/mods/73228/?That's just... weird. Two modders grab the original, now free-to-use version and release them on Nexus and that's ok! Even the descriptions are just copy/paste from the original.Anyway based on the limited descriptions, the Enhanced Mighty Dragons Reborn has been updated to use USLEEP as a master so immediately that's a plus for that one.

Electrocutor Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) You seem to have a lot things that reduce your fps? For me, the only thing that ever bogs me down is when I'm running 4k textures and meshes in an extremely wooded/grassy area. Things like ETaC and such never touch my framerate (stays flexibly at 60 fps). I run GTX 670 4gb x2. The only thing that really affects my experience is stuttering. It's not overly prevalent, but noticeable. I suspect that if I tweaked distance settings, I could give the engine more time to pre-read textures to reduce this.

Electrocutor Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) The GTX 970 ram issue was corrected in a driver update long ago. Just wait for Pascal before upgrading. I just followed the SRLE guide then STEP recommended settings for the rest. At the very least, try setting your numthreads to the number of logical cores on your CPU. Skyrim defaults to 4 threads, but most people have 8. The only other difference I can think is that I am NOT using the ENB SMAA proxy plugin that you use in SRLE Ext, and instead am using 1.2x DSR and running Skyrim at 2103x1183, which then auto downsamples into 1080p for my monitor. a.k.a driver-based super-sampling.

Electrocutor Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Starting a new setup and tinkering around with various options for full coverage HD textures/meshes for use as a new base, I find that I much prefer the look of the Skyrim Realistic Overhaul textures, but the normals and parallax maps provided by Hein84 for SkyrimHD are far, far superior to what Project Parallax made for Vanilla and SRO.
