Even without the creation kit the modding community is already giving us some very good mods.

Currently I have:

- A mod that makes my char walk faster (good for moving around quickly without breaking immersion)
- The SKSE loader that fixes the magic resistance bug caused by the last patch
- A mod that adds some noise to distant objects to make them look more realistic.
- A .ini tweak that stops objects and textures from poping up in your screen.

So, what have you got installed so far?

Nope, I am going to wait till Skyrim gets patched.

None. Until we get the construction kit, it's far too likely these "mods" will mess up our game. We've already seen the fallout from the patch, which didn't interact well with any of these "mods" you've seen out there.

A mod that makes ore veins more visible and an enhanced inventory mod. Everything else, barring some ini tweaks, is vanilla. Even timescale :hehe:

Oh, and SKSE to fix the resistances, and a plugin for it to have categories in chests.

None yet. I'm patiently waiting for the CK. But what I would like to see is the ability to have more than one companion/follower (there is absolutely no reason why I can't have two guards as you see more than one person to a patrol) and horse combat; although I lost my horse fighting a frost dragon. It wandered off someplace and I didn't care enough to go find it.

1. Aeterna Circlets Improved.
2. Archmage Crafting.
3. Battle Mage.
4. Detailed Lips.
5. Fountain of Youth Beauty Project.
6. High Quality Eyes.
7. No Perk Prerequisites.
8. Tytanis-The Ultimate Mod (and it really is)
9. Unlimited Rings (though I limit myself to 3, anything more is just gaudy).

I think I'll probably get rid of them fairly soon though, I get the feeling that I should wait till they're completely finalised, and/or wait till they work properly with patches, and/or the patches make them obsolete.

No underwear for females. I know no shame.

It's the ugrid tweak.

Basically it makes the game load objects further away before you can see them.

None. I'm waiting for my second playthrough. Nothing in the game, besides the 1.2 patch which I reverted to 1.1, has been so annoying that I feel the need to patch my "vanilla" playthrough.

(Plus, things like SKMM, the CK, and more developed mods.)

Texture Mods (listing all of them would be too much of a pain ^^)

Chris2012 Whiterun HQ (awesome)
Skyrim HD (only Windhelm)
Serious HD landscape retexture (awesome)
Vurts Skyrim Flora Overhaul
HLP Night Sky
.....

otherwise I only got the 4 GB loader, Arrowsmithing and (since today) Tytanis Ultimate Mod.

Yuuuummmmm, vanilla

-Post-processing injector
-Cowardly horses
-Faster horses
-Horse whistle
-Enhanced blood textures
-Glowing ore veins
-Immersive thunder
-No more blocky faces
-That mod that's taboo on these forums

Other than graphical improvements like bigger textures, eyes, clothes, etc. and of course, the almost mandatory ini tweaks to improve the graphics and remove the compass and markers, the only real mod I am using is one that halves the speed of skill increases so that I can actually play most of the game as an actual person rather than some god-like overpowered superhero.

Edit: I am however, making a list of things than need changed ASAP when the CK is released. I REALLY want darker nighs/dungeons. I also would love to eliminate half the light sources in dungeons.... Who exactly is going around keeping candles lit in all these deep dark tombs that have been sealed for centuries?

-Horse sprint faster
-Cowardly Horses
-Shadowmere essential
-Cooking Food expanded, adds new recipes and foods that actually have long duration buffs
-Chest inventory sorter, need SKSE for it to work properly
-No Helm mod
-Blacksmith expanded
-Fletcher Arrow making mod
-Hi Res potions
-Hi Res Foods
-Hi Res Weapons
-Reduce weight on Pick and Woodcutter Axe

etc etc etc

if anyone could post these .ini tweaks that are "essential" for improving graphics? only one i ever did was for less skethcy shadows on mah face :/

Just a couple of graphic enhancement mods.
Iam not playing currently, waiting for a mod or patch that lets me adjust the difficulty better and makes normal use of various things less "abusive" and gamebreaking.
