Is she wearing heels!? Lol?

 

[fabiencolombo]

Lol, yeah she is.
Let's just say I have a different vision of skyrim than most people :whiste:

What armor is that? Or did you paint them on afterwards?

 

[fabiencolombo]

Nope it isn't painted afterward, they are all ingame screenshots.
The armore is called Tera heavy 4, with an HD retexture.

I can give you the link if you are interested and if this sites allows links for mods that contains ripped textures from another game.

Just did a fresh Skyrim install after not playing for a few months. Huge thanks to Atomic Playboy for that list of mods. Spent a couple hours last night downloading/installing, and I'm just about ready to play tonight when I get home. Can't wait to get back into it!

It is AWESOME with all the texture mods. I spent probably 4 hours already with the TPC and additionals(plus this is my first time really getting into modding skyrim) and it's night and day. Doesn't even feel like i'm playing the same game anymore

Who's the chick ;-)

great shots btw

lkailburn
Thanks.

The chick is Ysolda if I'm not mistaken.
I created a mod that changes all npc in skyrim to give them an animeish look (cause i like it).

My char on the right and Lydia on the left:

some npc examples:

I took me a while to transform all the npc, but I really like the results (I'm a sucker for anime). Than I apllied about 30GB of textures on top of it all

 

[shortylickens]

OK dude, seriously, I dont mind if you are a pedophile, just keep that shit out of the official Skyrim thread.
Ideally off our site. But that may be asking too much.

I would ask you do the same with your short mindedness and your bad manners.

I really like what you've done environmentally. I'm not a fan of the anime look, but the environments are gorgeous.

 

[fabiencolombo]

Atomic Playboy
Thank you.
If you are intersted I did make a torrent of my data file.
I reduced the size to 20GB (10GB zipped) since I know most people don't have the hardware to run it smoothly so there would be no point to distibute my original data folder (30GB).
Even so the result is quite close to the screens I posted

Huh? I wasn't poking fun

You are totally right. My bad. My comment was directed at shortylickens

I've been mucking around in the creation kit a bit and came upon this very useful tool, thought I would share it.

It disables ENB when you open the creation kit then re enables it when the CK closes.

Very handy.

The anime is a complete disgrace and made me cry, but that's just my opinion.

@fabiencolombo, it's just really not my taste but if you like it I have no say in the matter.

Just wanted to say that I have invested over 200 hours in Skyrim (235 hours according to Steam) and really enjoyed it. But now I'm tired of it. With so many hours it's normal I guess....

I didn't bother getting Hearthfire. Why? It's pretty stupid.. Why would I care building houses and adopting children? Lol! Come on... Only thing that can get me back to this game is a big DLC, like they promised... Something like Shivering Isles for Oblivion, not stupid content like Hearthfire..

Dawnguard was okay, and gave me another 15 - 20 hours, but it was not great. Bethesda said they would release fewer but much bigger DLC content, so where is it? I expect at least something in the size of Shivering Isles.. It has been almost a year since the game was released now, and all they have done is Dawnguard and that pointless Hearthfire...

Also, it annoys the hell out of me that they release content for Xbox360 at least 30 days before PC. Because of that stupid deal with Microsoft. Even though PC is the superior platform for Skyrim, and has a huge modding community behind them. I know this deal was only for the two first DLC's, but still... Also, I'm glad the two first DLC's was rather weak. I would hate to wait 30 days longer than Xbox360 users if it was a really good DLC.

 

[ArizonaSteve]

I think they released Hearthfire to fulfill the contract with Microsoft of releasing the first two DLCs for XBOX 30 days before everyone else. With the contract fulfilled, we should see simultaneous releases of any future DLC. And they should be a lot more substantial.

I think that if you don't play Skryim for a couple of months and play it again whenever the next large DLC comes out you'll find it to be fun again. That's what happened to me. I beat the game when it was first released, stopped playing earlier this year and then came back to it around Dawnguard's release and this time installed a decent number of mods. I had fun and beat dawnguard and the mage's college quest but didn't feel like finishing the game again. Instead I started a new character to play through the companion's quest and join the empire (neither of which I did played before) but got only halfway through the companion's quest before I quit playing again to play Borderlands 2.

I'd like to play through the game once again but with the amount of time needed and other games I want to play out (Dishonered, Darksiders 2, etc.) I'm not motivated to go back even though I enjoy Skyrim a lot. What I really want to see is the same thing you probably want: a large DLC that's equivilant to an expansion pack. I'd also like it be for higher level characters (25+) and for some of it to happen after the main dragonborn storyline. Hopefully, that'll come out in next 4 or 5 months and give me a reason to go back into Skyrim and play it through once again.

Also, I agree about Hearthfire. The houses you build are mix and match. Your interaction with your spouse hasn't improved (you can ask them one new question: How are the children doing?). I find the adopted children's antics annoying and not cute. All of that plus the fact that your spouse can be permantaly killed and no remarriage option killed any interest I had in hearthfire.

I played mainquest + mages guild + companions + a lot more with my first character. Also with texture mods and stuff. Then I played Everything (Almost every major quest in the game, including Dawnguard) except for mainquest with my second character. And this time using even more texture mods and stuff. So I've pretty much drained the game.

But if there comes another big DLC I may pick it up again. But I doubt I will start a new character. I will probably use my current Wood Elf. It takes way too much time starting all over again.

 

[Face2Face]

Guys.. Come on it's five bucks... It's still fun to build you own house and have a great place to store and display your items. I didn't adopt children and probably won't. For $5 it still seams like a great deal.

Sorry, I don't share you opinion in this matter. I think it's utterly stupid to release something like this and charge money for it. This is stuff the modding community can do, and probably have done? Also, I don't care for building a house in Skyrim. I want real quests and adventuring to new locations and stuff.

I would be happy to pay for a real DLC

Yeah, but it's really minor content that I have less than no interest in, and it creates compatibility issues with mods that I currently use. No thanks. I'll wait for all that to get sorted out. Hell, I don't even have Dawnguard yet....

 

[Rhezuss]

Count me in the "won't buy" wagon about Hearthfire. Looks like a terrible and non fitting DLC for such an immersive game. A shame...

 

[lkailburn]

I have purchased but haven't done anything with the Hearthfire either. It sounds terrible except that I like the ability to build your own house exactly as you'd like it. I agree it's something the mod community probably could do. Since I got into skyrim so late(only a couple of months ago) i figured there would already be more DLC's available. I was surprised there wasn't a big one yet.
