Skyrim Remastered essential mods

Was looking through my mods on Skyrim and got to thinking about mods that are going to kinda kill it for me if they do not make the transfer over to the Remastered Edition in October. I play with a LOT of mods, but I narrowed it down to these essentials that I simply need to have in the Remastered edition, or something that preforms the same functions.

Absolute Musts:

• SkyUI
• Categorized Favorites Menu
• Pick Up Books
• Dynamic Timescale
• Winter is Coming and Cloaks of Skyrim
• Convenient Horses
• Follower Trap Safety
• General Stores (and assorted individual plugins for it)
• Forgotten Magic
• Utopolysts Item Sorting
• Run For Your Lives and When Vampires Attack
• Immersive Armor and Weapons
• Shezeries Hearthfire Kitchens
• Bandolier (or any other form of backpack etc. with a carry weight bonus)
  

Would really like to have, but can live without:

• A Matter of Time
• Quality World Map
• Point the Way
  
• Trotting Horse (specifically the Slof version, that replaces the canter, I don’t like the more popular one that replaces the walk)
• Footprints
• Player Headtracking
• VioLens
• Automatic Variants
• Climates of Tamriel  plus Enhanced Lights and FX (though, I could see many of their features included in a remastered version)
• Wet and Cold
• Birds of Skyrim
• Frostfall
• Realistic Needs and Diseases
• Auto Unequp Ammo
  
• Book Covers of Skyrim
• Locational Damage
• Left Hand Rings
• Give a Dog a Home  
  

And if i want to be able to play my character Aleddor, i will need Better Vampires and the Snow Elf playable race. His adventures are done, but it WAS a very fun playthrough, which i wouldn’t mind having another go at after i am done with my Illusion Mage, which i was partway through the game with and plan on restarting once the remaster hits.

There are also some texture mods that I use, but I am GUESSING the remaster will make those obsolete, similar to how Climates of Tamriel and Enhanced Lights and FX may be obsolete. I may also want to be using my usual ENB, but I am assuming that will be less of an issue than mods.

Too cute! in Fallout 4, if you are in Diamond City (maybe other places too, i dunno)  on the 25th of December in-game, this happens. :) Video here: https://youtu.be/82_dpjG4et8

It’s begun

I just downloaded 5 mods for Fallout 4.

Lowered Weapons  - because I don’t want my huge ass Sniper Laser rifle filling up a quarter of the screen all the time

Darker Nights - Because Bethesda ALWAYS makes their nights (and dungeons) too bright. They include things like flashlights, night vision, light spells etc. but nothing is ever dark enough to NEED them. I want to need them. Just gotta wait for the darker dungeons mod that will follow in time.

Full Dialogue Interface - Because I want a better idea of what my character will say.

Value Per Weight indicator - So i know what to sell vs scrap or drop

And the big one, that prompted me to get me to the Nexus and download mods:

Craftable Ammo - Because I have a laser sniper rifle that I LOVE, but getting ammo is a bitch, and i just found a Gamma Gun that will be even MORE of a bitch to get ammo for, but plays right into my perk choices (I have 9 Intelligence, I have that power armor/rad weapons dealing double damage perk) and I am RPing as an inventor.

Just so you know where this is headed, I am a mod addict. My Skyrim has hundreds of active mods, as well as an ENB. I can not imagine playing without Frostfall or Realistic Needs and Diseases and so on, and I eagerly await similar mods to those for Fallout 4. I am holding off on the ENB for now, though. I want to see more of how Bethesda envisioned the game, and I actually quite like the look of Vanilla anyway, some outrageous bloom aside. But I am keeping my eye on this one: http://ift.tt/1MwXWVO?

(via Fallout 4 | Powered by GeForce GTX - YouTube)

There is an achievement for getting nuked? really?  I like to think the shot i fired killed him, though.

I am using the Steam controller there, too. i’m liking it a fair bit. not as accurate as the mouse, but it’s still way better than a traditional controller.

This is my Fallout 4 character. She is named Katherine, and is going to be an inventor. She has Intelligence as her primary stat, and the plan is to trick out power armor and weapons to a crazy degree in the crafting system. Her husband is modeled after one of the characters from Kent cus one of the default faces was just a few tweaks away, and I couldn’t resist. The game is good so far, though have not progressed too far yet. Encountered a couple bugs as is to be expected with a new Bethesda game, but nothing too severe. Movement got locked upon exiting the vault, but a reload fixed it, and I wasn’t getting any achievements, but some others with the same problem said they began working after a few hours, so hopefully will get them soon, but will have to replay the beginning later.

Really, Moira? You’re out here for two seconds and already complaining? After i gave you my only Railway Rifle? Serves you right for sending me to Minefield to get shot at by a crazy sniper while surrounded by mines. Or the time with the robots. or that time with the mirelurks. I threw a grenade at MYSELF for you, Moira.

Fallout 4 is happening! The Fallout 4 trailer reveals this highly anticipated next entry in the Fallout series. What can we learn from this detail-rich three…

So I got this from the official website for a new desktop background, but looking closer at it there are a lot of interesting details that it seems to be hinting at as either returning or coming to the game.

First off, there is a Vault Boy bobblehead, so we will be searching for those little bastards again, most likely. And off to the right next to a rack for the good ol magazines/comics for assorted buffs, there is a Vault Tec display with a LOT of Vault Tec themed collectibles, though can’t really make out much in the way of specifics. 

Also, of course, we will again be having a companion dog, obviously.

But the interesting bit is on the back wall. In the middle is your standard laser rifle, but around it are assorted barrels, stocks, and ammo holders, which seems to imply that New Vegas’ weapon upgrades are coming back, but I dunno, this seems a bit more extensive. The Power Armor in the middle also seems to be being worked on so could we also be getting armor modifications?

I just realized today I have a TON of screenshots from Skyrim over the past little while, and some are pretty cool. Or maybe just pretty. I ran out of space here so you can see more of the ones featuring my character Aleddor, who is quite fun to play so far, at his Elder Stats page.

I ended up being ported all over Skyrim by quests, first I got shunted up near Windhelm by a Companions quest, then while i was there i got punted down to Markarth by Sanguine’s quest, spent some time there then ended up in a jailbreak and made a run back to Whiterun, there i decided to sit down and finish Sanguine’s quest and join the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and (temporarily) the Dawnguard, and FINALLY at, like, level 20, see the Greybeards… so I went to the throat of the World and to Riften to murder an old lady, and then back up to Windhelm when the Dark Brotherhood caught up with me (ironically, just after solving a murder case for the town.) and I woke up near Solitude… I still haven’t finished Sanguine’s quest. But I did do Meridia and Sheogorath’s! I should note that I try to avoid fast travel, so getting shunted all over the damn place is extra annoying. It’s been a rather hectic playthrough, but has provided some nice screenshot opportunities.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim: Dawnguard - Official Trailer (by BethesdaSoftworks)

Hell yes! This pretty much confirms for me that I will save my thief/assassin Skyrim playthrough until i have Dawnguard, though; seems well suited to a darker type of character. But that’s ok ‘cus I am having fun with my Mazken thief character in Oblivion, and I haven’t even made it out of the Shivering Isles yet, so i have lots of time left with him.
