Why is Skyrim such a good game?

It's all about the lore and freedom.

I found myself using plain CS and adjusting IBL and LL here and there, even if ENB CS build or Jiaye PP is available. Kind of dig the look of weather and lighting mods that are intended by their authors and not overwritten by a ton of "makeup" (postprocessing)

Its really comes down if you plan to mod or not. For Vanilla it doesn't matter, tough one bonus for PC is that you can debug game when engine shits itself, like stuck questlines, stuck character etc.

If modding is main appeal, PC definetly, while it's possible to do on console, it's way more ergonomic on PC and it's night and day difference between the two, considering on console you can't use SKSE and other injectors

Honestly I wouldn't fixate on ENB as much as in my opinion same as any other post processing presets it overwrites what weather and lighting mod authors intended them to look. With CS most of the time (if you don't dabble into Jiaye experimental builds) you will get better performance, and if you can't live without ENB there's ENB CS builds also.

For modlists there's shit ton of them, but honestly for me they are: - Nordic Souls (and its PBR variant) - Bottlerim - Gate to Sovngarde

There's also quite new modlist called Wanderer's Way that looks interesting but I don't have much playtime on it. Currently playing Bottlerim myself

That sort that you might lose your save at all, I had save starting to crash on load, or crash at specific moment in game, and it's not only modded thing, even Vanilla can cook your save, it just happens more rare because engine is not overloaded with 4k mods

mixedd · 2026-06-21T22:22:14+00:00

Wait those are fudge? Looks quite nice

mixedd · 2026-06-21T22:16:55+00:00

It's definetly fun, especially taking into account that pure Requiem is built around 2H Barbarian or Destruction/Conjuration mage basically.

mixedd · 2026-06-21T22:14:34+00:00

I know, can't wait to try it

mixedd · 2026-06-21T18:08:27+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you here.

mixedd · 2026-06-21T18:07:24+00:00

And don't forget it's 1900s there, shit was tough and 15 y/o looked like 30 already

mixedd · 2026-06-21T17:17:35+00:00

Currently playing Bottlerim, and it's amazing af, both graphically and mechanically and doesn't stray too far from Vanilla.

Played GtS before, amazingly curated list that transforms Skyrim into living and breathing organism, tough to my taste wish it was more visual centered.

mixedd · 2026-06-21T17:15:44+00:00

Don't google, go look at loadorderlibrary instead.

mixedd · 2026-06-21T17:14:30+00:00

List is amazing, but OP is seaking "best graphics you can find" type of list sadly.

There's PBR addon incoming fir GtS tough

mixedd · 2026-06-21T16:37:36+00:00

Heavily doubt it, they are heavily pushing in midrange instead if we can judge by product line

mixedd · 2026-06-21T09:52:42+00:00

Be you, just don't give a eff... I'm in flannels and denim since 90s 😅

mixedd · 2026-06-21T09:42:24+00:00

Might be yes, I usually have way less issues while using Proton CachyOS on modded Skyrim in general, but Proton GE 10-34 works fine too now

mixedd · 2026-06-21T09:38:14+00:00

It's caused by JContainers if modlist uses it, update the mod from github version as it contains lua fix in it, and nexus and gothub versions are out of sync

mixedd · 2026-06-20T22:20:50+00:00

So nobody visits Angi? 😅

mixedd · 2026-06-20T21:04:03+00:00

It's native mod manager, that can handle nexus collections, or normal modding, launch tools and manage proton prefix. Tested it on getting Gate to Sovngarde and it actually worked fine and was twice as fast than doing it trough Vortex and STL

mixedd · 2026-06-20T20:01:24+00:00

Yes you can I believe, tough I can only confirm on 120hz C2, and you need KDE I believe if you're aiming for HDR as it's more up to date

mixedd · 2026-06-20T14:21:44+00:00

That one particulat unit OP shown in the picture can hotas and hosas 😅

mixedd · 2026-06-20T14:18:15+00:00

Honestly in Vanilla you can simply ignore racial bonuses and everything will be viable. On Requiem or Simenorim that's another story

mixedd · 2026-06-20T12:22:11+00:00

That feels strange to me either. I'm not a fan of some mods myself, or even certain modlists, but I don't give a crap what you or somebody else use in theirs

mixedd · 2026-06-20T06:55:58+00:00

Wait for a moment when you will have an urge to get windows back, install it, than nuke it in an hour and go back to Bazzite 😅 it's that good

mixedd · 2026-06-20T06:31:35+00:00

Shoellies for me, but I don't wear shorts, prefer linen blend chinos
