Mods for Skyrim

Ok, so it's been a few days and the mods are starting to roll out. Lets post some mods that we think are cool or enhance the game. The game is great as is but that shouldn't stop us from seeing what the mod community comes up with.

I think a really good one is this.

No more blocky faces. This mod gets rid of the texture artifacts on the faces of the characters that make them look blocky around the nose and chin.

Not really anything good out yet, Im going to wait a few weeks or month.

Here are all the mods I have currently installed.

Skyrim Better Performance by Meritus 1.0

No More Blocky Faces by Xenius 1.3

Beautiful Skyrim by Masterdaz 0.2

Display time on loading screen by Kenney 1.0

Enhanced Night Skyrim by CptJoker 0.1

Detailed Faces by Xenius 1.0

Moon texture replacer pack by akindain 1.0

No Dirty Bodies - Caucasian Female Races by Viperslayer 1.0

Enhanced Blood Textures by dDefinder 0.01

I Wash - New Skin for Skyrim by Blocky 0.91

I recommend every one of these mods they make the game look alot better and the better performance increases fps and makes AA look better.

isnt the editior not even released yet. all there is right now is texture mods only

Yea mostly just texture but there are some that make the AA better and increase FPS.

Most of the mods are just rubbish. Some of them I really struggled to see any difference in texture wise. I just have the cursor one and the PS3 button icons.

This is pretty useful.

Unless it's something I would need to fix a major blemish in the game, then I'll be playing my first playthrough without mods. You can bet I'll be playing this game again with mods the second and third time around though. :) Thanks for the heads up mate.

I've been using;

-Skyrim Sunglare(really makes exploring in the day more satisfying)

-Enhanced Night Skyrim(looking at the night sky with the aurora in full effect looks incredible)

-Enhanced Blood Textures

-Improved Dragon Textures

-Detailed Faces & No More Blocky Faces

-Antiallias and sharpen effect(I don't know why but I really like this effect in the game)

-Aggressive Bloody Draugr(changes the Draugr skin to have some more blood on it)

-and of course, INI tweaks. So many INI tweaks.

Wait for the big name mod makers from Morrowind and Oblivion to start rolling out their mods. Will most likely take a few weeks or months. Also, planetelderscrolls may be the better site, unless they moved it over to Skyrim Nexus. You could vote on various mods and the site even did Hall of Fame mods, which made it very easily to identify which mods are recommended.MythPro1

Antiallias and Sharpen Effect one is def worth it imo.

Not sure if it's for better or for worse that there are already mods that fix things out when the game is not even a week old...the_ChEeSe_mAn2

Thanks for posting the mods everyone. I'm going to install some now.

The graphics are really bad for the level of performance the engine has on people's systems.

The sunglare is fantastic. I like the minor add-ons like that and it's really well done. Antiallias and sharpen is also incredible if you like having the sharper textures. Although I would suggest editing the A&SE file so that the sharpening effect isn't quite as intense. Enhanced blood is like sunglare, it's not something you really notice too much, but when it's not there it just doesn't look right.
