» Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:51 am After a year or more of no Skyrim on any of my machines, I finally took the time to get a fully modded Skyrim setup on my newest gaming rig (a Xidax rig that is probably the best machine I've ever owned . . . around 3.5GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 with 4GB).
Have been tweaking a bit and have an 'interim' playthrough going (up to mid level 5). I've already done the no-no of swapping mods in and out with that playthrough so if it ever goes belly up I will not be surprised.
However, I can always start one more time. If after 1000+ hours of play and countless mod installs I still have not "beaten" the game the only moral to take away is to keep trying!

So with that said, I'm curious about any well-informed feedback on my penultimate mod list and load order. This set seems to run pretty well. One thing I'm not entirely happy about:
1. I seem to recall, with a previous install, a body slide that allowed me to modify virtually all aspects of a toons anatomy (maybe female but definitely male) as in: forearms, calves, thigh length, thigh width, etc. etc. I wasn't able to locate that, and the particular setup I have here doesn't allow anything except biceps to be tweaked.
And a couple things I wonder about:
2. I see I had downloaded "Amazing Follower Tweaks" at some point in my NMM download list (my primary method to recall the last load order I enjoyed), but I cannot recall exactly how this mod compares to Ultimate follower Overhaul. I generally like Ultimate follower Overhauls, but a couple things that might make me switch: being able to tell followers to chop wood till their inventory is full, being able to tell followers to "setup camp" and thus deploy their own tents and stuff, as well as "break camp."
3. Based on the general themes in the set I list above, any suggestions?
