What are your 'cant live without mods' ?

Post » Tue Jan 28, 2014 12:28 pm

I'm not talking about the basic : Unofficial Patches, SkyUI, Quality Worldmap, SKSE, and BOSS.

Mostly interested in the other mods people here consider 'absolutely essential' for themselves. Mods that truly define your game and are the basis for most of your plays. Please try to keep your list to below 10 of the most important mods you use, except the above listed ones.

Myself I'd say my list would be:

1.) Vilja -or Inigo

2.) Skyrim Immersive Creatures

3.) Realistic Water Two

4.) SMIM

5.) Climates of Tamriel

6.) Sounds of Skyrim

7.) Better Dynamic Snow

Do you use any joke or mods intended to add humor to your game? Please list 1 or 2 of your favorites, if so..

I like that Swearing Mudcrabs mod..doesn't add much, isn't very big, and easily removeable, but just funny when you hit a mud crab and he starts swearing, especially when you aren't thinking and forget you have it loaded.

Last question.. Very small mods you use, that add an immense about to your game, considering they are very small mods :

I'd say my favorite would be Glowing Ore Veins..very small mod but adds soo much..On PS3 I hardly ever mined ore, but on PC I can't walk past one without mining it lol.

I never really minded low quality shadows in games but by the Nine, the Skyrim shadows were a mess! My system isn't super powerful so having shadows on high/ultra is a no go. Heck, I think Skyrim looks prettier without the dynamic shadows.

Armoury of Tamriel

Less Snowy Winterhold

A mod that allows for endless wod-cutting and a similar one for mining ore

but the only one that not only could I not play without, indeed I WOULD not play without, is Live Another Life.

I simply cant stand the botched beheading of the player at the start.
