Regarding Skyrim
I don't always agree... Actually, I do when others say it humorously, but we're all using it seriously. It gives a deeper sense of involvement, not just for fun or mocking purposes.
I kept watching his videos past episode three, even when playing at a slower speed. I understand he was trying to do it, but honestly, I'm always on the go. After that, I cleaned up my old Xbox 360 and started playing Skyrim—completely fine except for the main game.
You've gathered nearly all the HD mods available through Nexus, Pure Waters, HD-2K textures, vivid weather, and enhanced blood effects—everything except any incompatible items or duplicates.
Modding Skyrim can be a challenging task, but Gopher offers clear and helpful guides. Perhaps it’s because I watch most YouTube videos at double speed. Still, his videos cover important points in detail. I’m confident these tips aren’t just random advice—my own Skyrim reinstall was messy, so I had to do it multiple times. As they say, check twice, cut once. Paying attention to the details really makes a difference. Patience is key for a smooth, stable install.
You start the project using the script extender. There’s a lot of flexibility to customize with a 390 setup. The key to successful modding is investing time and patience; rushing can lead to crashes or corrupted save files after about 30 hours. It’s important to do it right from the beginning to avoid future issues. I strongly suggest following Gopher’s guides. Taking the time now prevents longer troubles later when things go wrong. Using a mod manager simplifies installations and makes debugging easier. You can choose between Nexus Mod Manager for quick installs or Mod Organiser for more advanced features like better profiling, save/install management, and cleaner processes. Gopher provides tutorials for both options.
The Load Order/LOOT videos are likely the most useful in this context. Along with the Mod organizer videos. Employing a mod manager is crucial for maintaining stability, since manual installs can cause conflicting updates. The benefit of Mod Organizer lies in placing each mod in its own folder and letting you arrange them via its interface. When several mods replace identical files, you can easily choose the one with higher priority. LOOT adds by handling much of the priority conflict resolution, optimizing the load sequence to the most stable point it identifies. Sometimes you still need to adjust your order for less common mods. However LOOT only influences ESPs; ESMs, BSAs, etc., in the load order aren't affected by the actual mod files—this is what you must decide about. Thanks for your patience; the videos should clarify things better.
For your textures, consider using Skyrim Mod Combiner. When choosing a resolution, think about which objects the mod interacts with. 4k textures won’t add much value on small details like grass and clutter, but they’ll shine compared to lower resolutions on big items such as boulders, buildings, and monsters. Refer to the S.T.E.P. guide for a solid starting point—it mainly focuses on bug fixes, performance boosts, and experience enhancements like UI mods such as SkyUI. Your 390 should comfortably support a well-modded Skyrim. Just avoid pushing too hard; you can tweak settings if needed, but even high-end systems like SLI 980ti might struggle to maintain 60fps. The biggest factor will be your ENB. I suggest Vividian and its Weathers pack, though you may need to adjust some settings for optimal performance.
