Modding Skyrim

[WafflesMcGee]

I have several hundred hours on two characters on 360. I got the Legendary Edition for PC for Christmas last year, and I haven't done any modding yet, but I plan to do quite a bit. Do you guys have any favorite mods to recommend?

EDIT: By modding I only mean using mods, not creating mods myself.

Welcome to the forum

I'm in your position too, hundreds of 360 hours and just getting into PC. I just went through the Skyrim Workshop on Steam and picked my favorites from there. Sounds of Skyrim is one of the best, it adds a lot of life to the game. I also added various weapon/armor sets, and SkyUI which overhauls the lists in the game to be more PC friendly.

That's about as far as I got, my PC can't handle much more than that unfortunately!

Yeah, I have a laptop so no insane graphics modding for me. I think I'll start with simple mods like a save manager and some realism mods like Climates of Tamriel, and then progress to additions like Falskaar and maybe some of the player homes. I'm not sure yet if I want to mess with the character and leveling mechanics or not.

Yeah I haven't messed with any of the mechanics yet. Oh, look up follower mods! They make the game more immersive. I think one was "Followers rest" or something, it makes it so they'll sit down, lean of railing, and just hang out if you're taking your time doing stuff.

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to check those out.

took me a whole week to figure out the better mods, campatability, loading order etc... also syncing up saved games between playing my laptop and PC
