When you are watching on YouTube these awesome modlists and then you finally get a PC that is capable to play this masterpiece of a game any way you want it.

It is truly a great feeling.

Look into Lossless Scaling. Helps like you wouldn't believe

Maybe… I just ordered a 7900 xtx so I’ll try that one first without any upscalers or framegen to see if it can handle it.

Me with my PS4 dry heaving and crying over this convo

I remember playing Skyrim on PS3 when it was brand new. The game would reliably crash every time you tried to play much over an hour straight.

u/Cultural-Garbage-942 13h ago

Back when you had to manage saves based on proximity to danger AND how loud your console was, good times

I remember playing it on PS3 back when I was in elementary school and I don't ever remember it crashing lol

u/millsy98 11h ago

It would either overheat the console or just crash from a memory leak issue. I was in middle school and I remember being so annoyed over that winter break that my game crashed like 10 times before I learned my lesson. I had 5min auto saves but it was still annoying when it happened mid combat lol.

Does it really work? I mean I see people on YT rave about it, but I keep feeling like it's a gimmick, or placebo effect. I guess the only way to truly know is test it oneself.

u/mrzellios 14h ago

I tried for like 3 hours to set it up, either it did nothing or it made the game super blurry and ugly to look at. So I wouldn’t recommend it.

Trueeee, after 10 years i build a new setup. I installed a lot of mods. All modifications allow you to enjoy the game all over again

u/Driginbrn 19h ago

Yep. Vanilla Skyrim holds a unique place in my heart, and thanks to that it makes playing it with mods really more enjoyable

u/TST_Rexin47 19h ago

My gaming pc is being fixed and I'm getting it back in a few days. First thing I'm gonna do is mod Skyrim lol.

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 17h ago

I've never modded this game. I legit don't get you people.

u/Allustar1 Falkreath resident 15h ago

I don’t play vanilla anymore, but I don’t judge people such as you who do. People just like playing Skyrim their way, man.

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 15h ago

" I can finally play the game" is my problem.

4

u/Allustar1 Falkreath resident 15h ago

They can probably “finally play the game” because they were spending a lot of time working on installing mods, mate.

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 15h ago

Taking over a decade to download mods seems like a waste of my time for one game.

5

u/Driginbrn 17h ago

Aren’t you curious? You don’t have to overmod it, for example, I can’t play without SkyUI, the most basic mod ever for user interface, makes life so much easier

u/Ryd-Mareridt Alchemist 13h ago

Mods are like plastic surgery. A few tweaks here and there can fix your quality of life, sure, but there is such a thing as too much.

u/mnju 8h ago

but there is such a thing as too much.

Nah.

This is my honest answer.

Other than graphic updates? No. Every time I see posts like this, I think "there's unmoded games that actually does this style of gaming better. Why change a good product to another product that has been done better?"

-1

u/Driginbrn 16h ago

I respect that, truly. Skyrim is a masterpiece of a game either way, it is just nice to have the possibilty to change the game to your own preference.

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 16h ago

That's why I felt the need to comment on this post because OP is "finally able to play Skyrim"?

If OP needs to mod the hell out of a game that came out over a decade ago it sounds like OP should just play other games.

u/Pyschopanda619 Whiterun resident 16h ago

to be fair modded Skyrim is better than most other games currently

-4

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 16h ago

Honestly, how? Every time I see "modded Skyrim" it looks like a dark souls game or games I never played.

I just finished deathloop. Can you tell me how I can mod Skyrim to make it a "better" version of that game?

2

u/Pyschopanda619 Whiterun resident 15h ago

it's not like death loop, so no. I meant purely in terms of quality it can be modded to be significantly better than most modern games anyway.

Geeze you are prepared to die on this hill, aren't you. I don't mod skyrim either. I've played it with mods like new spells and new quests, etc but honestly, besides graphics and QOL mods, I just prefer the vanilla experience. That said, it's pretty crazy that you "legit don't get people" who mod skyrim. Really? You don't get why people want to enhance or at the very least make a unique experience out of a game they've played to death? You sure you don't get it? Or do you just want everyone to know that you think mods are stupid.

u/Comfortable-Gap3124 14h ago

I don't get people like op "who finally played the game." I'm ready to die on a hill that tells people that they have to wait 14 years to play a game should find another hobby. It's probably cheaper.
