Intro
I am making this short guide for those that got caught up in all the modding before playing the game and once you start modding, you are never happy with one or two small details but that is enough to stop you. Well, with this guide, everything works. Meaning, rarely crashes(~20hrs for me), perfect framerate(for the most part), still enjoyable even at high levels(I'm at 40 something today).
My Requirements
Knowledge
I don't plan on making this guide for any old user that just wants to install and go. I'm positive that anyone can follow this if they put some research into it. If someone wants to edit this guide to include new user specific details, feel free.
Hardware
Processor
I don't think any mod that I would include would require a top-tier rig but Skyrim is picky, especially with processors. AMD processors just don't hold up that well with Skyrim and even my 6700k struggles when overclocked to 4.5GHz in Raven Rock.
Graphic Card
The only real FPS killer that I recommend is ENB that Vivid Weather supplies.
Why mod Skyrim at all?
There are several issues with the base game that I just couldn't bear.
- There are too many bugs out there that break quest lines
- Solution: USLEEP
- The texture for the most part are distracting, especially the landscape.
- Solution: Any large texture pack: SRO, HD2K, etc...
- High level scaling is boring and very inconsistent
- Solution: HLE, PerMaZones, DFB
Extenders
- External programs or dlls that assist Skyrim.
