filkertom | Skyrim Mods Already! (Reply)

The Creation Kit (the newest version of the venerable Elder Scrolls Construction Set) hasn't even been released yet, and there are already well over a hundred mods to try for the PC version of the game at Skyrim Nexus. May I recommend a few?

FXAA Post Process Injector will improve your graphics quality amazingly. I installed the version with "Lower Saturation", and a touch of the Pause key shows you the difference between the original (lighter and blurrier) and the new (darker and sharper). There are also a number of profiles people have posted to get their preferred visual quality, lower the hit to frame rate, etc. -- you just have to replace one file with their file.
Display time on loading screen puts a little clock on the load screen so you have some idea of what you should have been doing in the real world before you started playing Skyrim.
There are already a number of retextures, including (of course) a few nudes. I won't even begin to suggest which ones you might like or not. But Enhanced Blood Textures and Enhanced Night Skyrim are very cool.
