Hello everyone.

I just joined you guys, and I'm wondering if you could help me out to mod my skyrim. I am not new at this, but I haven't yet done a complete overhaul as I'm planning to do now. As soon as I get a good list, I will do a clean installation of skyrim and put the squeeze on my machine!

Speaking of which:

Phenom 9950 Black Edition

Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 (clocked +10%)

Kingston DDR2 800MHz

So I'm going for 2K textures (Which is only 2X texture resolution of skyrim HD dlc) and 4K stuff such as bodies (faces), clothing, armour and weapons. My vanilla skyrim runs nicely but I have problems with stuttering with or without mods. And its not a performance issue because I got good fps. Do you know of any reliable fixes for that?

I was also hoping that there is somebody here amongst the exalted readers that has done a complete "lite" overhaul of skyrim and he could post a list of what you have or at least give some advice to avoid making a mess of it all.

Thank you in advance,

BBB.

Install Unofficial Patches and SkyUI first. Then you can start thinking about other mods, overhauls, etc.

Just a reminder.
