What are some of the best visual skyrim mods? I finally got the game and would like it to look as beautiful as possible. Also, what are the some of the community's other favorite mods which enhance the game ?

Thanks. :D

I use ENB myself, although I know some people don't like it, cause it ruins the original "atmosphere" of the game, but I really like it. Do keep in mind that there are a lot of ENB configurations out there, so you're going to have go through and see which one you like, and there are customization ones as well which retain the original atmosphere but lets you make other tweaks as you please.

Probably, but i haven't tried that WATER mod.. You can compare and see which one you like more. :) Also, these aren't visual mods, but they're a must have: - SkyUI - Quality World Map With Roads.

It ran like crap, also looked like crap as far as I'm concerned so I deleted it.

Some other MODS that are pretty cool:

Big bottoms - really gives a female touch to the females
No more blocky faces - Well... makes the faces less blocky
Glowing ore veins - Makes the ore veins way more visible
Dovakhin hideout - adds a basement to your Whiterun home

And while you are at it, download the Esbern voice fix in advance and save yourself a disappointment in game.

I really recommend Dovahkins Hideout. It is probably my absolute favourite mod. As for no more blocky faces, just get XCE Character Enhancement. It is by the same guy and contains No more blocky faces with a bunch of other mod's that enhance facial features, hands, feet.

Here are my must have mods for anyone playing on PC

- Quality World Map with Roads

- Categorized Favourites Menu

- Dovahkin's Hideout

- Crimson Tide or Enhanced Blood Textures

- Einherjar Armor (not a must have, but its my favourite lore friendly armour set)

- Enhanced Night

- Glowing Arrows V2 (Really good mod that makes the arrows have a glowing effect)

- Height Adjusted Races with True Giants

- JaySuS Swords - Main Menu Wallpaper Replacer HD

- Midas Magic

- Phendrix Magic Evolved

- PsychoSteves Dragon Priest Masks

- Skyrim HD - 2K Textures

- Sky UI - Sounds of Skyrim Dungeon/Wild

- Tko007's Skill Interface Retexture

- Tytanis - Visible Windows

- Weapon and Armour Fixes

- XCE Character Enhancement

Well those are some of my absolute favourite mods and I would not play without those.

My PC can't handle ENB, so I just slap some vaseline on my screen (more on the edges) and crank up the gamma.
