Plus a bunch of troubleshooting I had to do.įirst off, when I reinstalled Skyrim (which automatically included the official High Resolution Texture Pack this time!), it remembered the mods I’d used before and automatically loaded them for me. Here I document my own modding, mostly based off that guide but updating it and adding a few other things. For my next Skyrim character, I was inspired by this guide, which lists a bunch of mods that add survival elements into Skyrim, making cold temperature a real threat and requiring players to prepare properly for extended journeys. Mods are user-made modifications, which can do anything from tiny cosmetic changes to updated graphics to new game systems to entirely new standalone games (like the recent Enderal). But this time, I planned to use a lot more mods. So I decided to just go for it, and start playing now. A harsher, whiter light seemed more appropriate for the wintry land of Skyrim. Plus, I wasn’t sure I liked the golden cast over all the new screenshots. On PC, the new art isn’t a huge improvement over the original, and there are already a slew of graphical tweaks and enhancements available from the mod community anyway. I’m not sure exactly why I made that decision now with the remastered Special Edition of the game releasing next month, it would seem to make sense to just wait for that, but it seemed like a bigger deal for the console versions of the game. I’d planned to start again with a new character, but decided to take a break first, and then never seemed to have the time to go back.Įventually I realized that if I didn’t play it again soon, I never would. And not only did I not tackle the game’s main storyline, I never even battled a single one of its supposedly infinite dragons. I explored many parts of the province of Skyrim, but never set foot in two of the cities. I joined the Thieves’ Guild, but not the Companions or the mage’s College of Winterhold or any of the other factions in the game. While I spent a lot of time playing it not long after release, and wrote several posts about it here on this blog, there are lots of things I never did in the game.
