what mod is this? Can't tell from filename : V

» Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:37 am

I ordered Skyrim for the PC from amazon, and while waiting for delivery I decided to download a bunch of mods from the nexus. Ofcourse I went a bit overboard and have about 50 of them sitting in a folder on my desktop :laugh:

Most of them have descriptive names, but I can't tell what this one is or does:
rww3.0.esp

Anyone have any idea what that mod is/does?

I feel a bit silly for asking, but I really don't remember. Thanks in advance!

Realistic Weapon Weights?

Although it's only v2.2 on the Nexus, so it may very well be something else.

kind of a russian roulette installing it too if it does not have any included documentation, you have not read the mod description from wherever you got it, so what happens after you install it, did it have any special installation notes / will it conflict with anything else .. who knows.

I dont recognise it either, but I am not the most eager mod grabber with Skyrim, it only takes one script / mesh / old mod written before the Creation Kit was released to make your game a pile of frustrating rubbish.

Reading everything about each mod you install (and installing them one at a time, testing, before moving on) could give you vital clues as to what goes wrong along the way

I would experience the vanilla game first before modding too .. Otherwise how will you know any difference ?

I won't install the mod if I don't know what it is, I was simply hoping someone here would know.
I read about every mod I've downloaded, including the comments section to make sure there weren't a lot of complaints about it. I've played a heavily modded Morrowind and Oblivion for years, so I'm well aware of the pitfalls and I'm also well aware of what I want in my game. I would have installed them right away normally, but I don't have my PC copy of Skyrim yet. I was simply trying to do the grunt work beforehand so I could play as quick as possible once it arrives.

You're advice is very good for someone new to mods and ofcourse the game is best experienced at least once without mods. I've played Skyrim for about 200 hours on the xbox 360, so I'm very familiar with the vanilla game, hence the mod grabbing

Unless someone can indentify it I won't even bother installing, I doubt it will be crucial, and I can't really say I trust a modder who can't be bothered adding a readme or a desrciptive name anyway. Thanks for trying to help!
