@ Debra

If you have the Steam Version, your game should be updated automatically. At least that the way I've read and been told that Steam versions of games work. If your game is version 1.4.12 or 1.4.21 you should be patched up already.

In other news, the Creation Kit should be released Tuesday as pr. this tweet from Pete Hines. source: https://twitter.com/#!/DCDeacon/status/165536529895272449



Edit:

As for settings, there should be an option to restore defaults. Also under video or game options look under the camera options or camera controls.

Debra, when the icon is chosen it has an "x" through it, but I was confused too.

And as Karsten says, unless you chose to disable upadates in Steam, your game should have all patches.

Also, as Karsten says, there is a Restore to Default at the bottom of the Settings screen.

Thanks Karsten for all your help.

Karsten, I don't see the camera settings anywhere either under gameplay, video or audio (I scrolled down the lists all the way to the bottom). Where are they located? Would adjusting them help me with my mouse being hypersensitive?
I've moved the slider on lookspeed all the way to the right but that hasn't done it. I've disabled the Xbox controller and downloaded the UI mod.
The mouse moves so quickly that it's very disorienting and it makes me nauseated and gave me a migraine.
Would buying the Xbox controller for PC solve the problem? I'd really like to have fun with this game but so far no joy due to the mouse issue.
L4L thanks for the icon answer. I feel so dumb

Thanks for the info about the Creation Kit release! I was intimidated by the Construction Set with Oblivion and never learned how to mod, but I'm so eager to make a mod for Skyrim that I'm ready to learn this program!

Tracy, dreaming of lots and lots of dialogue options with spouses, followers, shopkeepers, and any and all NPCs!

Got it fixed!! I moved the look speed 2/3 way to the left and clicked the Y axis and it is just right for me. Thanks for the help with this. I was about to order an Xbox controller. Saved that 50 bucks.

Spouses? Did someone say spouses? I'm looking forward to an improved Balimund. I think I will have to try the creation kit too!

Woo hoo! We'll have our very own Gameboomers Modding Community.

Annie--I was thinking the same thing yesterday. If only the man would take a bath and change his clothes! I like him alot (don't worry, won't steal him from you-lol) but God love him he needs to get busy with the personal grooming.

Hope the Creation Kit isn't hard to learn because I think AnneG is right---we're going to have our own little modding community soon!

Tracy

I can't wait! Thankfully I have a half day at work on Tuesday. If they release it at midday, I'll be getting home just in time.

Thanks to a new hair mod up on Nexus, Annick is sporting a lovely new do. And I don't why she's suddenly looking so busty in this particular pic. Must be the shirt....

Debra, no feeling dumb about questions. It was far from clear to me too.

You'd be surprised at the things eldest son had to show me at first.......

I'm glad you were able to get it set to your liking. I'm itching to get back into it, but so far we are just OBE'd all the time.

Mod on ladies

I took a couple days off and came back to read all the comments. Thanks everyone about your advice! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who reloads.

I don't know anything at all about modding. What is the creation kit and how do we get it?

AnneG-your Annick is looking beautiful and yes, lol, busty! Wonder how she does it? (and can she teach me?)

Tracy

Tracy, she's got to be doing some kind of exercise. Or maybe it's all that dagger swinging. *lol*

JeanK, the creation kit is the program Bethesda used to make the game with. They take some features out of it, but they make it available to pc users in order for you to make changes to the game. You can make all sorts of changes with it. You can make new companions, make new quests, add or delete things, etc. I'm big on making player homes and I also change all the animals. I make them not attack me since I hate killing them. You can do all sorts of things with it. They're releasing it tomorrow and it'll be available through Steam. I think you download it from the Tools section on there.

I can't wait for the creation kit. I had a lot of fun messing around with Dragon Age and Oblivion. I can't wait to make dragons more dangerous.

Wow Smoosh, they aren't dangerous enough for you?
