I'll give you a very brief overview of them below, along with a couple of extra mods you can use with a couple of the options to improve the game as well.Īll three of the major overhauls listed here have been covered extensively by the mod reviewer Brodual on youtube, so also check that out (PerMa was covered the least extensively, but still gives a pretty good look at what it adds) PerMa and SkyRe are the most similar, but they are by the same author so thats to be expected. SkyRe, PerMa and Requiem, despite all being overhauls, all have very different goals and very different designs as far as what they try to accomplish. You should also start off with your essential patch mods, including the Unofficial Skyrim Patches : Small list of little big mods for Skyrim (patch and tweak mods)Īlso take some time and go and watch Gophers Beginners Guide to Modding Skyrim on youtube, which will give you some basic knowledge you need.Īll the mods listed below have a somewhat complicated installation proceedure so don't be worried if its a bit overwhelming. More on tools here : Guide : Modding Tools, Tips and Resources You also have to set up your essential tools first, I would suggest using MO as your mod manager if youre going to be using overhauls. You also CANNOT safely uninstall mods from the middle of a playthrough, so whatever you start your character with is what you are stuck with.
Its more complicated and requires a lot of testing and a LOT of reading as you MUST read the ENTIRE description of every mod you want to install and at least one full page of comments and the stickied comments to check for any vital bugs or updated info. Do yourself a favor and don't become one of those people who believes in the whole 'master race' thing as far as gaming hardware.įirstly, modding you have to understand is not just click and play.
