Most of those are used in the texture pack combiner. But yes, footprints and XCE are also musts.

 

[briansun1]

I would like to now which game mechanics mod you like to use(also what they do) please... I have cookies

 

[Darknecron]

Off topic, but for the lolz. xD READ DEM COMMENTS.

 

[Darknecron]

Most mod names are self-explanatory.

As for game mechanics:
Deadly Dragons
Locational Damage
Path of Shadows - Sneak overhaul
Better magic
Acquisitive Soul Gems - Soul gems, how they should have been
ABT - Arrows and Bolts Tweaks
Beast Skeletons
Harder lockpicking - Lockpicking overhaul
Harvest Overhaul
Pretty_Combat_Idles
Unread Books Glow
Weighted Items - More realistically weighted items...make sure you get the "weightless gold" one, or you'll have to crawl anywhere to buy a house.

Any mod that reduces carry-weight dramatically (so you can't carry 300 lbs at the beginning of the game) along with:
Bandolier - Bags and Pouches
Bandolier for NPCs
Sabre Gear Backpack
Leather Backpack
Fur Bag - Backpack

Also, this is the Weapons of the Third Era you want.



I could literally list off a hundred mods here.

Nice, TPC has come a long way since I used it. I think it just supported the 3-4 required mods back then.

Off topic, but for the lolz. xD READ DEM COMMENTS.

I love the comments...

 

[Darknecron]

Yeah, the TPC is great... surprised it doesn't have more endorsements though.


And as for a dragon retexture, I actually use this.

^that web site is block on my schools internet^

It's a video game site, so I can understand why.

 

[Darknecron]

The moderators deleted the mod. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. No sense of humor.

Google still has it cached though if you really want to see it again.

 

[briansun1]

i installed all of these and really the only ones that showed up were the texture mods i did, the lighting mod, and the map mod, the glowing ore mod (maybe the patch? i can't tell).

none of the weapons or armor mods worked for me =(
it shows they are installed but when i play the game they don't show up.

 

[Darknecron]

Since you installed them manually, you need to activate the .esp files in the "Data Files" option on the launcher.

 

[NeonCancerCandy]

i installed them through the nexus mod manager

 

[Automata]

Do they show as enabled in the NMM?

 

[NeonCancerCandy]

i enable them all before i start the game, then it closes NMM when the game starts, and then when i open NMM up again none of the boxes are checked and i have to check them all again.

this makes me think that it's just not loading the mods...
