#Skyrim as textposts

[nvoc]

How do you take such gorgeous Skyrim screenshots? Also updated mod list for lighting and texture and such? Or a very basic one at least? Not sure if it’s still in your bio

Hallooo and thank youuu :3

lighting & basic photography skills ofc apply to gaming photography, so fiddle around with the weather & lighting/time with a mod like KreatE or Photo Mode. you can also use the freefly cam SKSE plugin instead of Photo Mode if you wish (you can use both at once, check the Photo mode description about the compatibility tho).

(btw if you use the freeze time for everywhere (or somethin like that) setting in KreatE, you will get an infinite loading screen if you try to travel somewhere else, so make sure you disable that before doing so!)

My bio/about page has the info you need but i'm due to make an update post anyways since im bored as shit :^D

My modwatch list has the mods i currently have in-game & i pretty much try to get it up to date. The Modlist tab on that site is meant to be read from bottom to top, idk why the site does that - probably to show what overrides what. BTW tick the Inactive Mods box under the modlist tab, then CTRL+F for "separator" & you'll find some organized stuff thru that. just be sure to read above the separator.

^ i'll probably make a google doc/spreadsheet later to make it easier to read since some of the mods are all over the place in my list cause of wanting to override certain things. plus that modwatch list is so overwhelming especially since i have like 1400+ active mods wtf 💀

this ask/reply i made about my modlist is somewhat outdated, but i still use some of the retextures and most of the mods listed there.

this ask too (base textures are very outdated, everything else i may or may not still have).

anywayzz under the cut has a general list of updated/new retextures & replacers i currently* use in my skyrim se game, or missed in my first modlist long-post. i'll probably go more in-depth with the mods in the spreadsheet when i get around to making it.

*as of 6 september 2023. again, see my modwatch list for the up-to-date list yepyep

no links to everything because i will probably hit the character limit & the new post editor messes things up whenever i try to edit.

[ texture 1 <- texture 2 ]

^^^this indicates texture 2 is overriding the base, texture 1 etc. got it?👍

also im using Mod Organizer 2. idk how vortex works or if it allows to do these kind of things yahhh

ENB:

- Using NAT.ENB III & its own weather mod. - Sometimes i'll switch to using Cabbage ENB if i want something cooler-toned (discord exclusive tho..lol....)

Lighting mods are still the same; EVLaS & Lux, etc, plus Twilight Sky overhaul/textures are still the same i think

Architecture:

Noble Skyrim <- Skyland AIO <- whatever town/building-specific retextures e.g WiZkiD Riften and Ratway, Spice of Life, Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins, etc <- misc exterior retextures &lt;- interior retextures <- mesh replacers e.g Nordic Stonewalls, SD's Farmhouse Fences

Landscape:

Skyland AIO <- Grass mods <- MystiriousDawn's terrains + Atlantean Landscapes + Vivid Landscapes Parallax Occlusion Snow. many things to mix & match and play with here so do what u wish as there are many on the nexus.

Water is still Water for ENB (Shades of Skyrim option)

Mountainzzzz & rawkz:

Skyland AIO <- Enhanced Rocks and Mountains (for the fixes) <- Rapid Rocks, Skyrim 3D Rocks, slightly Better Rock Cairns you can also use Majestic Mountains if you prefer the textures but idk, i had issues so i switched to using ERM and Skyland's mountain textures

if you just want to use one singular retexture mod, Skyland AIO or Skyrim 202X are your best bets since they cover almost everything, it also depends on what style you want. yah!

Treeeeees:

Nature of the Wild Lands <- Traverse the Ulvenwald you can use one of either the two tree mods but i use both to make my computer suffer because i couldn't decide on the two. plus makes very dense forests with the additional trees the two mods adds but there will be bugs in-game such as floating trees (rarely), two trees in one spot. the latter can be fixed with bashed patches, if you're familiar with those. also using Cathedral Assets Optimizer to downscale the tree models & textures to 1k/2k can alleviate frame drops & ur computer crying (unless youre in like falkreath)if u dont want either of those, there's performance friendly trees such as fabled forests, happy little trees, aspens ablaze, or blubbo's trees etc

Grass:

QW's Grass Patch 2 + Origins of Forest - 3D Grass Reduced (loaded after the grass patch in the plugins section) <- ENB Complex Grass patches

Plants & flowers:

Plant-specific retextures e.g Mari's flora, Cathedral <- Blubbo's Shrub Replacer <- Less Ugly Tundra Grass <- TB's 3D Nettles, TB's Better Ferns (i didnt realize these models were everywhere until i used this LMAO), etc.

there are also the dumb niche things i download that override these textures like chains (or bloody rags. fucking. bloody. rags. or fuckin garlic.).

again, go thru my modwatch list if you want to snoop around. ctrl+f the term "-Misc Retextures & Replacers_separator"

or u can check the old modlist post for the links to some :d

enjoy & happy modding🫡

A good "OI!" should be a short sharp "crack" followed by silence, like a whip or the poachers rifle. Interestingly it seems to be (in my opinion atleast) that women are much more able to consistently give a proper "oi" then men, who seem to draw it out to much and leave it too deep. Saying that, I know several men, myself included (sort of), who can produce a brilliant "oi" if required. What causes this difference and why still alludes me...

I’m So Normal about Skyrim. I played it for an hour last night and exploded. I’ve wanted it for yeass to and FINALLYYYYY

[archersgaymerblog]

Mentioned I’m replaying Skyrim right. According to UESP, there’s only 22 non-hostile, unique, alive Bosmer in vanilla Skyrim SE (so still including DG and DB, but not including any CC add-ons, as UESP included a few). I have two conclusions from this.

One, not enough Bosmer, include more of those fun little guys, and I DON’T mean as bandits. Please and thank u

Two, I’m gonna draw Val’s relationship with all of these NPCs HDVDJSB

I like to think that Miraak never received a dragon priest mask cause he was too young or something, so he just got a dope crown

And because Vahlok felt bad, he never wore his either, and maybe let Miraak wear his from time to time when they weren't doing anything important

I also like thinking that Miraak's mask he has in Apocrypha is actually Vahloks cause he may have kept it because it was special to him, and he changed it up to match Apocrypha a bit more after a while because it hurt too much to look at since Vahlok nearly killed him and all that

Yes I did have to make an entire post about this

About to restart my Skyrim world, let’s hope I don’t spend over an hour on the character customization screen again.
