Hey guys, I have a serious mental barrier when dealing with mods... I cant look at one mod without being swarmed by all the information about other mods and if there is compatibility issues and I have no idea how to approach this stuff. It makes me dizzy and stresses me out to the point where I dont know if I can even do this.

I really want to play this game with good mods, I just dont have the mental equipment to deal with all the information.

Can someone please help me?

so...what exactly do you want help with?

Well, I know out of the box that I like Requiem, I havent seen all the overhaul mods but it has a number of good features like realistic carry weight and massive damage and all kinds of little stuff that makes everything realistic.

Frostfall, Hunterborn, Realistic Needs and Diseases, these three fit together pretty good as a realism package and I see that there is a patch for all four of these together.

The things that really make me dizzy is not knowing the difference between versions and what patches I need for them. I see a number of different animal mods that look like they would add to the hunting aspect and make better wildlife, but I keep finding that some animals dont get the same effects under hunterborn, or that some foods dont register with RN&D, and when you get out to about a dozen mods how do you know that they are all working together?

I see Skytest Realistic Animals and Predators, Real Wildlife, do they work together? Which one is better? Makes me really dizzy, I keep seeing wild over population in the plains and I dont know how to tell what mod is doing it or how to cut down on the spawns because it lags like crazy when I see herds of thirty or more...

I guess on the whole what I am looking for is help in making a mod set that helps make the game realistic. I cant just search 'realistic' or 'realism' and get mods like that so trolling through list after list of mods I feel overwhelmed by what I see.

There are other places I want to explore, but rather than flood the room with requests, right now if I could just get some help with realism I would really appreciate it.

One thread is enough.
