Also: Best mod ever? http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5626 - Thuumic. Let's you shout using your mic rather then using keys, it really immerses you into the game.
Btw for the best experience with above mod: player.setav shoutrecoverymult 0 and shout to your hearts content. (It's semi-overpowering if you let it be with spells like Fire/Frost 3, but not with the mods I installed since it barely scratches their life.)
That sounds absolutely awesome. Whatever will my wife think though?
Also, for those running the various HD* texture mods or RWT etc - does it really make that much of a difference visually when you're playing the game? I agree the look nice when you see the screenshots side-by-side, but is it noticeable when playing? Also, do you need a top-end graphics card to make use of them? Just wondering in my aging Nvidia GTX 280 would manage ok.
I'm always a little wary of mods, particularly as I'm still on my first play through. I almost feel like I want to play it the way it was intended.
Click on Skyrim in your steam library there is then a big fat button for "Workshop"How do you get to the skyrim workshop in Steam? Haven't seen any noticeable links yet.

If you've got Steam installed Toht it's not easier to use something else as everything is integrated into the client and should (in theory) sort itself out if you start playing on something else. As good as it is, Mod Manager won't follow you across computers.
Having tried both Toht I completely disagree.ACross computers maybe, but with anything else, the mod manager is even simpler then the steam interface.
Also the mod manager, i'm betting, will handle stuff and sort stuff better.
http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/skyrimwhat is this steam thing you speak of? My Slyrim had a rather large update last night, but I didn't see anything new. In fact, it crashed several times through the final Mages Guild quest :-/
what do I do to try that stuff out? I'm rather intrigued by the whole spear fighting thing...
Because it is official it is classed as DLC. Goto Steam - Library - Skyrim - Click "DLC" on the right, then Install.I don't know. Couldn't find it when I had a real quick look just now. I did snag better light / better night and more trees. Seems to work, the caves are hella dark now, forcing me to use magelight and stuff -for the first time-.
