Looking forward to Confidence Man's next update
This one is nice, always felt that the Dragonbone helmet looked kind of... ridiculous and didn't align well with the rest of the armor.
Dragonhood
I would edit particles down and maybe lower interior shadow distance. Maybe edit the resolution. By chance, did you copy the entire ini from the creator and just delete your old one?
That is pretty nice. I'm about 10 levels from mastering smiting so I will be able to get that one there soon.
Does skyboost still break scripting?
Yes I have. I just reverted to the default ini just because I was having trouble getting the savegame to load. I'll try and gradually add some of the options of the custom ini creator to not let it screw up everything.
Any point to still list 4GB patcher?
EDIT: I see you just took it off. Maybe you should have a section for ENB presets.
Wow that mod isolation feature is mod organizer sounds awesome, you can keep a completely vanilla game directory, and it virtualizes the data directory that the game engine sees, so when (and yes its WHEN) you finally hose your game with mods and have to reinstall, you dont, because the original install is untouched.
amazing, wonder how long till nexus mod manager takes it.
I dont have that directory.
My interface directory just have a spanish file in there. So i don't know where to put the new controler mappings.
Any ideas?

I tested the roads mod for starters:I am currently loving and running all the Bumpmapped normals from Yuril
Markath Improved
All others on in the body of the text on the page. So many by him and damn well done.
After i posted that i went ahead and tried withouth any mod managers and it works.Is the the 360 controller remap mod?
Descaled Uniques
Instead of having your Daedric artifact just as bad as that iron sword you encountered 30 hours earlier, this gives you the strongest version of the unique weapons in the game. Always. You shouldn't be punished for doing quests early level.
Here are some well made mods that aren't as well known as... well, other mods.
3rd Person Animation Tweak - Run Forward with Bow
A must for all the archers out there. Without it the sprint animation looks ridiculous with your right hand flailing around like it had no bones.
Alchemy and Enchanting table retex
Just what it says. The best retexture of the enchanting table out there, in my opinion.
Female Underwear Retex
Simple retex that changes the female underwear into a more "natural" color.
Finer Dust
Makes the dust particles in dungeons look smaller, nicer, better. I didn't realize how ugly the vanilla dust particles were before I took some comparison shots myself.
Subliminal Traps
Makes the traps in dungeons blend in better, making them harder to spot. Best used in conjunction with Deadly Traps and Sickly Diseases
Horse Fast Dismount
Tired of watching that slow animation where you get off your horse, all the while having 5 mudcrabs nibbling at your legs? This mod rectifies that by removing the animation altogether. It even looks cooler.

The mod is good. Biggest problemwith it, is that the author opted to use the "press and hold" the thumbstick to run, not a good decision. Because its too ackward and because it fucks up the controller faster.
So I'm thinking of trying out ENB. I'm at the website, do I download something from there and then download Confidence Man's preset?
Skyboost doesn't supposedly break scripting like TESAL does, does it? I'm still sorta in the first couple hours of the game / kinda-sorta-wanna do the main quest occasionally so does either of those break scripting anymore?
You can just paste his settings/files right into your root skyrim folder in Steam.
And Confident ENB - A realistic ENB Profile. ENB with Confidence, man!
And if I don't like it I just delete the files, it won't ruin any saves or anything like that?
Look good in towns and stuff but when you are in an open field the saturation is ridiculous IMO. Yellow and red.
What version do you use? Because 1.3 has it mapped to the thumbstick.You sure about that? Mine is still mapped to LB. For the record, I did it the same way you did. It's not installed through the NMM.

So what all do we know about the Creation Kit? Is this something that will simplify using mods? I have no experience with mods, so I'm a little intimidated by the process. At the same time, I'd love to get that boost in performance.
The alchemy/enchanting table retex link leads to Confident ENB.and a few others added and sorted into the OP.

Yes, I like to click links.
I think isoku included Realistic Rain Ripples in his Water package.
Made a high-res retex of the Nightingale Armor a while ago, it's not a "stretch the original texture to a bigger size and sharpen" job, my brother and I actually recreated the textures from scratch. If you wanna check it out and put it on the main page under the Armor section, here's the link:
Nightingale Hi-res Retex with Torn Scarf and Variants
Does anyone know if there's any animation replacers for magic users yet? Specifically, the goofy looking run when they have spells out on both hands. Looks dumb as fuck.
Yep, isoku added it in 1.4 or something, I think.Did he really? Let me read up on that. I have it installed and it mainly affects the look of rain. The ripples look nice either way
This, perhaps? It's sprinting only, so not sure if it is what you're looking for.Does anyone know if there's any animation replacers for magic users yet? Specifically, the goofy looking run when they have spells out on both hands. Looks dumb as fuck.
Okay, thus far I've been avoiding mods that alter the game's balance, but I'm about to install the merchant mods that make them all rich and make them all deal in all goods. Has this made the game necessarily easy for anyone?
I see. The rain mod is really good for more than just the ripples. I got the alt file with "fatter" rain and kept isoku's mod of course.Yep, isoku added it in 1.4 or something, I think.
Might be worth mentioning in the OP graphics drivers to increase performance.
Nvidia 290.53 beta drivers increase performance by 25% - http://blogs.nvidia.com/2011/12/give-skyrim-a-boost-with-new-geforce-r290-drivers/

Town Guards Retexture
They have a little more pop and look pretty good
High Quality Towns and Villages
Definite improvement
I will add the towns and villages. Both are pretty subtle and you have to look hard to notice but the second one is more apparent.Town Guards Retexture

From talking briefly with a dev, you won't know until closer to release. Expect big things out of it though
