Here's everything you'll ever need to know about Skyrim

Do you want to pickpocket the underwear off female NPCs or ride a My Little Pony into battle? There's probably a mod for that.

Mods your fellow posters are using:
Skyrim Redone (SkyRe) is a comprehensive overhaul mod changing many aspects of the game such as perks, combat and AI

Check out this fucking quote tree full of mods
I'll add some of my favourites. These won't affect gameplay, just the world.
Environment mods? Environment mods!
Project Reality: Climates of TamrielSkyrim Bigger TreesSkyrim Flora Overhaul
These 3 mods are my absolute faves. I cannot imagine playing without them now, especially bigger trees has a huge impact. Around the Rift you actually feel like you're in an ancient forest, it is awesome.
More varieties of monster -
Skyrim Monster Mod
Patch for the monster mod to remove non-lore friendly additions -
SMM lore friendly
More variety in horsies -
Slof's Horses
Better and more varied wildlife -
SkyTEST Realistic Animals and Predators
Immersive Armors
Ultimate Follower Overhaul
It provides a
ton of new options for followers, including "You could really dress better" for when they just want to use their own equipment instead of yours, and "You're really important to me/Everybody dies" to specify if they can die.
Also, it lets you have more than one follower. And if you get on your horse when you're near some other dude's horse, your follower will just straight up jack it
and no one will even care.
Player Headtracking!
Basically, you know how when you're talking to a few people, and they look at whoever is talking currently? You know how when you're in third-person, you just look straight forward like you aren't even paying attention?
Well, this fixes that. Someone starts talking near you? You'll fucking look at them. Two people having a conversation? You'll keep looking back and forth between them.
Basically, this made me go from not ever using third-person to always using it in towns.
It's not exactly a game-changing mod, but it makes third-person so much more enjoyable.
And finally the mod we've all been waiting for
Gary's Real Mare Horse Mod
Version 0.3 improvements:
- Fixed eye texture
- Fixed seams on ass and mesh of that area
- Fixed seams on vulva
- New UVW alignment for all meshes
- Better buttocks at vulva/ass region
- Smoothed meshes
- Texture sizes for 4096 and 2048
- much rounder teats and udder, better textures
Oh yeah we're also playing Daggerfall and Morrowind in this thread.

Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
Although when my new computer finally gets shipped I may pick up Skyrim for PC too, just to play around with mods.
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
also the steam workshop started showing shit like 'fetish dungeon' in the common mods directory
i don't actually kill children though?
except that one time...
Skyrim can be real purty if you do it right:
my PC would probably blow up with all those mods
guessing its a mod
And download a few hundred mods for pretty 8->
yeah, there's a list here of just the graphical mods used for these shots:

ok this is badass
I might actually still have it installed I don't know
Is the DLC good?
Also if I play this again I'm gonna have to try and commit to not cheesing the skills system because suddenly shooting up a million levels makes it boring
This will be difficult because the level up system breaks so easily
I thoroughly concur
by the power of grey skull!
how do I do this? is it a mod?
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8978/
my party now consists of:
- sceolang (good dog)
- brelyna maryon
- brelyna maryon's conjured frost atronach
- flame thrall 1
- flame thrall 2
I can barely get enough magicka to summon the flame thralls, but I don't know if I'm ever gonna upgrade, because A. flame atronachs are cool and long-ranged like I am and B. I don't even wanna imagine navigating close quarters and towns with two frost or storm atronachs
maybe I'll make one of them a storm thrall eventually
but outnumbering most encounters I get into is pretty great
whaddya mean I can't have a permanent little mudcrab buddy?
whaddya mean I can't play a vampire with a pack of three death hounds?
whaddya mean I can't have the reanimated rotting corpse of a horker awkwardly bumble its way through a crowded town square after me as horrified citizens and children look on?
You should replace your flame thralls with dead mage thralls who also summon atronachs
and then conduct all of your battles from horseback
Ulfric's apology tour of the 'rim is something I need to do
he has been called a bad dog and sent back to fort dawnguard
oh yeah thats a good one
till I got high
now where's the mod for that
I'm still disappointed I can't have chicken thralls
the possibility of chicken thralls is the very thing that sold me on this game
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8298
That one lets you do that.
Apparently breaks the game if you try to use it on a dragon though.
thanks!
