Mods for Skyrim
Is there an easier 'quick and dirty' way to learn how to mod?

This x1000!!! Watched his videos and it was really straightforward to modify. For ENB, I'm using Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics ENB: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15105/? I added a lot of visual changes but it still didn't feel very realistic. Then I installed this ENB and BOOM!!! Just remember - If your system is powerful (i5 or FX-8320+) with at least 8GB RAM and a mid-high-end GPU, you should be fine. Some mods can really slow things down. I still maintain 60fps+ at 1080p ultra with many mods, but sometimes it drops to the 40s depending on location and load. You'll probably run into a RAM issue once usage exceeds about 3GB. It's normal and happens occasionally, especially with lots of mods. Just be patient and save often.
The top ENB I enjoy is the Kountervibe ENB. The ones from Kyokushinoyama seem to offer the most detailed visuals, often dropping to around 30 FPS. He spent some time editing the mod page, but they’ve recently reappeared online: http://www.deadendthrills.com/forum/disc...kyrim-enbs
Wow! That is one impressive ENB! God I wish I had a GPU to use it. And those screenshots look very professional

I'm running on an iGPU setup right now, but: CPU i5-4670k, cooler master 212 EVO @ 3.8GHz, MSI Z87-G55 PSU, Corsair CX600M RAM, Corsair Vengeance 2x4 @1600MHz, Cooler Master HAF 912. I've tried tweaking ENBs once and it actually hurt performance more. It's unclear which settings would help me. I'm not familiar with SweetFX—some mods I can't install, like certain ENBs (except Skatado's) and some female mods because I already own those. I have everything except the Khajiit mods right now. I also have Fores New Idles and a few animation mods I didn't add. I'm really into mods and would love more powerful options! :lol: Oh wait, Werewolf mastery and XCE - Xenius Character Enhancement aren't installed either. I couldn't get them to work on my fresh Skyrim install. I'm planning to fix that...
