Mods & Old Computers

Post » Tue Sep 18, 2012 6:23 pm

I have an old computer. And an office computer at that. It couldn't play Oblivion, mainly because of some pixil shader thing from what I've read. It can run Morrowind, but it was a bit laggy so I reduced the draw distance to minimum. I can just pretend that the province is being attacked by fog demons or something. However, I still want to improve the game as much as I can. I've installed many of the recommended mods that I've read about - better bodies, better heads, better clothes. Two add-ons for better clothes. New beast bodies. 1024 resolution add-ons for armor and weapons. 1024 resolution female armor variants. A few others as well, but those were mostly for flavor. I read that the 1024 resolutions ones could slow me down, which is why the guy also released 512 versions, but I haven't noticed any problems. Granted, nothing seems to look as good as I had expected. Better than what it was, though. Well, worse on the beast races for some reason. It seems like mods are really unkind to the beast races, even with mods that supposedly improve their functionality.

I don't know what my graphics card is. Some integrated one, though, so it's horrible. I also only have 1 GB of RAM, since I have Vista and it automatically eats the other GB I had installed. My processor speed is listed as "Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz 160 GHz".

What other graphics boosting mods would I be able to run on my decrepit old machine? With draw distance so low, I can't see much, but I'd like to see some better stuff when I do get through the fog.
