What about a framerate limiter set to 60 FPS instead of vsync? Would that fix the mouse movement or is it because of the 60 FPS?

Thanks, I used the fps limiter built in to EVGA precision X and it fixed my issue. I'm all good now, thanks to you :)
 
Have any of you tried Automatic Variants lately? I'm thinking of finally trying it as I can't imagine it causing any permanent problems if something goes badly.

And DG has been released on PC: http://www.bethblog.com/2012/08/02/quakecon-2012-dawnguard-now-available-on-pc/

Yipee!

Any mods that require DG will include a "*Note: Requires Dawnguard." under them. There likely will not be all that many.

I must admit, the crossbows from DG do not disappoint me. I can't wait to see what modders do with them. And DG seems to be working fine with my current load order which is a nice bonus.

On that note: I highly recommend Automatic Variants if you are looking for more variety in enemies/wildlife at just about no risk to stability.

And one mod added to the list:
Blood Witch Armor
Yet another cool looking armor made only for females. :(

OMG. Conan. I'm finally finishing the storyline now, so I will make a new character once I'm done, and he will be CONAN!
 
I screwed something up bad trying to get the conan mod to work. Going to start over. User error.
 
Had to redo my mods again after the last mishap lol.

I tried the mod that adds more greenery to Whiterun and other towns, i didnt like it too much.

Its too different for me.

And wooooooooooow @ the character creation overhaul...it makes me want to start over..........again lol
 
Yeah I don't know. The SKSE install read me says there should be a data/scripts/source file but mine does not seem to exist. Probably why skse is not working now.

I am looking in steamapps/common/skyrim/data/scripts

[ Installation ]

1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Skyrim directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\. If you see files named TESV and SkyrimLauncher, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for programmers, most users can ignore it.

2. Copy the .pex files in Data\Scripts\ into the Data\Scripts\ folder of your installation. The .pex files are needed by all users of SKSE.

3. Copy the .psc files in Data\Scripts\Source\ into the Data\Scripts\Source\ folder of your installation. The .psc files are only needed if you have the CreationKit installed and intend to create or compile Papyrus scripts.
 
data/scripts/source are for the psc files discussed in #3. These are not needed unless you plan to modify the script yourself. As such, not having them should not cause any problems.
 
Yeah got that. I just re-pasted the skse into the data file and it is working fine now. Maybe some corruption. Man I am stupid sometimes. Especially when I take a day off to relax and get the party started a wee bit early lol.
 
Game is running sweetly now. Even with high levels of detail and AA my 670 isn't even hitting 60C and the fps seems pretty locked on 60fps. The 1.7 patch improve performance or what?
 
Do you think I can run the ENB Unreal Vibrancy with a 670? going to work on that one tomorrow.

http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=499&sid=2db0e7b518e64ff59906681a66be00a7

I run a modified Unreal's preset and it plays pretty smoothly. Depends on the location.

Added to the list:
HQ Beards - vanilla texture replacers
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21620

This one looks pretty good for those Vampire Lords:
Vampire Lords can Loot and Activate
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21631

For smaller mods that are for DLC, I think what I'm going to do is make a category for each DLC. For example: there will be a spoiler button for Dawnguard, the same way there is one for Visuals, Quests, etc. Larger mods that require DLC will be placed in the regular categories. This way if someone disliked a certain aspect of DG, they can look in the DG section of the list and quickly find a suitable mod without having to go through the whole Skyrim list.

What do you guys think would be the best ENB for a complete graphics overhaul

I'm currently using Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics Vison ENB. Anything better for a pure graphics overhaul?

Going by his latest beta version, he has all ENB settings turned on so that's about as complete as it is going to get in relation to v.113 ENB.

Will be added to the list soon:
Equipment Of Eternal Shine - Elven Overhaul
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21705

Dark Nemesis Armor - Ebony Reincarnation
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6408

This seems pretty cool:
Dwemer Exploding Traps Bombs and Arrows
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21254

And two mods that I've been enjoying a lot:
Dwemer Spectres
More unique enemies with some bosses and unique gear (pun intended).
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17011

Birds of Skyrim
Now I love birds!

Anything to fix the key binding for picking up books? I change my strafe keys to Q and E, but the game won't let me pick up books unless I change the Use/Interact key back to E.

I remember this was fixed in a patch after skyrim release.

Did it come back with Dawnguard?....Or do you still have a hacked copy of skyrim?

P.S. I also use my Strafe keys as Q and E, and do not have this issue.
 
I realized I had conflicting mods in Armoured horses and convenient horses. So i deleted armor horses and updated convenient horses. The mod works great now with no more conflicts but my performance is terrible... I use to get close to 100fps no im only getting 30-40. What could have caused this?

ps I also used clean saves when upgrading and deleting.

Thanks.

Look in your Papyrus log and see if you are getting a lot of script spam that belongs to Convenient Horses.

No I'm not using a pirated version. I can read the books but can't collect them. It says to use the E key but it doesn't work, nor does any other key.

The interface tends to not update to show the actual key when you rebind due to Bethesda using images. I'm assuming you've already tried the new key and that hasn't worked, which is somewhat odd. You haven't made the new key a mouse button, have you?

If you don't mind, you should be able to just click on the pickup prompt while reading a book and that will do the same thing as hitting the activation key.

Lastly, there is this mod you can try:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/88

I'm not sure if that will fix anything for you. There may be other mods out there too.

Edit:
Just reposting these so I don't forget to add them to the list:
Equipment Of Eternal Shine - Elven Overhaul
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21705

Dark Nemesis Armor - Ebony Reincarnation
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6408

And some new ones that will also be added:
DCR - Heavy Weapons Set
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21785

DCR - Shadow Buckler
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4330

DCR - Blade Set
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5284

I had D as the Use/Interact key. All pressing that did was turn the page. I just changed it to X and now books can be collected. Clicking doesn't work either, as there is no cursor to move and the mouse buttons just turn the pages back and forth.
 
The most popular mod that does absolutely nothing:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21392/
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=86505256

:D

List is all up-to-date and has the new Dawnguard category. I will need to trim down all three posts due to the post size limit, so if any of you know of any listed mods that you don't think deserve a spot in the list then please let me know.

Edit:
Added:
Explosive Bolts Visualized
Adds a unique visual appearance to elemental and dwemer bolts.
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21922

DG introduces the first real example of verlet surfaces in Skyrim. Problem is, Bethesda hardcoded it to only be applied in a single instance but some progress is being made by some skilled modders.

I get a CTD as soon as Skyrim loads to the menu (the dragon symbol appears for a second before the menu text would come up) ever since 1.7. It's probably a mod but I don't feel like going through and disabling all of them since Bethsoft can't seem to be bothered to put a decent event logger in Skyrim. It's probably for the better anyway since DG isn't worth $20 IMO and a few mods are starting to require it.

Is SKSE and ScriptDragon up-to-date? Missing any esm files that an esp is dependent upon?
 
That dark nemesis armor is amazing... I have it installed and it really is impressive.

edit: I see it is already gone from nexus. is it safe?
 
Nexus is randomly setting files to hidden lately. I refresh usually fixes the issue.

SKSE is up to date and I don't use ScriptDragon. Maybe I'm missing an esm file but I have so many mods that it'd be easier to reinstall. Maybe I will just reinstall it since messing with mods is more entertaining than the actual game after 400+ hours.
 
Nexus is giving me a DL error. File does not error whenever I try to DL a mod. been doing it a lot and now constantly. Server issue?
