All I gotta say is...Wow that looks mighty impressive. I'm hoping next gen The Elder Scrolls looks like this. :shock:

WhatSkyrimLooks Like When Youre Running 100 Mods At Once

original.jpg

My copy ofSkyrimwould usually fall over once I started running more than, say, 8-10 mods at once. So I've got no idea how modder Unreal has managed to get around 100 mods running at once. I'm just going to assumesorcery.

His site catalogues the adventures his rig is taking running that much stuff at once, showcasing not only which mods he's got running (and why), but also some of the most impossibly beautiful screenshots I've ever seen for the game.

Seriously, the fact these are screens taken from a version of the game that's even remotely playable blows my mind. That grass (the one thing that does seriously hamper fps) looks like it travelled back in time from video games, circa 2017.

For the full rundown of the mods used (and the specs running them), visit the link below.

Most of the ENB junk looks stupid in motion. Heck, it looks stupid in these pictures. But yeah, Skyrim looks good with mods. A shame nobody can fix how boring it is.

My Skyrim with 100 mods looks like an error message. :P Some day I'll try out his version, he probably installed them in an order so that they wouldn't conflict with one another.

Quite purdy, but he mentioned in his FAQ that with his best grass mods (Which I'm guessing are the ones used on the screenshots) his fps drops to the 5-30 range. Still even in the more playable looking video it's really good looking.

I thought this was a bullshot thread when i saw that first picture, i thought it was a real life pic or something lol.

This is just stunning, on par with Crysis i'd say. Then again when you run Crysis with Mods there's no comparison right..

I've tried to use several ENBs and they all look pretty bad. I might be doing something wrong, but I feel like certain times of day will look good, while others just look bad. Also not too hot on the blurriness that accompanies the mod.

How can you be part of the master race and not ever use mods, mods are probably my fav thing about PC gaming( besides the games themselves)

by the time worthwhile mods come out, im usually done with the game.

and being an adult with money, i have a hefty backlog of games i need to play. I used mods when i was a kid and had to play the same 1 or 2 games for the entire year because thats all i had for christmas/birthday money for.

i mean there are rare occurrences where mods can justify replaying a game, or multiplayer mods where they can change the game... but for the most part mods are worthless. Im not gonna replay skyrim because now there is 50% more grass.

That's the negative side of a massive modding community. Yes there are good ENB configs and yes they aren't difficult to find, they're there along with the tons of absolutely disgusting ones made from the same people who make... anime mods.emot-barf.gif

I doubt they will look that good, unless you're talking about next gen and not the one that just started with Wii U. No way in f*ck are PS4/720/WiiU games gonna look that good.

you will be surprised what could be achieved on a 500$ (if they're 500$ systems) next gen system at 1080p/30fps. I do believe these kind of graphics can be done on real next gen system but maybe with less ati aliasing.

It would be impossible for the next gen consoles to run that Skyrim at 30fps unless they were to cost above $1000. Simply because the guy who did those screenshots has a 2500K @ 4Ghz + GTX670 @ 1200/7000 and only gets 8fps on average. That means the next gen consoles would have to have hardware that has not even been released. Could they do it? Sure but no way they would be less than $800 and they would STILL be taking a hit.

I understand the ENB can look unatural at times (which is why I completely avoid it in all games), but to say any of those pics look like sh!t is a huge stretch...

I do not care much for using mods also. I have used them for games but it is rare. WoW was the only game i used a bunch of mods for but other games if I actually used them it was only one or two at most.

but you actually know how to use them atleast, i dont care if some people find value in them or not. for every person that loves modding their game, there's someone who doesnt mod at all. when i asked him if hes used them before he just avoided the question by replying, they usually dont work, which everyone knows is bullsh!t.

Once I can afford some more upgrades to my rig, I want to switch to a better ENB. The one I have looks better than vanilla skyrim, but the best ENBs I've seen are all known to cause slowdown on weaker systems.

it's the common remark of someone who used one or two mods and didnt install them corectly or got some junk mod. I fail to see how someone could not enjoy new armors, weapons, houses, questlines, and spells. Stuff like that

I've tried to use several ENBs and they all look pretty bad. I might be doing something wrong, but I feel like certain times of day will look good, while others just look bad. Also not too hot on the blurriness that accompanies the mod. AAllxxjjnn

I like the RCRN mod instead.
