Greetings! I recently picked up the DLC for Skyrim so I am going to start playing it again. I have only played the vanilla version as my old rig was not very capable. However my new computer has a bit more power. So my question is which mods should I get and where should I get them from? I would prefer catchall mods but anything that makes the game better is good.
Also I would like to keep the performance as close to 60fps (@1080p) as possible.
PC Specs: 3570k (light overclock @4.2), 8gb ram 1600mhz, GTX 780 (overclocked version @1097mhz).
Be aware that you can certainly create a free account with Nexus Mods, you just don't click on any of their checkboxes for paid accounts. This is a bit of mental trickery on their part and is very clever.
If you aren't familiar with modding, I highly suggest you take some time to READ. Don't just throw tons of mods together and think it's all gonna work without issues. I also suggest that you go to the thread above and check out the videos that I have linked there. I found them to be extremely helpful.
Good luck!
[Edit]
Beware of Logan's mod list. If you are aiming for 60 fps @1080p, you may not get that with the mods he uses. I recommend that you follow that beginner's guide, and then create your own list. Have fun with it. I think I have spent more time modding my game than I have actually playing it lol.
I am disappoint. Picked up Skyrim finally for $7.50 last night and immediately spent 2 hours deciding which mods to add. Most of the good ones are on Nexus, but I had problems registering last night, and now "The administrator is currently not accepting new membership registrations"
