Skyrim

[grumbler]

So far, it seems to have had an effect on many mods.  Most mod makers have moved on to Fallout 4, but the engines are now pretty similar.

I don't see any significant new mods or upgrades to mods.  Mostly seems to be tweaks to make them playable in 64 bit or on consoles.

I really shouldn't have finally started skyrim a few months back

There's a new mod that look fantastic:

It has been too long since we have a Bethesda medieval sandbox RPG.  Fallout 4 doesn't cut it for me.

I started playing this again.  Great game.

SKSE 64 is out, in alpha... it's coming!

SKSE 64 is out, in alpha... it's coming!

At last.  I went through the ordeal of reinstalling, modding and balancing the original game but I find it's so unstable.  I don't recall it being this unstable the last time I played 2 years ago.  I can't go on for very long without hitting the 3.1G Ram wall and then I CTD.  I've got less than 200 mods installed compared to close to 300  back then.  Perhaps I was a little too enthusiastic with the textures and chose 2k over 1k too many time?  As soon as I hear Gopher sanction it I'll reinstall SE and hopefully I'll be able to roam Skyrim without having to look down at the road for fear of triggering a CTD with too many LODs trying to load at once.

SKSE and ENB should get rid of the 3.1gb limit...
I had 200 mods with 2k textures no problem, but I had 32gb ram last time.

EDIT:
hop là!

Forget about "safety load" though.
Take the extenders here:

and the patches section.  Especially the optimized textures.

The new Windows 10 update got rid of the VRAM limit on DirectX 9 programs. My heavily graphically modded original Skyrim now has solid fps pretty much everywhere.

You guys should be ashamed. You know the human cost of making Skyrim, right?

OSHA and CPSC should ban the sales of Skyrim in the US.  Players could potentially play this for far too many hours a day, for too many days in a row.  Consumers need to be protected from this.

Maybe that would force them to make ES 6.

Nothing is needed to force them to make ES 6.  They'll do that anyway.

[Grey Fox]

Sooner?

[grumbler]

Sooner?

the failure of ES Online would accelerate the development of ES 6, perhaps, but nothing to do with Skyrim would.

Speaking of new ES stuff, have you played the Beyond Skyrim: Bruma mod yet? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/84946/?

Very impressive.
