Tdudrivetime

I came along this video about the voice actors. It is funny to see how some characters are actually modeled after the voice actors themselves. With some racial tweaks off course

Just hit the 4000 hour gameplay mark. Skyrim is the only game, except TDU1 and 2 where i have spent that many hours.

Wow that's a lot of game time Mad but Skyrim is an epic game.
Congrats

There is a new Grass Mod that truly changes the appearance of Skyrim, without the weird choices of previous grass mods. It really looks great. Just installed and tried it.

Wow this mod totally changes the outdoor look of Skyrim, definitely one to install.

With a reasonable stable game, 255 mods (max) and some more texture mods, i'm now in a playthrough on Legendary level with Deadly Dragons, better opponents, who use spells and potions to heal and attack, block better, avoid getting in the line of fire and evade power attacks. So this one is tough. But fun.

I now use a perk overhaul that is a lot more fun than previous overhauls, that changed too much and added not much.

Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim

That perk mod looks nice I will definitely check it out.
I'm currently in the process of building a new set of mods for a new play through, I finally got around to buying all of the DLC for Skyrim so looking forward to it.
The only problem I have is every time I start a new game I fall into the trap of messing with the mods more than playing the game so this time I am going to try and avoid this by adding and testing mods until I get a list I am happy with before I start a full game and once I start I wont be adding any more.

I'm not planning on adding loads of mods, probably less than 50 but still enough to enhance the game the way I want it and hopefully avoid the temptation of adding things as I go along

You can always try Alernate start-Live another life. You can pick a different starting point and avoid the long intro. In addition that intro sometimes hangs, depending on mods.

Helgen rebuild is highly recommended and i can do a whole list of mods. Depending on how hard you want to make it for yourself
But the cool thing is that there are so many options now, that you can completely customize your game.

I give my top 10 mods

There are a lot of other "immersive" mods i use, like Armors, Jewelry and of course all the texture mods.
But the Mods mentioned here will most definitely improve and extend gameplay

PS I also use the latest version of RealVision ENB and 3d snow. So much better than all the weather mods that keep you constantly in storms.
I removed Climates of Tamriel and enjoy the game a lot more now

Thanks for the links Mad, will check them out.

I'm not necessarily looking to make the game harder just want it to look and feel better and also add some better gameplay features.

Only thing from that list making your game a little bit harder is Deadly Dragons. But there are settings you can choose from. It just adds a lot of fun to dragon combat.

One other thing is the physics extensions.

Hair, Capes, Moves, Butts and Boobs are just a few improvements that have been made with HDT.
You can make some females walk like supermodels in the game.

And there is a save game cleaner that actually removes orphan scripts. This makes it possible to add and remove some scripted mods. Still advisable to start a new game with new mods. But most texture mods have no scripts.
